Markup

Formats

There are four different formats. Formats can be combined, but are only restrict to one line.

Format	Code
Italics	*Text*
Bold	**Text**
Underline	_Text_
Code	`Text`

There are also footnote (syntax {^footnote}), endnote (syntax {*endnote}), links (syntax <@reference id|link text> or <link path|link text>), agenda (syntax {! todo}), and citation (syntax {@id}).

Sections

Each section had a heading or an outline point at the top of the section. This markup language allows you to have no heading or outline, but the section has to be at the top of file. An outline point is nested inside a section with an heading, or is before the first section with headings.

Heading and outline

A heading or an outline can have an id that can be linked to a different point of file. The syntax is @category-id: and it set before the first text, other than the syntax used to indicated the heading and outline style. Refers to the section by using <@id>.

There are six level for both headings and outlines.

A heading or an outline can also have a status with details, A status is optional, and can be #STUB, #DRAFT, #FINAL, # (custom) and none. After the status, there are details to go with the status. It will be at the end of the line.

The syntax of a heading is:

= @category-id:Title for largest heading # status
== Title for heading 2 #DRAFT
======Smallest headings

The syntax of a outline is:

!# Largest outline point
!######Smallest outline pointe

Main Line Styles

There are several types of line styles.

Line styles	Syntax	Notes
Numbered	# text	Add tabs before # to increase level (up to six)
Bullet	- text	Add tabs before - to increase level (up to six)
Quote	> text
Section Break	***	It has no text after the * or allow spaces anywhere
Paragraph	text	There is no symbol used at the beginning of the line

Note Styles

In addition there are footnote, and endnote, that can be referred to even outside of the section that the line belongs in. Footnotes appears at end of a page, while endnote appears at the end of either a section or a document.

All footnote and endnotes will have an id and text before they can appear in the printed document.

Types	Line Syntax	In Text Syntax
Footnote	!^id:text	{^id}
Endnote	!*id:text	{*id}

Footnote will count by numbers, while endnote count by letters.

Hyperlink

Hyperlinks can be link to a section or a web page. If the referred link points to a referred link needs a line somewhere with the following syntax:

!@id:webpage path

A referred link needs to have an id and text before it can appears in the printed document.

Both referred link and section links has the following syntax: <@id|text> while direct links has the following syntax: <web page path| text>. Text (include the symbol | are optional, and will be replace by the web page path or the section title if none is found.

Agenda

Agenda marks parts of the document to be work on later. There are two types of agendas, in text or a single line.

In text agenda uses the following syntax {@text} while a single line of agenda uses the following syntax:

!! to do text

Notes

!% @id: text
!% more text
!>source: sources

Id and sources are optional, but both are required if the note is from research and is being use as a citation.

• a way to cite in text with start the line with one of the following:
  • !>in-text: appears in the text
  • !>footnote: appears as a footnote

To use the source, use {@id}.
