Markup Syntax

The markup syntax is very simple:

• Provide a header with title and other information at the top:

  [title: My Document Title]
  [author: My Name]
  [date: January 1, 2015]
  [occasion: New Year's Day]
  [text: Luke 2:21-40]
  

  Note that all fields are optional.

• Leave a blank line between paragraphs.

• Use *asterisks* for emphasis (rendered in italics)

• Use ^{notename} within the text for a footnote/endnote reference. Provide the footnote below your text with

  {ref:notename:Author, *Title*. etc...}
  

• For an offset block quotation, prepend > to each line of a paragraph:

  > This paragraph will be
  > a block quote.
  

• Text enclosed between [* starred braces *] will be ignored as a comment.
