*TXT2TAGS SAMPLE*

= Introduction =

Welcome to the txt2tags sample file.

Here you have examples and a brief explanation of all
marks.

The first 3 lines of the this file are used as headers,
on the following format:

{{{
line1: document title
line2: author name, email
line3: date, version
}}}

Lines with balanced equal signs = around are titles.

= Fonts and Beautifiers =

We have two sets of fonts:

The NORMAL type that can be improved with beautifiers.

The TYPEWRITER type that uses monospaced font for
pre-formatted text.

We will now enter on a subtitle...

== Beautifiers ==

The text marks for beautifiers are simple, just as you
type on a plain text email message.

We use double *, /, - and _ to represent *bold*,
_italic_, ~~strike~~ and underline.

The *_bold italic_* style is also supported as a
combination.

== Pre-Formatted Text ==

We can put a code sample or other pre-formatted text:

{{{
  here    is     pre-formatted
//marks// are  **not**  ``interpreted``
}}}

And also, it's easy to put a one line pre-formatted
text:

{{{
prompt$ ls /etc
}}}

Or use {{{pre-formatted}}} inside sentences.

== More Cosmetics ==

Special entities like email (mailto:duh@somewhere.com) and
URL (http://www.duh.com) are detected automagically,
as long as the horizontal line:



^ thin or large v



You can also specify an [http://duh.org explicit link]
with label.

And remember,

  A TAB in front of the line does a quotation.
    More TABs, more depth (if allowed).

Nice.

= Lists =

A list of items is natural, just putting a *dash* or
a *plus* at the beginning of the line.

== Plain List ==

The dash is the default list identifier. For sublists,
just add *spaces* at the beginning of the line. More
spaces, more sublists.

 * earth
   * america
     * south america
       * brazil
         * how deep can i go?
   * europe
     * lots of countries
 * mars
   * who knows?

The list ends with *two* consecutive blank lines.

== Numbered List ==

The same rules as the plain list, just a different
identifier (plus).

 # one
 # two
 # three
   * mixed lists!
   * what a mess
     # counting again
     # ...
 # four

== Definition List ==

The definition list identifier is a colon, followed by
the term. The term contents is placed on the next line.

orange
  a yellow fruit
apple
  a green or red fruit
other fruits
   * wee!
   * mixing lists
     # again!
     # and again!

= Tables =

Use pipes to compose table rows and cells.
Double pipe at the line beginning starts a heading row.
Natural spaces specify each cell alignment.

|| *heading 1* || *heading 2* || *heading 3* ||
|| cell 1.1 || cell 1.2 || cell 1.3 ||
|| cell 2.1 || cell 2.2 || cell 2.3 ||

Without the last pipe, no border:

|| *heading 1* || *heading 2* || *heading 3* ||
|| cell 1.1 || cell 1.2 || cell 1.3 ||
|| cell 2.1 || cell 2.2 || cell 2.3 ||

= Special Entities =

Because things were too simple.

== Images ==

The image mark is as simple as it can be: {{{[filename]}}}.

                      [img/photo.jpg]  

 * The filename must end in PNG, JPG, GIF, or similar.
 * No spaces inside the brackets!

== Other ==

The handy {{{%%date}}} macro expands to the current date.

So today is 20101031 on the ISO {{{YYYYMMDD}}} format.

You can also specify the date format with the %? flags,
as {{{%%date(%m-%d-%Y)}}} which gives: 10-31-2010.

That's all for now.
