TXT2TAGS SAMPLE Aurelio Jargas 10/20/2010 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 (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 explicit link (http://duh.org) 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). 1. one 2. two 3. three - mixed lists! - what a mess 1. counting again 2. ... 4. 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 1. again! 2. 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. ------------------------------------------------------- [img/t2tpowered.png] (sample.t2t (sample.t2t))
