modern markup

a collection of my notes upon common markup languages.
most of them suck, including html.
do not expect to understand each&every part of this.

headings

use ‘#’, ‘§’, and ‘=’ at the start of a line.

heading numbering is done by introducing a [+] or standard numeration BEFORE the heading marker.

bold

should be *bold* έ̦ **bold** [CommonMark]

italic

should be /italic/ & //italic// & __italic__ according to CommonMark.

bullet

it is better to use a hyphen, though sometimes the bullet looks better.
CommonMark suggests to use both [*] & [-] for a simple bullet:
need to use [-] for em/en-dash and [*] for bullet.

also AsciiDoc proposes bulleting similar to headings:

* first level
** second level
*** third level
** second level again
* first level again

numbered list:

I really like the auto-incrementing register, but it may suffer from addition function, so we use both versions: CommonMark/Original and auto. the latter one uses [+] for incrementing and standard indentation for sublists.

quotes:

both versions I’ve seen are good — the CommonMark/Original uses [>], the vim version — ["].

table:

outline, simile to MarkedText.

other variants are too hard to parse and do not represent the info well enough.

e. g. of MT table

!first row
  !second column
    !third column
!second row
  !- list in second column
   - another note
   - and another
    !+ numbered list in third column
     + another numbered note
     + and another one
!I am a cow
  !etc.
    !etc.

insertion

pluses from MarkedText [++inserted++] or [+inserted+]

deletion/strikeout

hyphens from MarkedText [--deleted--] or [-deleted-]

inline math

I dunno `-o_o-´

maybe the MarkedText inline code usage (look down) or R Markdown superscript [^] and subscript. definitely not the [$$]

inline code

links and references

links

links are automatically found and highlighted:

(title of a link)https://somewhere.org

small caps

bangs and if more than two or three capitals

[!small caps! or SMALL CAPS]

graphs

R Markdown or grap. they are equally good, but grap does not work well with neatroff :(
I would like to use postscript or svgs for graphs a lot.

table of contents

automatic based on the headings.

metadata

title, author, and theme are in YAML/Beamer style ⅋ iA’s.
we do not need a separator [---].

title: Habits
author: John Doe
date: March 22 2005
output: presentation (or txt/md/pdf/html)


	reciever
	where
	postal code

	sender
	postal code
	from

images

Commonmark, maybe with parentheses instead of brackets, or using @ [at sign] as in sent (linux, and Slide (android)).

preferred:(title)image.jpg

jpg|png|gif|webp are automatically loaded.

marginal notes/sidenotes

a second place where I say I dunno O_o

should be the same as footnotes, yet controllable by user
(the best is like on iA blog).

footnotes

checkbox

...meow.... (^~^)°
I dunno.

the default one is [ ] for unchecked and [-] or [*] for checked.

comments

pandoc/lua [-- 'comment'] or groff [ .\" ].

chemistry

SMILES.

Bonds are noted like this:

emoji

:emoji: for 😄

not in use

maybe use ’em on the start of the line to signal something...

also the syntax *must* be easily understandable in any text editor.
