Setext was created by Ian Feldman <ianf@random.se>, you can contact him for
his setext documents. I'll try and make them available via HTTP after
I get my converter working better (they are in setext).
setext = structure-enchanced text
The Basics:
Title -> <TITLE>Title</TITLE>
===== -> <H1>Title</H1>
subhead
------- -> <H2>subhead</H2>
**bold** -> <B>bold</B>
~italic~ -> <I>italic</I>
_under_lined_ -> <I>under lined</I>
hyper_text_ -> <A HREF="http:foo">hyper text</A>
.. _hyper_text_ http:foo
.. other dotdot lines are ignored
Note that you can put the ".. _hyper_text_ ..." lines anywhere (at the
end is a nice place). This makes the text easier to read.
Setext also defines a blockquote and list style, I'll add support for
them before I release it.
<BLOCKQUOTE> for lines like:
> this is a block quote,
> look familiar?
and <UL>...</UL> for:
* list item 1
* list item 2
Currently I can convert documents like:
Sample Setext Document
======================
This is a sample setext_ document that shows off the various features
of setext_ and how easy it is write hypertext documents.
Wouldn't **you** like to be able to write documents using this _simple_
form of document markup?
What can you do with setext?
