Introduction#

The DefaultMarkup is a markup template allowing to create new markups at low implementation workload. Further, the use of this template asserts a consistent structure of all markups leading to a unified look and feel of the system, considering syntax, rendering, and editing support.

This page describes the DefaultMarkup in general. An instructional page describing how to actually create a new markup based on the DefaultMarkup can be found here: How-To Markup

The exemplary use of different kinds of DefaultMarkups can be found in the Demos, for example here: Demo - Master

Syntactical Structure#

A DefaultMarkup section always is introduced by two percent-signs (~)followed by the specific keyword of the markup.

Multi-line markup#

A DefaultMarkup section as multiple lines is terminated by another percent-sign (%).

%%<keyword> 
<content>
%

Single line markup#

DefaultMarkup blocks can also be defined in a single line. Then no trailing sign is required and the block is terminated by the line-break.

%%<keyword> <content>

Annotations#

Additionally to the content, also markup specific parameters can be specified. An annotation parameter is always state at the end of the markup block and is introduced by '@'. Each markup implementation defines which annotations can be specified. More details about how to specify this can be found here: How-To Markup

A DefaultMarkup section as multiple lines is terminated by another percent-sign (%).

Multi-line markup #

%%<keyword> 
<content>
@<annotation-name>: <value>
%

Single line markup#

DefaultMarkup blocks can also be defined in a single line. Then no trailing sign is required and the block is terminated by the line-break.

%%<keyword> <content> @<annotation-name>: <value>

Autocompletion#

For an implementation of each DefaultMarkup basic autocompletion functionality is provided automatically. After typing %%'' the completion menu is shown by pressing Cmd+space as shown in the following screenshot. For each markup also an overview about the available annotations with the respective value range is shown.
