How to create a new markup #

KnowWE is designed for the easy introduction of new (e.g., project specific) markups. Therefore, an extra plugin extension point is provided. Further, a markup template is defined that allows to make benefit of existing implementations of parser and autocompletion functionality. We call this template DefaultMarkup. The implementation of a new markup based on the DefaultMarkup can be achieved at very low implementation workload. It is recommended to always make use of this template when creating a new markup (except for the very rare cases where it is not suitable).

The DefaultMarkup has a particular predefined syntactical structure that can be coined by a custom keyword and custom annotation.
