Character escaping
You won't do much with special chars here: <>!@#$%^&*()_+[]\
Paragraphs
Each paragraph is separated by blank line.
So this is second one.
Heading
Each heading is denoted by one or more '=' at the very beginning of line.
So this is second level heading
Not surprising, huh?
Lists:
Besides the free-form text you can have lists. Either unnumbered (ul):
- one
- two
- three
or definition:
- HTML
- HyperText Mark-up Language
- CSS
- Cascading Style Sheets
- HTTP
- HyperText Transfer Protocol
Code blocks
Another possibility is to have code blocks:
while(1){
printf("I am code, you know?\n");
}
Good thing on code block is, it behaves like "verbatim" in TeX and the delimiters were selected to auto-fold in "vim".
Auto-TOC
Of course the system has automatically generated TOC, whose items are pointing to appropriate headings in the spec.
That's it.
Not much, but for writing specs it's sufficient, IMHO.
Oh, and the HTML code should validate, IMHO.
