PlainText Styles (PTS)

What is PlainText Styles

PlainText Styles is an alter alternative to Markdown, designed to have more human readable syntax. (Partially inspired by Zim)

The Basics

Firstly, a BRAND new feature: metadata!!

Metadata is defined like this:

¦key: value¦

or like this:

¦¦¦
  key: value
  other_key: value
¦¦¦

The most common metadata is ¦version: 1.0¦ or some other version, without it the compiler will interpret it as the latest version

Additionally, the italic syntax makes more sense by using /

PTS

//Italic//

MD

_Italic_
*Italic*

There isn't just a bold syntax, there is font weight

In markdown you use **asterisk** syntax for bold

but in PTS you specify the font weight:

*Light* (font weight 100)
**Light** (font weight 200)

Use [ ] for repeating

If you want 50 of the letter a you could type:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

or you could type:

a[50]
or
[aa][25]

Find the rest of the syntax in DOCS.md or syntax.pts
