Formatting in Brief
````````````````````````
kettext's general text formatting is styled after standard online communications. Those familiar with Markdown will note that similarity, and this is for good reason -- it works well.

This section only covers the basic and non-processing features of kettext, and as such, is more of the stylistic definition.

Text Formatting
````````````````
Within a [[text block]](#Text_Blocks), sections of text may be surrounded by styling indicators. These lexical indicators use the following patterns:

  #*emphasis*
  #**bold**
  #_underline_
  #//italic//
  #((note))
  #[[link]]
  #``code``

Text Blocks
````````````````
Text blocks are sections of text that are organized into the follow categories:

  * **paragraph**
  * **preformatted**
  * **code**
  * **blockquote**

A text block continues until a completely empty line is found _or_ a differing block type, [[List]](#Lists), or [[Header]](#Headers) is found. [[Text formatting]](#Text_Formatting) is assumed to only work in paragraphs, and only conditionally in blockquotes (see: [[Block Formatters]](#Block_Formatters)).

Paragraph text blocks are very straight-forward:

  #This is a paragraph.
  #It can span multiple lines.
  #
  #This is a separate paragraph.

Preformatted text blocks must have every line indented via a tab or 2 spaces:

  #  This is a preformatted text block.
  #  It can also span multiple lines.
  #  
  #  This is the same preformatted text block due to the above line using indentation.

Code text blocks are intended as per preformatted text, but must have a "#" immediately following indentation:

  #  # This is a code text block.
  #  # It also spans multiple lines.
  #  #
  #  # This is also the same code text block due to the above indentation and "#" sign.

Blockquote text blocks are signified by having every line begin with ">".

  # > Blockquotes can also span
  # > multiple lines!
  # >
  # > and can be considered as one quote if empty lines are indented properly.

Lists
````````````````
Lists are organized outlines of items. Lists are indicated by a tab or 2 spaces followed by any of the following:
  #*
  #~
  #-
  #+
  #3 characters followed by a "."

List depth is controlled by the level of indentation provided:

  #  * Item 1
  #    * Sub-item 1
  #  * Item 2

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Headers
````````````````
Headers come in two styles. The first is the single-line header, indicated by a non-space character repeating at least 2 times:

  # ==== Header

Single-line headers may have an optional close indicator, providing it exactly matches the opening indicator:

  # ==== Header ====

The level of character repitition provides the level of depth, with larger repititions indicating a higher precedence as a header. This behavior can be reversed, as indicated in [[Header Formatting]](#Header_Formatters).

Multi-line headers are indicated by three lines: a start line, containing non-space characters repeating at least 2 times, a heading line, and a closing line operating under the same rules as the start line.

  # ,,,,,,,,
  # Header
  # ````````

The start line indicates the precedence of the header, which larger repititions indicating higher precedence. As per single-line headers, this behavior can optionally be reversed.

Start and close lines do not have to have the same characters, nor do they have to have the same length.
