============================================================

 Welcome to the txt2tags sample file.

 Here you have examples and a brief explanation of all
 marks.

 The first 3 lines of the this file are used as headers,
 on the following format:

  line1: document title
  line2: author name, email
  line3: date, version

 Lines with balanced equal signs = around are titles.

 We have two sets of fonts:

 The NORMAL type that can be improved with beautifiers.

 The TYPEWRITER type that uses monospaced font for
 pre-formatted text.

 We will now enter on a subtitle...


 Beautifiers
 ===========

 The text marks for beautifiers are simple, just as you
 type on a plain text email message.

============================================================

 We use double *, /, - and _ to represent *bold*,
 /italic/, -strike- and _underline_.

 The */bold italic/* style is also supported as a
 combination.


 Pre-Formatted Text
 ==================

 We can put a code sample or other pre-formatted text:

    here    is     pre-formatted
  //marks// are  **not**  ``interpreted``

============================================================

 And also, it's easy to put a one line pre-formatted
 text:

  prompt$ ls /etc

 Or use pre-formatted inside sentences.


 More Cosmetics
 ==============

 Special entities like email (duh@somewhere.com) and
 URL (http://www.duh.com) are detected automagically,
 as long as the horizontal line:

 A list of items is natural, just putting a *dash* or
 a *plus* at the beginning of the line.


 Plain List
 ==========

 The dash is the default list identifier. For sublists,
 just add *spaces* at the beginning of the line. More
 spaces, more sublists.

 The definition list identifier is a colon, followed by
 the term. The term contents is placed on the next line.

 Use pipes to compose table rows and cells.
 Double pipe at the line beginning starts a heading row.
 Natural spaces specify each cell alignment.

          +-----------+-------------+------------+          
          | heading 1 |  heading 2  |  heading 3 |

 The image mark is as simple as it can be: [filename].

                       [img/photo.jpg]
