jemdoc-rs provides several inline formatting options.

Basic Formatting

Renders as: Bold text, italic text, underlined text, monospace text.

Combining Styles

You can nest formatting markers:

• Bold italic

• Bold underline

• Italic underline

• Bold monospace

Special Characters

Quotes

jemdoc-rs converts straight quotes into typographic (curly) quotes:

• Double quotes: “like this”

• Single left quote: ‘like this

• Apostrophe: it's automatic

Escaping

Precede any special character with a backslash to output it literally:

• \* produces *

• \/ produces /

• \_ produces _

• \+ produces +

• \~ produces ~

• \# produces #

• \$ produces $

• \\\ produces \

Monospace with Percent Signs

Use percent signs for monospace that preserves special characters inside:

%<div class=“example”>% renders as: <div class="example">

Line Breaks and Paragraph Breaks

A backslash-n (\n) forces a line break within a paragraph.
Like this.

A backslash-p (\p) forces a new paragraph mid-block.

Like this — a new paragraph without blank lines in the source.

Comments

Lines starting with # are comments and do not appear in the output:

# This is a comment---you cannot see it in the rendered page.

The line above this paragraph is a comment in the source.

Headings

jemdoc-rs supports four levels of headings using = signs:

This is H1

This is H2

This is H3

This is H4

In a .jemdoc source, if some level of headings is used directly after the # jemdoc: configurations without blank lines, it will also sets the browser window title unless overridden by the title directive.
