# 💄📝 Les·M·L
There is only one level of paragraph quoting; quoted paragraphs may
not be quoted again.
+- If every line in the paragraph begins with zero or more white·space
+ characters followed by `|`, it is a “preformatted” paragraph and
+ white·space is not collapsed (`<html:pre>`).
+ A paragraph may be both quoted and preformatted.
+
- Otherwise, the paragraph is unquoted.
After this classification, each quoted or unquoted paragraph is further
classified by type based on its first character (which is must be
followed by white·space, or else the only thing on the line) :—
+- If the paragraph is preformatted, it is an ordinary paragraph.
+
- If the paragraph begins with `⁌`, it is a chapter heading
(`<html:h1>`).
- The characters `⸨` and `⸩` indicate parenthetical content
(`<html:small>`).
-- The characters `☞︎` and `☜︎` indicate strong importance
- (`<html:strong>`).
-
-- The characters `⹐` and `⹑` indicate emphasis (`<html:em>`).
+- The characters `` ` `` and `´` indicate code (`<html:code>`).
- The characters `⟪` and `⟫` indicate titles (`<html:cite>`).
- The characters `⦃` and `⦄` indicate keyword highlighting
(`<html:b>`).
-- The characters `` ` `` and `´` indicate code (`<html:code>`).
+- The characters `☞︎` and `☜︎` indicate strong importance
+ (`<html:strong>`).
+
+- The characters `⹐` and `⹑` indicate emphasis (`<html:em>`).
Once the tree is built as above, it is remediated into its final form
by the following steps :—
- Successive list items of the same level and class are joined into
a single list.
+- Linebreaks in preformatted paragraphs are replaced with `<html:br>`.
+
Finally, any character can be escaped by instead providing its Unicode
- codepoint in the form `<U+NNNN>`, where `NNNN` is one or more
+ codepoint in the form `{U+NNNN}`, where `NNNN` is one or more
hexadecimal digits.
Multiple codepoints may be provided separated by periods, as in
- `<U+WWWW.ZZZZ>`
+ `{U+WWWW.ZZZZ}`
