# 💄📝 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 to be recognized) :—
+ 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>`).
- If the paragraph begins with `⚠︎`, it is a warning note
(`<html:div role="note" class="warn">`).
+- If the paragraph begins with `#`, it is a comment.
+ Comments produce X·M·L comment nodes and can be used to break up list
+ items into separate lists.
+
- If the paragraph begins with `⋯`, it is a continuation paragraph
(`<html:div class="continuation">`).
Continuation paragraphs may be used to continue a preceding list item
- 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}`
