Documents are broken into paragraphs by blank lines.
Empty paragraphs are ignored.
+
+If every line in the paragraph begins with (optional white·space
+ followed by) `»` it is quoted (`<html:blockquote>`); if every line
+ begins with `]` it is bracketed.
+The lines, minus this leading, are then re‐analysed.
+Bracketed paragraphs which end quotes are treated as captions
+ (`<html:figcaption>`); otherwise, they are footers (`<html:footer>`).
+
Non·empty paragraphs are classified as follows :—
- If the paragraph consists of only the following section‐break
| `＿` | `U+FF3F` | `FULLWIDTH LOW LINE` |
| `～` | `U+FF5E` | `FULLWIDTH TILDE` |
-- If every line in the paragraph begins with at least one space, then
- it is considered to be a quoted paragraph (`<html:blockquote>`).
- 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.
+- Otherwise, the paragraph is ordinary.
-After this classification, each quoted or unquoted paragraph is further
+After this classification, each ordinary 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) :—
+ followed by white·space, a pilcrow, 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 continuation paragraph
(`<html:div class="continuation">`).
- Continuation paragraphs may be used to continue a preceding list item
- or quote.
- Note, however, that an unquoted paragraph cannot continue a quoted
- one, or vice·versa.
+ Continuation paragraphs may be used to continue a preceding div or
+ list item.
- Otherwise, it is an ordinary paragraph.
-Following this sigil (if any, including trailing white·space) there may
- be a `¶` followed by zero or more non·white·space characters.
+Following this sigil (if any) there may be a `¶` followed by zero or
+ more non·white·space characters.
The characters following the `¶` give the identifier for the paragraph,
which is expected to be unique within a document.
+This may be suffixed with a language tag beginning with `@` and
+ terminated with `$`.
The remaining characters in a paragraph form its contents.
Markup within paragraphs is delimited with·out exception by pairs of
white·space‐only text nodes after elements ignored; if there is no
such previous element or text node, an empty text node is used
instead.
- Multiple attributes can be given in sequence.
+ Multiple attributes can be given in sequence using multiple
+ specifications.
Text nodes with attributes are wrapped in `<html:span>`.
- The characters `{🔗` and `>}` indicate a hyperlink to a U·R·L
- The characters `⸶` and `⸷` indicate names (`<html:u class="name">`).
- The characters `⟨` and `⟩` indicate offset text (`<html:i>`).
- This may be followed by a `@`, a language tag, and a `$` to provide
- the language of the text.
- The characters `⦃` and `⦄` indicate keyword highlighting
(`<html:b>`).
Once the tree is built as above, it is remediated into its final form
by the following steps :—
-- Successive quoted paragraphs are joined into one quote.
- If the final quoted paragraph is an ordinary paragraph which begins
- with `—` and a space, the quote is wrapped in a `<html:figure>`
- and the final paragraph becomes its `<html:figcaption>`.
-
- Continuation paragraphs are joined with the preceding list items or
- quotes.
+ divs.
- List items of a higher level are nested in preceding list items, when
present.
