+Textile is a lightweight markup language that uses a text formatting syntax to
+convert plain text into structured HTML markup. The syntax is a shorthand
+version of HTML that is designed to be easy to read and write. Textile is used
+for writing articles, forum posts, readme documentation, and any other type of
+written content published online.

+## Comments
+
+```textile
+###. Comments begin with three (3) '#' signs followed by a full-stop period '.'.
+Comments can span multiple lines until a blank line is reached.
+
+###..
+Multi-line comments (including blank lines) are indicated by three (3) '#'
+signs followed by two (2) full-stop periods '..'.
+
+This line is also part of the above comment.
+
+The comment continues until the next block element is reached
+
+p. This line is not commented
+
+<!-- HTML comments are also…
+
+respected -->
+
+```
+
+## Paragraphs
+
+```textile
+###. Paragraphs are a one or multiple adjacent lines of text separated by one or
+multiple blank lines. They can also be indicated explicitly with a 'p. '
+
+This is a paragraph. I'm typing in a paragraph isn't this fun?
+
+Now I'm in paragraph 2.
+I'm still in paragraph 2 too!
+Line breaks without blank spaces are equivalent to a <br /> in XHTML.
+
+p. I'm an explicitly defined paragraph
+
+ Lines starting with a blank space are not wrapped in <p>..</p> tags.
+
+###. Paragraphs (and all block elements) can be aligned using shorthand:
+
+p<. Left aligned paragraph (default).
+
+p>. Right aligned paragraph.
+
+p=. Centered paragraph.
+
+p<>. Justified paragraph.
+
+h3>. Right aligned <h3>
+
+
+###. Paragraphs can be indented using a parentheses for each em
+Indentation utilizes padding-[left/right] css styles.
+
+p(. Left indent 1em.
+
+p((. Left indent 2em.
+
+p))). Right indent 3em.
+
+h2). This is equivalent to <h2 style="padding-right: 1em;">..</h2>
+
+
+###. Block quotes use the tag 'bq.'
+
+bq. This is a block quote.
+
+bq.:http://someurl.com You can include a citation URL immediately after the '.'
+
+bq.. Multi-line blockquotes containing
+
+blank lines are indicated using two periods
+
+p. Multi-line blockquotes continue until a new block element is reached.
+
+bq. You can add a footer to a blockquote using html:
+<footer>citation text</footer>
+
+
+###. Preformatted text blocks:
+
+pre. This text is preformatted. <= those two spaces will carry through.
+
+pre.. This is a multi-line preformatted…
+
+…text block that includes blank lines
+
+p. End a multi-line preformatted text block with a new block element.
+
+```
+
+## Headings
+
+You can create HTML elements `<h1>` through `<h6>` easily by prepending the
+text you want to be in that element by 'h#.' where # is the level 1-6.
+A blank line is required after headings.
+
+
+```textile
+h1. This is an <h1>
+
+h2. This is an <h2>
+
+h3. This is an <h3>
+
+h4. This is an <h4>
+
+h5. This is an <h5>
+
+h6. This is an <h6>
+
+```
+
+
+## Simple text styles
+
+```textile
+###. Bold and strong text are indicated using asterisks:
+
+*This is strong text*
+**This is bold text**
+This is [*B*]old text within a word.
+
+*Strong* and **Bold** usually display the same in browsers
+but they use different HTML markup, thus the distinction.
+
+###. Italics and emphasized text are indicated using underscores.
+
+_This is Emphasized text_
+__This is Italics text__
+This is It[_al_]ics within a word.
+
+_Emphasized_ and __Italics__ text typically display the same in browsers,
+but again, they use different HTML markup and thus the distinction.
+
+###. Superscripts and Subscripts use carats and tildes:
+
+Superscripts are 2 ^nd^ to none, but subscripts are CO ~2~ L too.
+Note the spaces around the superscripts and subscripts.
+
+To avoid the spaces, add square brackets around them:
+2[^nd^] and CO[~2~]L
+
+###. Insertions and deletions are indicated using -/+ symbols:
+This is -deleted- text and this is +inserted+ text.
+
+###. Citations are indicated using double '?':
+
+??This is a cool citation??
+
+```
+
+## Lists
+
+```textile
+###. Unordered lists can be made using asterisks '*' to indicate levels:
+
+* Item
+** Sub-Item
+* Another item
+** Another sub-item
+** Yet another sub-item
+*** Three levels deep
+
+###. Ordered lists are done with a pound sign '#':
+
+# Item one
+# Item two
+## Item two-a
+## Item two-b
+# Item three
+** Mixed unordered list within ordered list
+
+###. Ordered lists can start above 1 and can continue after another block:
+
+#5 Item 5
+# Item 6
+
+additional paragraph
+
+#_ Item 7 continued from above
+# Item 8
+
+###. Definition lists are indicated with a dash and assignment:
+
+- First item := first item definition
+- Second := second def.
+- Multi-line :=
+Multi-line
+definition =:
+```
+
+## Code blocks
+
+```textile
+Code blocks use the 'bc.' shorthand:
+
+bc. This is code
+ So is this
+
+This is outside of the code block
+
+bc.. This is a multi-line code block
+
+Blank lines are included in the multi-line code block
+
+p. End a multi-line code block with any block element
+
+p. Indicate @inline code@ using the '@' symbol.
+
+```
+
+## Horizontal rule
+
+Horizontal rules (`<hr/>`) are easily added with two hyphens
+
+```textile
+--
+```
+
+## Links
+
+```textile
+###. Link text is in quotes, followed by a colon and the URL:
+
+"Link text":http://linkurl.com/ plain text.
+
+"Titles go in parentheses at the end of the link text"(mytitle):http://url.com
+###. produces <a href... title="mytitle">...</a>
+
+###. Use square brackets when the link text or URL might be ambiguous:
+["Textile on Wikipedia":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_(markup_language)]
+
+###. Named links are useful if the same URL is referenced multiple times.
+Multiple "references":txstyle to the "txstyle":txstyle website.
+
+[txstyle]https://txstyle.org/
+
+```
+
+## Images
+
+```textile
+###. Images can be included by surrounding its URL with exclamation marks (!)
+Alt text is included in parenthesis after the URL, and they can be linked too:
+
+!http://imageurl.com!
+
+!http://imageurl.com(image alt-text)!
+
+!http://imageurl.com(alt-text)!:http://image-link-url.com
+
+```
+
+## Footnotes and Endnotes
+
+```textile
+A footnote is indicated with the reference id in square brackets.[1]
+
+fn1. Footnote text with a "link":http://link.com.
+
+A footnote without a link.[2!]
+
+fn2. The corresponding unlinked footnote.
+
+A footnote with a backlink from the footnote back to the text.[3]
+
+fn3^. This footnote links back to the in-text citation.
+
+
+Endnotes are automatically numbered[#first] and are indicated using square[#second]
+brackets and a key value[#first]. They can also be unlinked[#unlinkednote!]
+
+###. Give the endnotes text:
+
+note#first. This is the first endnote text.
+
+note#second. This is the second text.
+
+note#unlinkednote. This one isn't linked from the text.
+
+### Use the notelist block to place the list of notes in the text:
+This list will start with #1. Can also use alpha or Greeks.
+notelist:1. ###. start at 1 (then 2, 3, 4...)
+notelist:c. ###. start at c (then d, e, f...)
+notelist:α. ###. start at α (then β, γ, δ...)
+
+###. The notelist syntax is as follows:
+
+notelist. Notes with backlinks to every citation made to them.
+notelist+. Notes with backlinks to every citation made to them,
+ followed by the unreferenced notes.
+notelist^. Notes with one backlink to the first citation made to each note.
+notelist^+. Notes with one backlink to the first citation made to each note,
+ followed by unreferenced notes.
+notelist!. Notes with no backlinks to the citations.
+notelist!+. Notes with no backlinks to the citations, followed by
+ unreferenced notes.
+```
+
+## Tables
+
+
+```textile
+###. Tables are simple to define using the pipe '|' symbol
+
+| A | simple | table | row |
+| And | another | table | row |
+| With an | | empty | cell |
+
+###. Headers are preceded by '|_.'
+|_. First Header |_. Second Header |
+| Content Cell | Content Cell |
+
+###. The <thead> tag is added when |^. above and |-. below the heading are used.
+
+|^.
+|_. First Header |_. Second Header |
+|-.
+| Content Cell | Content Cell |
+| Content Cell | Content Cell |
+
+###. The <tfoot> tag is added when |~. above and |-. below the footer are used.
+
+|~.
+|\2=. A footer, centered & across two columns |
+|-.
+| Content Cell | Content Cell |
+| Content Cell | Content Cell |
+
+###. Attributes are be applied either to individual cells, rows, or to
+the entire table. Cell attributes are placed within each cell:
+
+|a|{color:red}. styled|cell|
+
+###. Row attributes are placed at the beginning of a row,
+followed by a dot and a space:
+
+(rowclass). |a|classy|row|
+
+###. Table attributes are specified by placing the special 'table.' block
+modifier immediately before the table:
+
+table(tableclass).
+|a|classy|table|
+|a|classy|table|
+
+###. Spanning rows and colums:
+A backslash \ is used for a column span:
+
+|\2. spans two cols |
+| col 1 | col 2 |
+
+###. A forward slash / is used for a row span:
+
+|/3. spans 3 rows | row a |
+| row b |
+| row c |
+
+###. Vertical alignments within a table cell:
+
+|^. top alignment|
+|-. middle alignment|
+|~. bottom alignment|
+
+###. Horizontal alignments within a table cell
+
+|:\1. |400|
+|=. center alignment |
+| no alignment |
+|>. right alignment |
+
+```
+or, for the same results
+
+```textile
+Col 1 | Col2 | Col3
+:-- | :-: | --:
+Ugh this is so ugly | make it | stop
+```
+
+
+## Character Conversions
+
+### Registered, Trademark, Copyright Symbols
+
+```textile
+RegisteredTrademark(r), Trademark(tm), Copyright (c)
+```
+
+### Acronyms
+
+```textile
+###. Acronym definitions can be provided in parentheses:
+
+EPA(Environmental Protection Agency) and CDC(Center for Disease Control)
+```
+
+### Angle Brackets and Ampersand
+
+```textile
+### Angled brackets < and > and ampersands & are automatically escaped:
+< => &lt;
+> => &gt;
+& => &amp;
+```
+
+### Ellipses
+
+```textile
+p. Three consecutive periods are translated into ellipses...automatically
+```
+
+### Em and En dashes
+
+```textile
+###. En dashes (short) is a hyphen surrounded by spaces:
+
+This line uses an en dash to separate Oct - Nov 2018.
+
+###. Em dashes (long) are two hyphens with or without spaces:
+
+This is an em dash--used to separate clauses.
+But we can also use it with spaces -- which is a less-used convention.
+That last hyphen between 'less' and 'used' is not converted between words.
+```
+
+## Fractions and other Math Symbols
+
+```textile
+One quarter: (1/4) => ¼
+One half: (1/2) => ½
+Three quarters: (3/4) => ¾
+Degree: (o) => °
+Plus/minus: (+/-) => ±
+```
+### Multiplication/Dimension
+
+```textile
+p. Numbers separated by the letter 'x' translate to the multiplication
+or dimension symbol '×':
+3 x 5 => 3 × 5
+```
+
+### Quotes and Apostrophes
+
+```textile
+###. Straight quotes and apostrophes are automatically converted to
+their curly equivalents:
+
+"these", 'these', and this'n are converted to their HTML entity equivalents.
+Leave them straight using '==' around the text: =="straight quotes"==.
+```
+
+## CSS
+
+```textile
+p{color:blue}. CSS Styles are enclosed in curly braces '{}'
+p(my-class). Classes are enclosed in parenthesis
+p(#my-id). IDs are enclosed in parentheses and prefaced with a pound '#'.
+```
+
+## Spans and Divs
+
+```textile
+%spans% are enclosed in percent symbols
+div. Divs are indicated by the 'div.' shorthand
+```
