Minimal Texts.js Sample

This document shows what syntax must be supported in texts.js to be compatible with Markdown (pandoc dialect).

Headings

Subsection Heading

Subsubsection

Text Formatting

You can use emphasis and strong emphasis. Inline code will use monspaced font.

Code blocks use monospaced font as well and preserve line
breaks

Math

Math formulas can be used inside paragraph like \(E=mc^2\) or on a separate line like the following one.

\[ 1+\frac{q^2}{(1-q)}+\frac{q^6}{(1-q)(1-q^2)}+\cdots = \prod_{j=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(1-q^{5j+2})(1-q^{5j+3})}, \quad\quad \text{for $|q|<1$} \]

Footnotes

Footnotes are placed anywhere1 in the source file but appear at the bottom of the page.

Hyperlinks

You can add arbitrary hyperlinks. Link text can differ from it's URL or be the same as the URL: http://www.google.com/.

You can include e-mail links: sheremetyev@gmail.com. Local files can be referenced as well.

Quoting

Quoted text can include only inline text styles.

Headings shouldn’t be used.

Symbol Escaping

No-break space (Unicode U+00A0) will be converted to tilde symbol for TeX.

XeTeX doesn't need TeX ligatures for quotation marks, em-dash and other typographic symbols—they can be ‘used’ “directly”. Euro symbol can be used for as less as €10. Ellipsis… in the text should be a Unicode character.

Should TeX ligatures be ``used''—they will be printed <<as is>>.

TeX special symbols are automatically escaped: %, $, {, }, _, #, &, \, ~, ^.

HTML entites don't have to be escaped: &, <, >.
