Saw a flying duck today. Tried to follow. Didn't work.

Syntax

Entry files can be written in Markdown. Additions:

Dialogs

Add a dot in front of the name of a speaker. Additional information can be added in parenthesis:

.Doctor: I'm sorry but you suffer from a terminal illness and have only 10 to live.
.Patient (concerned): What do you mean, 10? 10 what? Months? Weeks?!
.Doctor: Nine.

Dreams

To separate dreams from real events, put them between cloudy separators:

§§§
Once upon a time, there was a tavern…
§§§

Media

Image and video files in the same directory can be included by stating the filename with a leading slash:

/2010-02-02 - 16-05-03.jpg

To embed YouTube videos use the YouTube URL:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wuf3KI76Ds

Comments

Support information that should not be rendered can be put after three slashes:

You'll see me rendered.

///
I'm hidden.

And everything until the end of the file is too.
