The Homepage of TapirMD

A powerful, next-generation markup language that simplifies content creation.

  • Intuitive Concepts:
    • Character and character sequences.
    • Blocks, lines, and tokens.
    • Atom blocks, predefined container blocks, and base blocks.
  • Simple Syntax:
    • All marks consist of ASCII punctuation characters.
    • Minimizes non-content text to enhance readibilty in source mode.
    • Semantics vary based on composition, reducing unnecessary syntax complexity.
    • Indentations have no semantic meaning.
  • Consistent Syntax:
    • Predefined container block marks typically consist of one punctuation character.
    • Atom container block marks begin with 3+ identical punctuation characters.
    • Most styling marks consist of 2+ identical punctuation characters.
  • Concrete Atom Block Types:
    • Blank blocks.
    • Usual blocks.
    • Header blocks.
    • Seperator blocks.
    • Attribute blocks to set block IDs and classes.
    • Code blocks.
    • Custom (data) blocks for extending TapirMD functionality.
  • Rich Predefined Container Block Types:
    • Lists with nesting support:
      • Ordered lists.
      • Unordered lists.
      • Definition Lists.
      • Tab lists (without JavaScript).
