JTX Markup Format

JTX files support a minimal amount of formatting that will carry over when the HTML notebook pages are produced. (The JTX file for this page is called "format.jtx.")

The horizontal line above is one example. It was produced by a row of hyphens (-----------) on a line by itself.

-----------------------------------------

Paragraphs are separated by blank lines.
Jrju will combine any group of non-blank lines into a single paragraph.
Each sentance in this paragraph was on a line by itself in the original JTX file.

	A series of lines
	indented with tabs
	will become an
	HTML list.

Lines that end with^
the caret (^) character^
will not be combined^
into a single paragraph.

Bits of text that begin and end with the _underscore character_ will be italic.

Bits of text that begin and end with the *star character* will be bold.

Bits of text that _*have both of the above*_ will be bold italics.

Hypertext links within the notebook are handled automatically by Jrju.

Raw URLs (http://medinfo.ufl.edu/) and email addresses (rrathe@ufl.edu) will be linked automatically.

Pictures (pict.gif) may be added just by including their names in the text (GIF or JPG). Jrju expects them to be in the extras directory.

"The Wall" yampa.jpg on the Yampa River.

Special alignment modifiers are available for pictures that occur at the beginning of a paragraph:

	$ center
	> float right
	< float left

These modifiers *must* be the first character on the line.

$yampa.jpg "The Wall" on the Yampa River. (Centered)

>yampa.jpg "The Wall" on the Yampa River. This image will float right and text will wrap around it on the left. The cliff in this picture rises almost 2000 feet above the Yampa River in northwestern Colorado.
