Paragraphs

%%%% makes a "clear all" linebreak, forcing text below a diagram. [1]

Example: This is standard text

This is level 1 indentation using ;: (semicolon-colon).
And this is level 2 indentation ;;: (semicolon-semicolon-colon).

This is level 1 indentation using > (greater_than).

And this is level 2 indentation. > > (greater_than-greater_than)

  • This is an indented list. > > * (greater_than-greater_than-asterisk)
 This is preformatted text
 using a monospace font
 (each line started with a space).
% Don't make it too wide.

Display Text Formatting Symbols

  1. Place a "!" before the symbol. Eg: B4 (it is typed in as !B4 in edit page), [I am very good!]
  2. But "!" may not work for all symbols. In this case, consider typing the formatting symbol ' or _ 4 times in between the text formatting symbols.

Eg: %%%%, %%TOC%%

 $$ A ko
 $$ . . O X . .
 $$ . O . O X .
 $$ . . O X . .


Diagram lines start with "$$ ". The first line is the title line.

You can also refer to moves with images like "B3 is good" by writing "B3 is good", and in the same way to marked stones: "WS is good" gives "WS is good".

SL Writing Guidelines

You may follow some SL Conventions, but they are less important than your ideas and insights!


[1] Charles: I consistently make that eight per-cents, in order to give a good clearance below diagrams. But I don't know whether that depends on the browser in use (I have IE).

[2] unkx80: Preformatted text do not wrap, so please do not enter long lines in preformatted text.
