TMarqueur is a lightweight yet rich markup language inspired by Markdown and ASCIIdoc and etc.
You can use them to add formating elements to your raw-text documents.
These raw-text documents remain relatively easy and clear to read, and they can be converted to HTML to be displayed in a web browser or in a viewer application.

Markdown is great, but I never understood why * and _ do the same
thing, and why doubling them do something different once converted to HTML ...
Surrounding text using _underscores_ looks like underlining it, so why should
it be interpreted as _italic_ and __bold__ ?
The idea that led to TMarqueur is that the basic formating elements should mean what they look like to mean.
For instance : __underscore__ should mean underlined.
From there, I extended the formating elements as much as I could to make it as rich as possible.
The formatting elements are more numerous, and try to be more consistent in regard to their appearance in raw-text and HTML once rendered.
Basic formatting elements must be doubled **like that**, and block
elements must be at least quadrupled.
Indented text is not implicitely interpreted as a code block. If you want a code block, you must be explicit and put your code sample inside a code block (equivalent to Markdown's fenced code block).
Titles (headings) are formated using different markers :
## for <h1>== for <h2>++ for <h3>-- for <h4>Indented titles will be converted to centered title in HTML.
Titles can be multiline, can be centered and can be surrounded in different decorative manners in raw-text mode.
You can't mix HTML code with TMarqueur. Characters < and > are rendered
to their HTML entities equivalents. If you want to include custom HTML code inside
your TMarqueur document, you may use the HTML div block.
Tables are supported through an extension and must be "drawn" inside a code block.
