Spec clarification: Can notes/headers contain clue markup syntax? #73

Open gwymor opened 3 months ago

gwymor commented 3 months ago

Do notes and headers (such as Title and Description) support the limited clue markup syntax? Should the note This note has {*markup*} be rendered as

This note has markup

or plaintext as

This note has {*markup*}

Hi @gwymor, good questions! The markup is intended to represent the rendered form, as it was on the original medium (though the syntax was selected to make it tolerable and hopefully intuitive in its plaintext form). Metadata does not use markup.
