Silva Document
Silva Document is an extension to Silva allowing to create structured
documents. Silva Document formerly was part of Silva core and was factored
out for the 0.9.3 release.
Editing
The paragraphs of a Silva Document can contain markup like strong, emphasis
or underline. When entering a paragraph with the forms based editor this
markup needs to be represendted by some form text. Details about possible
markup can be found in the Silva documentation[1].
From Silva 0.9.2 to 0.9.3 the text markup parser has been rewritten -- it
tries to be smart now.
Escaping
The intermediate solution of escaping potential markup characters
with entities has been replaced by a more sophistiaced escaping
mechanism. The backslash '\' is used as escaping character now:
A **strong** text is marked up as \**strong\** in Silva.
In many cases it is not possible to escape manually. The parser
will escape anything implicitly which cannot be interpreted as
markup, a so called conceptual escape:
Now even a ***** (bold asterisk) is possible, or ****** two.
But note that, once saved, all conceptual escapes will be explicit
escapes in the edit box. This means
our ****** two blod asterisks
becomes
our **\**** tow bold asterisks
if saved.
Links
Links are automatically recognised and converted to a link element.
Indexs
Indexes do not have the `index text' part. It just [[index entry]] now.
License
Silva Document is released under the BSD license. See 'LICENSE.txt'.
