!! Introduction

The DefaultMarkup is a markup template allowing to create new markups at low implementation workload. Further, the use of this template asserts a consistent structure of all markups leading to a unified look and feel of the system, considering syntax, rendering, and editing support. 

This page describes the DefaultMarkup in general. An instructional page describing how to actually create a new markup based on the DefaultMarkup can be found here: [How-To-Markup]

!! Syntactical Structure

A DefaultMarkup section always is introduced by two percent-signs (~%%)followed by the specific keyword of the markup.

! Multi-line markup

A DefaultMarkup section as multiple lines is terminated by another percent-sign (~%). 
{{{
%%<keyword> 
<content>
%
}}}

! Single line markup
DefaultMarkup blocks can also be defined in a single line. Then no trailing sign is required and the block is terminated by the line-break.
{{{
%%<keyword> <content>
}}}



!! Annotations
Additionally to the content, also markup specific parameters can be specified.
An annotation parameter is always state at the end of the markup block and is introduced by '@'.
Each markup implementation defines which annotations can be specified. More details about how to specify this can be found here: [How-To-Markup] 

A DefaultMarkup section as multiple lines is terminated by another percent-sign (~%). 
{{{
%%<keyword> 
<content>
@<annotation-name>: <value>
%
}}}

! Single line markup
DefaultMarkup blocks can also be defined in a single line. Then no trailing sign is required and the block is terminated by the line-break.
{{{
%%<keyword> <content> @<annotation-name>: <value>
}}}


!! Autocompletion

For an implementation of each DefaultMarkup basic autocompletion functionality is provided automatically.
After typing ''%%'' the completion menu is shown by pressing ''Cmd+space'' as shown in the following screenshot. For each markup also an overview about the available annotations with the respective value range is shown.
