Biloba STX refsheet

This short document illustrates the most important forms available in Biloba STX. It is most useful if viewed in source form, instead of the rendered output.

Structure

body text is indented 2 blanks relative to its caption

Sub-Section

Sub-Sub-Section

some text

Sub-Sub-Section

again, some text

some text that adds to the body of Sub-Section

Lists

bullet lists introduced with a dash (or o, *, *))

numbered lists introduced with a number (or <number>., <number>) )

Lists may be indented but are not required to be. To add a list directly after a caption, the list has to be indented relative to the body of the section (that is 4 blanks relative to the caption, as the body is already indented 2 blanks)

Example Bullet List

  • item 1
  • item 2
    • subitem 2.1
    • subitem 2.2
  • item 3
  • item 4

Example Numbered List

  1. item 1
  2. item 2
    1. subitem 2.1
    2. subitem 2.2
  3. item 3
  4. item 4

Term/Definition Pairs

Term and its definition are separated by two dashes --.

HTML
HyperText Markup Language
XML
eXtensible Markup Language

Figures

Are created by spontaneous indentation. That is indenting after something not a caption. In order to prevent the line before a figure from becoming a caption, it has to span at least two lines.

#include <stdio.h>
#define S "Hello, Worldn"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  exit(printf(S) == strlen(S) ? 0 : 1);
}

Fig. 1: Simple C Program.

If the first line in a figure starts with a hash sign it is interpreted as the caption for the figure.

Images

Similiar to figures, but you have to add a #type:image line at the top of the figure. The figure's text is the path to the image.

Quotes

The quote must be enclosed in double quotation marks. Quote and Source are separated by two dashes.

Man is not the sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have.
– Jean-Paul Sartre

Inline Formatting

Add emphasis or even stronger emphasis. Sample text is enclosed in two pairs of single quotation marks.

If you have to reflect a correction to text that was entered fehlerhaft incorrectly, enclose the incorrect text in tilde characters ~ and the correct text in underscore characters.
