Inspire markup language<\/a> is a super easy way to add formatting to text by using special characters around them, so you can define them, such as adding two asterisk marks ** around the text to define it as bold<\/strong>. It drives up your workflow, whether you’re writing a blog or a novel.<\/p>\n

It takes only few minutes to learn. Once you master it, you’ll never want to write in any other way.<\/p>\n

Tutorial<\/h2>\n

To make headers, preface the phrase with hash marks (or use Ctrl+H). The number of hash marks indicates the level of the heading. For example:<\/p>\n

# Header One<\/h1>\n

## Header Two<\/h2>\n

### Header Three<\/h3>\n

To **make a phrase bold**<\/strong>, surround words with two asterisks (or use Ctrl+B).<\/p>\n

To _make a phrase italic_<\/em>, surround words with an underscore (or use Ctrl+I ).<\/p>\n

To mark text for deletion, surround words with double vertical lines ||. because it’s somewhat uncessary. <\/s><\/p>\n

To add comments inline, surround words with ++<\/em> (double plus signs).<\/p>\n

To create an unordered list, preface each item in the list with a “–<\/em>“(minus sign), a “+<\/em>” (plus sign) or a “\u2022<\/em>” (middle dot) and a space:<\/p>\n

– This is
\n+ An example
\n\u2022 Of an unordered list<\/p>\n

To create an ordered list, preface it with numbers:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. This is<\/li>\n
  2. An example<\/li>\n
  3. Of an ordered list<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To create a layered list, preface it with one of the above signs and enter a Tab<\/em> before the signs to create sub layers and sub-sub layers:<\/p>\n

    – Item 1 level 1<\/p>\n

    – Item 1 level 2<\/p>\n

    – Item 2 level 1<\/p>\n

    – Item 2 level 2<\/p>\n

    – Item 3 level 1<\/p>\n

    – Item 3 level 2<\/p>\n

        3. Item 3 level 3 item 3<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Use “Enter<\/em>” to escape the bullet list if you need.<\/p>\n

          If you want to create a block quote<\/em>, like when you want to provide a motto, simply preface the quote with a >, greater than caret.

          \nTo make a divider, type 4 hyphens in a row.<\/p>\n

          ----<\/pre>\n
          Escape Character<\/h2>\n
          Some characters are automatically interpreted as part of the markup formatting. Inserting a backslash before them to indicate they should not be interpreted as format.<\/p>\n
          > A block quote<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
          \\<\/span>> Not a block quote<\/p>\n
          Link, Image and Footnote<\/h2>\n
          To create a link<\/a>, wrap the link text in brackets (or use Ctrl+K).<\/p>\n
          To insert an image, type (img) (or use Ctrl+M).<\/p>\n
          To add a footnote, type (fn) (or use Shift+Ctrl+F).<\/p>\n
          Comment and comment Block<\/h2>\n
          To add a comment, wrap the text you want to add comment to with two plus signs ++.<\/p>\n
          Or you can start a paragraph with two percent signs %% to make it a comment block.<\/p>\n
          Code and Code Block<\/h2>\n
          To mark a part of text as code, warp it with two back quotes ``<\/code>.<\/p>\n
          Start a paragraph with two single quotation marks ''<\/code>, and you’ll get a code block.<\/p>\n
          Raw Source and Raw Source block<\/h2>\n
          Wrap the text with two tildes ~~<\/code> to mark it as raw source.<\/p>\n
          Start a paragraph with two tildes ~~<\/code> to mark the whole paragraph as a raw source block.<\/p>\n
          Tables<\/h2>\n
          To create a table in Inspire, just click\u00a0Markup > Table<\/strong>, or use the shortcut keys\u00a0Shift + Ctrl + T<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
          Then change the table properties on the top right corner, and add your table content in the columns as you need.<\/p>\n
