Finalizing Neopolitan Shorthands

The Current Mix

Neopolitan¹ includes "shorthands" that can be used for a few common use cases. The current set is:

<<tag|some text|class: red>>

``code snippet|language``

^^footnote-id^^

**strong text**

__emphasis text__

~~deleted text~~

((inserted text))

{{image-name.jpg|alt: text description}}

[[link text|https://www.example.com/|target: _blank]]

The Tags

The <<tag>> shorthand

I've got a few other tokens I can play with. But, I'm wary of increasing complexity². Unless someone comes up with a compelling case for an addition, this is probably it.

-a

-- end of line --

Neopolitan - A Plain-Text File Format

The file format I've been working on for the past few years. I've used it long enough that I'm ready to publish it for real. Just gotta wrap up the documentation and reference static site generator.

Not so much the complexity of parsing. It would be trivial to add other tokens. I'm more worried about increasing the number of things you have to remember.
