Headings and paragraphs

Headings and paragraphs are light bits of their own: [.h] for a heading, [.p] for a paragraph. Each one has its own ID, so an answer can cite a single paragraph and a reader can jump to a single heading.

[.h]
[%4]
[#Rated values]

[.p]
The rated values are given in (+bold)Table 1(-bold).

[.h]
[%4.1]
[##Ratings for type B]

[.p]
[@id: p-4-1-1 ]
Type B is rated at 20 A and 32 A.

Heading levels

The number of # in the title sets the level, from [#…] (level 1) to [#######…] (level 7). A heading has no body and no footer.

Numbers and labels

[%…] is the item: the number or label the original gives the heading, such as 4.1 or Annex A. The heading must read well without it.

Paragraphs

A paragraph bit holds formatted text, with everything Text formatting describes, and a small set of tags. Use [.p] for each paragraph of running text; longer pieces that belong together can stay one [.article].

Instead of titles inside a bit

Earlier bitmark wrote titles inside a bit's text (# Title). Write each heading as an [.h] bit instead: it gets an ID, appears in a table of contents and can be linked and cited on its own.
