B
marks text as bold. No options, but a mandatory tag body.
C
marks text as code. No options, but a mandatory tag body.
F
This is a generalized font tag, introduced by pp2html and made generally available. It sets up the formatting of a selected text. Traditionally, these are font settings like text color and font size, but there can be more formattings.
Both options and body are mandatory.
Please note that this tag is fairly general. Accepted options and their meaning are defined by the converters, but there are conventions that make documents portable between converters.
So, by convention, options color and size set up the color and font size of the selected text, in the tradition and argument syntax of HTML.
A \F{color=red}<red> colored text.
FORMAT
is a container tag to configure result formatting. Configuration settings are received via tag options and are intended to remain valid until another modification. For example, one may set the default text color of examples to green. This would remain valid until the next text color setting.
Please note that this tag is very general. Accepted options and their meaning are defined by the converters. Nevertheless, certain settings are commonly used by convention.
If used as the only contents of a text paragraph the paragraph wrapper will be removed from the stream and the tag is streamed standalone.
HIDE
hides everything in its body. Makes most sense when used with a tag condition.
If used as the only contents of a text paragraph the paragraph wrapper will be removed from the stream and the tag is streamed standalone.
I
marks text as italic. No options, but a mandatory tag body.
IMAGE
includes an image. No tag body, but a mandatory option "src" to pass the image file, and an optional option "alt" to store text alternatively to be displayed. The option set is open - there can be more options but they will not be checked by the parser. If alt is not set it defaults to an empty string (added automatically).
The image source file name will be supplied absolutely in the stream.
If used as the only contents of a text paragraph the paragraph wrapper will be removed from the stream and the tag is streamed standalone.
INDEX
Generates an index listing all keywords collected via X. Index formatting is up to the converters.
If used as the only contents of a text paragraph the paragraph wrapper will be removed from the stream and the tag is streamed standalone.
INDEXCLOUD
Generates a "cloud" of the index entries. The term is inspired by the "tag clouds" which became popular in the Internet, but the final formatting might be different, as it is up to the converters. Not all target formats might have features to present a cloud, but finally one should get a kind of a ranking that shows which index entries were used frequently.
If used as the only contents of a text paragraph the paragraph wrapper will be removed from the stream and the tag is streamed standalone.
