Texy Basics

Texy allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, which then converts to valid HTML for viewing in browser.

Paragraphs

Paragraphs in Texy are just one or more lines of consecutive text followed by one or more blank lines.

Headings

You can create a heading by creating underline from three or more *, = or - symbols after your heading text.

Styling text

You can make text bold or italic.

Use single backticks to format text in a special monospace format. Everything within the backticks appear as-is, with no other special formatting. Example: **not bold** words.

Links

Nested lists

You can create nested lists by indenting list items by two spaces or tabs.

   2. Yet another point to consider.
2. Item 2
   • A corollary that does not need to be ordered.
     • This is indented four spaces, because it's two spaces further than the item above.
