Attached is the text file and an HTML file showing how it looks rendered by an RsT processor.
This format is nearly as easy to type and read in plain text as the original plain text version, uses only standard RsT features, and is very readable when rendered to HTML. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.

.. this is a comment line, using the RsT line comment marker.
.. Keywords are delineated with colons(:).
.. :order of these keyword entries is not important.
.. :cite: for citations to published sources
.. :url: for URLs to relevant web pages.
.. :rel: for relations to other zettels.
.. :child: id of child zettel.
.. :time: 1830
.. Body of note is not introduced by any identifier.
.. All data items are optional.
This format is basically the same as Format 2, except that the keyword lines
start with a colon (:). RsT automatically renders them in a nicely readable
way. Also, comments are delineated using the RsT comment marker ("..").
Note that Markdown does not have a convenient syntax for the inline keyword
lines or for comment lines. This makes me think that Restructured Text is the
best way to go for zettels.
**Pros**: Uses only standard RsT syntax.
**Cons**: *Slightly* more typing for the keywords and comments, compared with
plain text format version.
