== definitions ==

60 column format:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

A Term

  Definition. The indented lines make up the definition.

Another Term

    Another definition. The final line in the definition

    determines the indentation, so this will be indented

    with four spaces.

  A Nested/Indented Term

    Definition.

A Term

  Definition. The indented

  lines make up the

    be indented with four

    spaces.

== literals ==

60 column format:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The fully minimized form is the most convenient form:

  Hello

    literal

      world

In the partially minimized form a paragraph simply ends with

space-double-colon.

  ////////////////////////////////////////

  long un-wrapped line in a literal block

  \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

  This literal block is started with '::',

    the so-called expanded form. The paragraph

      with '::' disappears in the final output.

We can have indented lists:

  - This is an indented list item

  - Another indented list item:

      - A literal block in the middle

            of an indented list.

      (The above is not a list item since we are in the literal block.)

  Literal block with no indentation (apart from

  the two spaces added to all literal blocks).

1. This is an enumerated list (first item).

2. Continuing with the second item.

(1) foo

== options ==

60 column format:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

There is support for simple option lists, but only with long

options:

 -X --exclude filter  an option with a short and long option

                      with an argument

 -I --include         an option with both a short option and

                      a long option

    --all             Output all.

    --both            Output both (this description is quite

                      long).

    --long            Output all day long.

    --par             This option has two paragraphs in its

                      description. This is the first.

                      This is the second.  Blank lines may

                      be omitted between options (as above)

                      or left in (as here).

The next paragraph looks like an option list, but lacks the

two-space marker after the option. It is treated as a normal

paragraph:
