description	A text-based format for prototyping simple web forms and pages.

We frequently want to quickly prototype forms in order to collaborate on the copywriting of the form. For example, pasting it into a Google Doc in order to revise it.

The format is intended for quick back and forth between a rendered HTML form and a textual representation. Because the focus is on copywriting, the format is not intended to extensively capture layout or complex design elements.

• ## Heading is card heading, which sometimes can function as the label for a simple card
• Text text text is text
• **Label** represents a label or legend
• _________ represents an input
• Help text is text placed between a label and an input
• [ ] is a checkbox
• ( ) is a radio button
• { Button } is a button
• Dropdowns look like:

  [Select an option]
  [Option 1]
  [Option 2]
