#Legal MarkdownJS

---

This web-page lets non-programmers create html files (the stuff that webpages are built from) using a few simple commands. The formatting conventions are from something called markdown.

It's much easier than a word processor program to do things like:

1. create numbered lists,
2. links to legal citations,
3. font-size changes, and
4. other formats.

And you can save your document in many different forms by clicking the save button above.

Check out how the citations below become links to the references in the text to the right. All I had to do was type in the citation. See, e.g., 35 USC 112 and D.C. Official Code 2-531.

It also handles outlining! Check this out:

##Table of Contents

l. |xref| Jurisdiction l. Background ll. Statement of Case

ll.Factual Background l. Standard of Review l. Argument l. Conclusion.

So, woohoo!

##Templating

Oh yeah. Did I mention that you can use {{mustache}}? To use it, try setting some customization variables using the dropdown menu above.
