Generic directives/plugins syntax

Extensions

The reasoning for the different braces is that:

  • () contains a simple string that the directive is free to interpret and serves as kind of the default argument (usually a URL or other identifier), and
  • {} contains generic attributes (i.e. key-value pairs similar to what in some programming languages are called named arguments) that might also be passed on directly to the HTML element, e.g. @video[title](filename.mp4){autoplay=1}. And {#myId .myClass} are simply shortcuts for {id=myId class=myClass} — this syntax is taken from Pandoc.

I’m not sure I get your @style proposal, could you make an example for the generated HTML? If it’s <span class="important">TODO</span>, that would be [TODO]{.important} in my proposal (see the very first code block above).
