H1: Attributes

H2: Introduction

Attributes can be used to specify custom formatting, hypertext
targets and jumps, indexing information, etc.
For example:

E:  Note[label='Important: ';size="16pt"]
E:  Life is too short to drink bad wine.

The result is:

Note[label='Important: ';size="16pt"]
Life is too short to drink bad wine.


H2: Syntax

Paragraphs and phrases can be given attributes via
the syntax below:

E:  style"["attributes"]" text

where the syntax of {{attributes}} is:

E:  name1["="expression1]";" name2["="expression2] ...

If an attribute name is given without a value, the default value is 1.
Like style names, attribute names are:

* sequences of letters, digits and "_"
* case-sensitive.


H2: Commonly used attributes

Some commonly used attributes are given below.

!block table; groups
Name            Purpose
Paragraphs:
label           prefix label (e.g. Note:)
notoc           take this heading out of the table of contents
Phrases:
id              hypertext target tag
jump            URL (Uniform Resource Locator) to jump to
!endblock

#Unlike style names, attribute names can be prefixed by a target name.
#These target-specific attributes (e.g. mif.FontSize above) permit
#tuning of the output for different targets.
