-
-<p>Maruku introduces a new syntax for attaching metadata to paragraphs, tables, and so on.</p>
-
-<p>For example, consider the creation of two paragraphs:</p>
-
-<pre><code>Paragraph 1 is a warning.
-
-Paragraph 2
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>Now you really want to attach a &apos;class&apos; attribute to the paragraphs (for example for CSS styling). Maruku allows you to use:</p>
-
-<pre><code>@ class: warning
-Paragraph 1 is a warning
-
-Paragraph 2
-
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>You can add more by separating with a <code>;</code>:</p>
-
-<pre><code>@ class: warning; id: warning1
-Paragraph 1 is a warning
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>A meta-data declaration is composed of </p>
-
-<ol>
-<li>newline</li>
-
-<li>an at-symbol <code>@</code></li>
-
-<li>a series of name-value pairs. Each name-value is separated by a colon <code>:</code>, pairs are separated by semi-colons <code>;</code> </li>
-</ol>
-
-<p>Many declaration can be used, and they refer to <em>the following</em> object:</p>
-
-<pre><code>@ class: warning
-@ id: warning1
-Paragraph 1 is a warning
-</code></pre>
-
-<p>These can also be separated by newlines:</p>
-
-<pre><code>@ class: warning
-
-@ id: warning1
-
-Paragraph 1 is a warning
-
-</code></pre>
-
-<h3 id='shortcuts'><span class='maruku_section_number'>6.3. </span>Shortcuts</h3>
