-##### The figure fence
+##### Captions and numbered references
 
-`:::figure {#anchor .border}` declares what it numbers and, optionally,
-captions: the fence is the unit the counter counts, not the caption text it
-may or may not carry.
+Write a caption on its own line **before** the item it describes, with a blank line before and after the caption. `:` produces an unnumbered caption; `:@` produces a numbered caption. One or more spaces separate the marker from its text. An optional attribute block at the end accepts an identifier, classes and named attributes:
 
-````markdown
-:::figure {#trade}
+```markdown
+:@ Regional trade routes {#trade .border type=table}
 
-```sql
-SELECT name.full AS "Market" FROM notes WHERE type = 'place'
+| Route | Days |
+| ----- | ---- |
+| North | 4    |
+
+Refer to {{ref "#trade"}} for the market routes.
 ```
 
-///
-Regional trade routes
-:::
+This displays **Table 1: Regional trade routes**; the reference links to **Table 1**. An unnumbered `: Regional trade routes {#trade}` displays only its text, has an anchor, and does not consume a number. An item with no caption remains unnumbered.
 
-Refer to {{ref "#trade"}} for the market routes.
-````
+The caption attaches to exactly the next supported block:
+
+| Next item                            | Inferred type | Numbered label |
+| ------------------------------------ | ------------- | -------------- |
+| Markdown table                       | `table`       | Table          |

+| Paragraph, quote block or fenced div | `prose`       | Prose          |
+
+The optional `type` attribute overrides inference and accepts `figure`, `table`, `poetry`, `code`, `prose`, and `example`. `type=example` uses **Example 1**, **Example 2**, and so on. It does not allow an unsupported target. A heading, list, thematic break, another caption or end of document after a caption is an error. Caption markers without separating spaces or caption text are errors too.
+
+Identifiers are optional and must be unique within the note. Classes are unrestricted; `.border` uses the shared border style, while other classes can be styled by the medium. Named attributes use `key=value`, with quoted values for text containing spaces. Use `#id` and `.class` rather than `id=` and `class=`; event-handler attributes are refused.
+
+Each numbered type has its own counter. Websites and Foundry number within a note; books number across their reading order. Unnumbered captions neither display nor consume a number. A map image can retain its asset-derived **Map** classification when no type is specified.
 
-The fence displays **Table 1: Regional trade routes** and `{{ref "#trade"}}`
-displays **Table 1** as a link.
-
-**The grammar.** `:::figure` opens the fence, on a line of its own and
-optionally followed by a braced attribute block in the grammar a heading and
-a named block take too. A line of `:::` alone closes it. Between the
-two, the first `///` written alone on a line, read at the top level — outside
-any nested code or poetry fence — divides what the fence holds from its caption; a `///`
-written inside a nested fence is content, not a divider. A second top-level
-`///` is an error, naming the line: a figure holds one caption, so it carries
-one `///` line.
-
-An opening line that is not `:::figure`, optionally followed by one braced
-attribute block and nothing else, is reported at its own line as
-`a figure's attributes are written as {#id .border}`.
-
-**Every part but the fence itself is optional.**
-
-- **No `{#id}`.** The fence is still numbered and drawn; it carries no anchor,
-  so nothing can address it. An id, when written, must be a name unique within
-  the note — a repeat is `duplicate figure id "<id>"` at the fence's opening
-  line, and an id that collides with a heading anchor in the same note is
-  `heading and figure declare the same anchor "<id>"` at the heading's line.
-- **No `///`.** The fence draws its label alone, with no caption beneath it. A
-  `///` with nothing after it before the closing `:::` is an error at the
-  `///` line: a figure's `///` section carries no caption — write no `///` to
-  leave the figure uncaptioned.
-- **No `.border`.** The fence draws without one. `.border` is the only class
-  the construct declares; any other class is reported at the opening line,
-  naming it: a figure takes no such class, and the classes a figure takes
-  are `.border`. A `key="value"` attribute is reported the same way, naming
-  the key: a figure takes an id and classes, nothing else.
-
-**What is never optional.** A fence with nothing between its opening line and
-its `///` or its closing `:::` is `a figure has no contents`, at the opening
-line. An opening `:::figure` with no matching `:::` runs to the end of the
-note and is `a figure needs a closing :::`, also at the opening line, and
-nothing after it is scanned as a second fence.
-
-**The counter is derived, never authored.** The fence's contents decide which
-of six counters it draws from — `Code`, `Table`, `Figure`, `Map`, `Poem`, `Prose` — read from
-the first top-level block inside the fence: a table is `Table`; a fenced `sql`
-block is `Table`, because its rendered output is one; any other fenced or
-indented code block is `Code`; one or more pictures and nothing else is
-`Figure`; a `:::poetry` fence as the first nonblank content is `Poem`; everything else is `Prose`. A poem, table or picture written outside any
-`:::figure` fence draws no label and is counted nowhere. The website and a
-Foundry journal number each counter within the note; the book numbers each
-counter across the book in reading order.
-
-**A heading that would start its own journal page cannot be written inside a
-fence.** An H1, or a heading at any level carrying an `{#anchor}`, is reported
-at its own line inside one: `a heading that starts a page cannot be written
-inside a figure — keep an H1 or an anchored heading at the top level, or drop
-the anchor and the level to stay inside it`.
-
-**The `ref` expression renders a link to a figure's anchor.**
-`{{ref "#thorn"}}` renders "Figure 13"; `{{ref "#thorn" form="full"}}` renders
-the number and the caption; `{{ref "#thorn" form="title"}}` renders the
-caption alone. `form="number"` is the default and may be written explicitly;
-a `form` outside this closed set is reported naming the three. A link written
-inside the figure's own caption contributes only its label text to a `full`
-or `title` reference, because the reference is itself a link, and emphasis
-inside the caption is kept. `form="full"` or `form="title"` aimed at a figure
-with no caption is reported naming the anchor: that form needs a caption, and
-the figure has none. An address naming no figure in the note is reported
-naming the anchor; an address naming another note's figure —
-`{{ref "other-note#anchor"}}` — is reported as addressing a figure this build
-does not resolve outside the note carrying the reference. Only a same-note
-anchor resolves, on the website and in the book.
-
-Foundry gives a `:::figure` fence its own JournalEntryPage. A fence holding
-exactly one picture, captioned in plain text with nothing else — or carrying
-no caption at all — becomes a page of type `image`: the picture is its `src`,
-a caption, when there is one, is `image.caption`, and the page is named for
-the figure's own number. Every other fence becomes a page of type `text`
-instead: a fence grouping more than one picture; an embedded sound, there
-being no audio page type; a fence whose caption carries inline markup —
-emphasis, a link, an embedded icon or image — because `image.caption` is a
-`StringField` with nowhere to render it; and a fence that shares its split
-with prose that follows it, because an `image` page has nowhere to carry that
-prose either. On a `text` page the render is the fence's own content, scanned
-and labelled as the first of its kind on that page alone and then corrected to
-the number the note-wide scan already assigned, so a second figure with no id
-is still named for its true, note-wide number rather than recounted from one.
-
-##### Named blocks
-
-`:::secret`, `:::info` and `:::warn` set a passage apart from the prose around
-it. The opener and the closing `:::` each take a whole line, the content is
-Markdown and renders normally, and the fences stay outside code blocks. An
-empty, nested or unclosed block is an error at its opening line, as is a name
-that is not one of the three.
-
-A braced attribute block may follow the name. It takes an id as `#id`, classes
-as `.class`, and any other attribute as `key="value"`. `title` is reserved and
-supplies the heading; without it a block heads itself **Secret**, **Info** or
-**Warn**. A title carries its own emphasis and nothing else — a tag written
-there is escaped. `id=` and `class=` are refused in favour of `#id` and
-`.class`, and an attribute beginning `on` is refused as an event handler.
+`{{ref "#trade"}}` displays the numbered label as a link. `form="full"` includes caption text and `form="title"` displays the caption alone. Use title form for an unnumbered caption. Cross-note references can name the note address before the anchor, such as `{{ref "place-harbor#trade"}}`; the displayed number belongs to the target on the surface rendering it. Links inside caption text contribute their visible text to references, so the reference does not contain a nested link.
+
+Foundry gives a captioned item its own JournalEntryPage. A solitary image with a plain caption can use an image page; captions with inline markup and other items use text pages. On the website and in the book the item stays in the flow of the surrounding page.
+
+**Migration:** `:::figure` is no longer supported. Move the former `///` caption before the item as `:@ Caption {#id}` and remove the figure wrapper. To caption a group or passage, put it inside a generic fenced div and caption that div with an explicit type if needed. `///` is no longer a caption delimiter.
+
+##### Fenced divs
+
+A bare `:::` opens a div section. An optional attribute block applies to the whole fenced area. A bare `:::` closes the section:
 
 ```markdown
-:::info
+::: {#harbor-note .border lang=en}
 The harbor remains open through winter.
-:::
 
-:::warn {#flood-warning title="Seasonal closure"}
-Spring floods close the eastern road.
+A second paragraph belongs to the same div.
 :::
+```
 
-:::secret {#harbor .wide}
-The harbor master is working for the smugglers.
-:::
+An attribute-bearing opener allows a nested div to be distinguished from the bare closer. Divs carry no automatic title or number; style their classes for the medium. Use a leading caption to caption the entire div. The same attribute grammar is available on named blocks; identifiers, classes and named attributes belong to the entire section. Headings that would start a Foundry journal page cannot split a fenced section.
+
+##### Inline spans
+
+`[inline content]` represents a span. Follow it immediately with an optional attribute block to apply an identifier, classes and named attributes:
+
+```markdown
+The watch wears [a _blue_ sash]{#watch-sash .uniform lang=en}.
 ```
 
-The block's name is the first class on the emitted element and the author's
-classes follow it. **No block carries an inline `style`**, so the appearance is
-a stylesheet's. The base stylesheet styles `section.info` and `section.warn`;
-`section.secret` is left to Foundry, which styles it and owns the reveal control
-on it.
+Inline Markdown remains active inside the span. Bracket spans have lower priority than URL links, image links, reference links, footnotes and wikilinks. A bracketed form immediately preceded by `!`, followed by `(` or another `[`, or beginning with `[[` is not a span, even when the link is unresolved. Ordinary links retain their existing syntax. Escape a bracket when it should be literal, or put examples inside a code span or fence. A span identifier addresses that point in the note; it does not start a journal page.
+
+##### Alerts
+
+Alerts replace the former `:::info` and `:::warn` fences. Start with a special blockquote marker, optionally followed by an attribute block, then write the alert body as a standard blockquote:
+
+```markdown
+> [!NOTE]
+> Useful information that users should know, even when skimming content.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> Helpful advice for doing things better or more easily.
 
-In FoundryVTT a block is a section whose first line is its heading, and a
-`secret` is the section Foundry shows to the GM and to owners of the journal:
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Key information users need to know to achieve their goal.
 
-```html
-<section class="secret wide" id="harbor">
-  <strong>Secret</strong><br />
-  <p>The harbor master is working for the smugglers.</p>
-</section>
+> [!WARNING]
+> Urgent info that needs immediate user attention to avoid problems.
 ```
 
-A `secret` that states no id of its own is given one derived from its body, so
-that Foundry can remember the section once a reader reveals it.
+| Marker         | Label     | Appearance                                        |
+| -------------- | --------- | ------------------------------------------------- |

+| `[!TIP]`       | Tip       | Green rule and `fa-regular fa-lightbulb`          |
+| `[!IMPORTANT]` | Important | Purple rule and `fa-solid fa-circle-info`         |
+| `[!WARNING]`   | Warning   | Amber rule and `fa-solid fa-triangle-exclamation` |
 
-On webpages a block is a disclosure any reader can open, titled in its summary:
+The label and icon sit above the body. Alerts are visible callouts, not expandable sections. Inline Markdown, links, multiple paragraphs, lists and code examples remain available inside the quote. Prefix blank lines within the body with `>` to keep paragraphs in the same alert.
 
-```html
-<details class="secret wide" id="harbor">
-  <summary class="secret">Secret</summary>
-  <p>The harbor master is working for the smugglers.</p>
-</details>
+Attributes follow the marker and apply to the alert:
+
+```markdown
+> [!WARNING] {#flood-warning .seasonal lang=en title="Seasonal closure"}
+> The eastern road closes during spring floods.
+>
+> Use the ridge path instead.
 ```
 
-In a book each block is a coloured box headed by its title. A printed page has
-no reader permissions and no interactive disclosure control, so a `secret` is
-visible there.
+Use `#id`, `.class` and named attributes in the shared braced grammar. The marker determines the default label, icon and color. An authored `title` replaces the default **Note**, **Tip**, **Important** or **Warning** heading while preserving the alert type’s icon and color. Event-handler attributes, malformed attributes, unknown alert types and empty alert bodies are errors. Ordinary blockquotes and alert examples inside literal code remain unchanged. A leading caption can describe an alert as a quote block, normally with the `prose` type or an explicit `example` type.
 
-**A secret is a presentation distinction and not access control.** It is in the
-same authored note as the prose around it, and a reader who inspects source or
-generated output may see it.
+Migrate former info blocks to `[!NOTE]` alerts and warn blocks to `[!WARNING]` alerts. The old named fences are errors. `:::secret` remains supported.
 
-**A malformed block does not silence the blocks around it.** It is reported at
-its own line and left as the author wrote it, and every well-formed block in the
-note still renders.
+##### Secret blocks
+
+`:::secret` sets GM material apart. Its optional attributes accept an identifier, classes and named attributes. `title` supplies its heading; without a title the heading is **Secret**:
+
+```markdown
+:::secret {#harbor-secret title="For the GM"}
+The harbor master is working for the smugglers.
+:::
+```
+
+A secret block can contain alerts and general divs. It cannot contain another secret block. A heading that starts its own journal page cannot split a secret block or general div; use a lower heading without an anchor within the section.
+
+Foundry renders a secret section; the website renders an expandable spoiler, and the book renders a labeled box. An untitled secret takes its normal default title, and a Foundry secret without an id receives an id derived from its body. The presentation does not make published HTML private: deliberately inspecting generated source can reveal its content. Use YAML comments for information that must never be published.

+A place may state its governing affiliation in `data.government`. The field type is `Address`, with `affiliation` as the default target type when the type is omitted. Use either a local shortcode or a fully qualified affiliation Address from this package or a fetched dependency:
+
+```yaml
+data:
+  population: 1200
+  government: crown
+```
 
-- `contains` — every place whose `parents` names this one, sorted by
-  `subType` then `title`. A region lists its settlements, sites, structures
-  and features; a settlement lists the structures within it.
-- `held_by` — every affiliation whose `domains` names this one, sorted by
-  `title`.
+Write `government: null` for **complete anarchy**. Omitting the key leaves government unspecified. Null is retained in published metadata and displayed as “Complete anarchy” in website, Foundry and book infoboxes; an omitted key has no Government row. A reference displays a link to the governing affiliation.
 
-Both are derived; a note that writes one has it replaced. **`domains` is

-a settlement within that region lists only the house or order whose `domains`
