-    #   SpecBook Specification Format
-
-    A specification consists of Markdown *artifact* files, each carrying a
-    frontmatter with \`Created:\` and \`Modified:\` timestamps (format
-    \`yyyy-LL-dd HH:mm\`) and a tree of *objects*. Every object has a *kind*,
-    a *name*, a unique anchor *id*, optional *properties* (key/value pairs),
-    an optional *description* statement with an optional rationale, and
-    optional *child* objects. Two concrete syntaxes exist:
-
-    ##  Complex Format (used on levels 1-3)
-
-    \`\`\`
-    #   <kind>: <name> (<id>)
-
-    -   <key>: <value>
-    -   [...]
-
-    <statement>, BECAUSE <rationale>.
-    \`\`\`
-
-    Level 1 (\`#\`) carries the artifact id in parentheses. Levels 2 (\`##\`)
-    and 3 (\`###\`) instead carry an HTML anchor \`<a id="<id>"></a>\` after
-    the name, where the id uses the artifact id as its prefix.
-
-    ##  Concise Format (used on level 4 and deeper)
-
-    \`\`\`
-    -   <kind>: <name>; <key>: <value>; [...]; <statement>, BECAUSE <rationale>.
-    \`\`\`
-
-    Child objects nest as indented list items below their parent item.
-
-    ##  Primary Marker
-
-    In both formats a literal \`(*)\` directly after the \`<name>\` marks the
-    object as *primary* (e.g. the primary attribute of an entity). It is
-    distinct from an id given as \`(<id>)\` and both may be combined.
-
-    ##  Configured Artifacts
-
-    The following artifacts, object kinds, and properties are configured.
-    Object kinds and property names are *case-sensitive* and must be
-    written exactly as configured. Properties marked \`required\` must be
-    present, and property values must match their given constraint (if
-    any, else any value is allowed): \`/xxx/\` requires a match of the
-    regular expression, \`[[xxx]]\` requires exactly one Wiki-style link
-    reference resolving into the (usually wildcard) reference pattern,
-    \`enum(xxx,yyy)\` requires one of the listed members, \`tags(xxx,yyy)\`
-    requires a comma-separated set of the listed members (each at most
-    once), and \`list(xxx[, ...])\` requires a comma-separated list of
-    items, each matching one of the alternative constraints.
