# [Emu rocks](https://emu.rocks)!*

* It's marginally ok
Pros:
* It's free
* It has a funny bird for a mascot
* It has a decent minimalistic theme going on
* You can easily arrange images to the left, right, or center
* It's okay for writing something like a blog post that is very plain
* You can add html like this and it works just fine
Cons:
* It's not that great
* It's not blazing fast
* Markdown is infinitely superior in every way
The concept is you can use the option key (⌥) and letters that are easy to recall:
| Key Combination | Symbol | Description | Example Usage |
|-----------------|--------|-------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------|
| Option-B | ∫ | Bold tagging | `∫bold text∫` → **bold text** |
| Option-I | ˆ | Italicized tagging | `ˆitalicized textˆ` → *italicized text* |
| Option-L | ¬ | Link tagging (with optional title) | `¬link text\|url¬` → [link text](url) |
| | | | `¬link text\|url\|title¬` → [link text](url "title") |
| | | Image tagging (with optional title) | `¬\|url¬` → [image] |
| | | | `¬\|url\|title¬` → [image with title] |
| | | Image tagging placement (and title) | `¬\|url\|title\|^¬` → [center aligned image] |
| | | | `¬\|url\|<¬` → [left aligned image] |
| | | | `¬\|url\|>¬` → [right aligned image] |
You can also surround words with brackets to denote the heading level. Level one headers are centered.
```
[This is a level one header]
[[This is a level two header]]
...
[[[[[[This is a level six header]]]]]]
```
...and curly brackets are used for blockquotes:
```
{This is a blockquote}
{{This is a nested blockquote}}
```
This is what it looks like when you write it:

[[[Emu: Not Your Daddy's Markup Language]]]
Unless you are my son, then it ˆisˆ your markup language. Er, mine.
[[[Ok.. What Is It, Then?]]]
It's ¬a simple opinionated html page generator|https://github.com/ehamiter/emu¬ that lets you write pages that look more or less ∫exactly like this one∫ by using a few common-sense tags. ¬Check out the source that generated this page|https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ehamiter/emu/main/index.emu¬!
[[[We got GPTS For That]]]
Learn more about Emu ¬straight from the emu's mouth, Eddie|https://chat.openai.com/g/g-2x5PhBpwM-eddie-the-emu|He's a GPT!¬. He can help explain what Emu is, what it's useful for, how to hack on it, and so forth.
{Emus are little more than feathered stomachs borne on mighty legs and ruled by a tiny brain. If an emu wants one of your sandwiches, he will get it, and then run away. He cannot help you with your sudoku.
