Formatting Leges

Leges, edicta and similar documents need special treatment.

Special class "scriptum" marks special text.

The actual text of leges (and edicta) should not be subject to edits. This text is marked in this Wiki by containing it in a "division" that gives it a special color and border. The division uses a class called "scriptum. Here is an example:

<div class="scriptum">
Text that we want to mark as unchangable.
</div>

Text that we want to mark as unchangable.

Using the colon indent

Use a colon at the beginning of a line to indent a line or paragraph.

A normal line of text.
:A line of text with a colon in the first position.
::Use additional colons to create deeper nests of indents.

A normal line of text.

A line of text with a colon in the first position.
Use additional colons to create deeper nests of indents.

Do not use colons in an arbitrary manner! Colons are not a page decoration tool. A two-colon-indent element should be contained only in a one-colon-indent element.
