Ui is a markup language inspired by vi.
Unlike most markup languages, such as XML, HTML and Markdown, Ui is not based on "wrapping". Instead, Ui uses vi-like commands and movements to mark up portions of text.
Following are a few comparisons between Ui and other markup languages.
\; Ui <!-- Markdown --> Lorem ipsum\i2b dolor *Lorem ipsum* dolor \b$sit amet. **sit amet.**
\; Ui <!-- HTML --> \p} <p> Lorem ipsum dolor Lorem ipsum dolor sit \uwamet. sit <u>amet</u>. </p>
In Ui, markup requests begin with a backslash, followed by a
command and a movement. Above are examples of the commands
i, b, p and u. Additionally, a number of movements were
used:
2b: previous two words
$: until end of line
}: until end of next paragraph
w: next word
