Ocean-flavored Markdown (OFM)

Markdown is a widely-used convention for writing for the web, useful because it is easy and quick to write and creates a readable text document that converts well to HTML. The Markdown website has a good introduction for people who may find it unfamiliar. Ocean-flavored Markdown is an extension of this syntax designed to support literature. The specification is detailed at spec.md.
