Squarks

Last updated 2025 November 21


Singleton Squarks

Singleton squarks appear as a standalone squark, indicating some kind of flag or providing data.

Currently, the only existing singleton squark is the critical squark charm, but this may change in future.

Squark Charm

See Squark Charm.


Twin Squarks

Twin squarks always appear in pairs, with a <!-- #SQUARK squark? --> to open the block and <!-- #SQUARK squark. --> to close it.

only

<!-- # SQUARK only?

This text will only appear in the rendered output.

     # SQUARK only. -->

Text wrapped in only squarks isn’t displayed in Markdown (since it’s commented out), but will be present in the final rendered output. (During squarkup, the squarks are removed, and the text inside is processed.)

leave

Text wrapped in leave squarks isn’t processed by Squarkdown. It will still appear in the rendered output, it just won’t have any processing applied to it.

slash

Text wrapped in slash squarks is removed from the rendered output.

You can use this for content specific to the Markdown version of your document.

TIP

You can create a Markdown-version and web-version of some text by using both the slash and only squarks – wrap the Markdown-only content in slash, and the web-only content in only.


Anchor Squarks

Anchor squarks are special kinds of singleton squarks that provide an ‘anchor’ indicating where Squarkdown should inject content.
