+SML - STAGE Markup Language help[break][break]
+SML has two types of tags, unary tags stand on their own and are fenced by
+square brackets like \[break].  Putting a \[braek] in anywhere will add a
+paragraph break.  This is the only way to insert a newline manually, as SML will
+reformat your text to fit the available space automatically.
+[break]
+There are also binary tags, which contain text and let you change the formatting
+in a variety of ways.  For example, you can set the [yellow>color of some
+text<yellow].  Binary tags start with \[tagname> and end with \<tagname].
+[break][break]
+Color tags:[break]
+\[green>[green>Green<green]\<green] [break]
+\[red>[red>Red<red]\<red] [break]
+\[yellow>[yellow>Yellow<yellow]\<yellow] [break]
+\[blue>[blue>Blue<blue]\<blue] [break]
+\[magenta>[magenta>Magenta<magenta]\<magenta] [break]
+\[cyan>[cyan>Cyan<cyan]\<cyan] [break]
+\[white>[white>White<white]\<white]
