| README for VP8 Bitstream Guide |
| ============================== |
| |
| History (June 2010) |
| ------------------- |
| This document has had a very limited audience for most of its life. |
| As VP8 is now an open-source project, the document is expected to |
| undergo very significant change. |
| |
| Format (September 2010) |
| ------ |
| The complete document is composed of individual text files for each |
| section, concatenated in filename order. |
| |
| The text source is designed for transformation to HTML via Markdown [1], |
| and uses the syntax extensions supported by PHP Markdown Extra [2] as |
| implemented by kramdown [3]. |
| |
| kramdown 0.10.0 is the recommended text-to-HTML transformer. PDFs may be |
| generated one-off using PrinceXML [4]. |
| |
| MathML |
| ------ |
| The text source also includes some block-level and span-level MathML |
| expressions, written in ASCIIMathML syntax [5]. The standard delimiter |
| for ASCIIMathML expressions is the backtick (`), which unfortunately is |
| reserved by Markdown, so an alternate delimiter of double square |
| brackets (plus one space) is used: |
| |
| This sentence includes a math expression, [[ sin^-1(x) ]], |
| delimited with double square brackets plus a one-space buffer. |
