 - There is only one way to do any type of formatting
 - Hard line breaks are real, not imaginary
-- Most formatting does not cross line boundaries (literal blocks are an
-  exception)
-- Parseable with a context-free grammar
-- Inline formatting control characters must be surrounded by white-space
+- Inline formatting control characters must be surrounded by space, newline, or
+  common punctuation
 
 A core feature of the format is *linking*. That is, references to other tasks
 utilizing wiki-link style links: `[[]]`. The content within the link is mapped
 to the local workspace if the `tsk-` prefix is used, or a mapped non-local
 workspace if another prefix is used. These mappings are specified using a text
 file within the .tsk folder.

+A quick overview of the format:
+
+!Bolded! text is surrounded by exclamation marks (!)
+*Italicized* text is surrouneded by single asterists (*)
+_Underlined_ text is surrounded by underscores (_)
+~Strikenthrough~ text is surrounded by tildes (~)
+
+Links like in Markdown, along with the wiki-style links documented above.
