-L-
$FTP$/directory/file
[-l-]

'Link' sections display a hypertext link in the HTML version,
whereas in the text version the link is only described in words
rather than a real hyperlink, embraced by text. In order to allow
flexibility, the file JAM.LNK in the same directory as the MASTER
file for jam will allow to define paths embraced by $ characters.
The -l- is optional as the file reference will always be processed
after -L-. example:
---------------------
Reference:

This is the same result as

The second link did not inherit the -l-.
Line Breaks and Paragraphs

_____________________
The three dashes indicate that the current line enforces
a line break. Line breaks may not be accumulated in LATEX and
HTML due to the specific behaviour of these formats. Appearance:
---------------------

Page Break
Format
_____________________
This command will cause a page break like this one:
===
This is the line after the page break.

This command will cause a page break like this one:
This is the line after the page break.
Figure legends are not currently implemented. In LATEX and RTF,
a reference to the figure may be inserted, which points to the
figure in question, which is appended at the end of the current
chapter.
Items and Lists of Items
Format:
_____________________
-I-
o (item here)
-i-
_____________________
'Itemised' sections do not honour carriage returns and
allow a line break only after a new item. An Item is anything
behind the 'o' character, such as this:
---------------------
---------------------
Note that, in the RTF code, the no item bullets are shown,
depending on the version of word processor employed.
Structuring Statements
Structuring statements are processed after the conditional
and formatting statements and are automatically numbered. The
text structure is in three levels. Chapters, Sections, and Headlines
are implemented using asterisks embraced in dashes:
* is a Chapter
-*- is a Section
-**- is a Subsection
Referencing Statements
The purpose of referencing statements is to allow indexing
and transparent reference insertion. The items as listed in
the following table are allowed. The selection of the behaviour
at run-time will decide in HTML mode whether links will be addressed
or not.
NOTE: As JAMF will interpret links if they occur in verbatim
mode, the following displays the pipe character (|) as colon
(:). This is for didactic purposes only.
Type Symbol Expansion to
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Index entry #:test1:# entry in index
Reference point +:test2:+ bold face word being referenced
Hint to reference *:test2:test3:* (virtual|real) hypertext link
HASSLE receptor [:test4:test5:] (virtual|real) hypertext link
if 'jam' is configured
as such, HTML link to reflector,
otherwise only emphasised.
In order to have the hypertext links processed accordingly (as
in the example test2/3), an item like +:test2:+
must be buried in the text.
Again, we buried the | by colons (:) in this example for getting
it JAMF neutral.
The following table shows the text and how it will be interpreted.
The > and < characters embrace where the expression was
located before. Note that, as above, the first column uses colons
rather than pipes to avoid JAMF processing.
#:test1:# will become > <
+:test2:+ will become ><
*:test2:test3:* will become > test3 <
[:test4:test5:] will become > test5 <
