VEST stands for Virtual Explorer Structured Text.

VEST is a mix of Wiki and TeX style markup, and is designed to be fast and easy to use.

Introduction

This is a sample document.

It demonstrates basic VEAPS functionality.

Basics

All whitespace is ignored.

Each newline denotes a new paragraph.

Headings

A heading is denoted by a "+" sign.

The level of heading is given by the number of plusses.

Each level one heading has its own page.

All text belongs to the heading above it.

A level two heading is denoted with two plusses, like this:

Unique identifiers

Each heading must have a unique identifier.

The unique identifier is placed in braces after the plusses.

The unique identifier may only consist of a-z, with a dot separating the section's "tree".

Another sub-heading

Sub-heading text

Level 3 heading

Up to 6 levels of headings can be used.

Level 4 heading

Example paragraph.

Another level 4 heading

Example paragraph.

Special elements

There are a number of special elements in VEAPS.

Figures

A figure can be added to the document like so:

Figure 1 - An example figure title

An example figure caption.

Second paragraph of figure caption.

The first line (\figure 1 full) starts a figure, gives it an ID of 1, and tells VEAPS there is a fullsize image available.

Equations

An equation can be entered using TeX markup. VEAPS will automatically generate the image.

Equation

Q = q_{0A} + q_{0B} + q_{0C} = -(W_{gb} \cdot t_{sample}) \cdot D \cdot \delta \cdot \left [ ( \frac{ C_0 - C_A }{ X_A } ) + ( \frac{ C_0 - C_B }{ X_B } ) + ( \frac{ C_0 - C_C }{ X_C } ) \right ]

Lists

A list can be started like so:

  1. sdf

  2. sdf

  3. sdf

  4. sdf

The first parameter denotes the type of list (itemized or ordered) and the second parameter denotes the numeration (loweralpha or numeric).
