Reference

Look up Wenmode’s public rules, generated node types, AST shapes, and default HTML output.

---

This section is split by lookup task so syntax examples, AST shapes, and renderer output stay readable as the rule set grows.

Use these pages after you know which feature you are looking for. If you are still choosing a dialect, start with Presets or Rule matrix.

Each rule entry shows the Markdown input and the AST shape produced by root.to_ast(). The default HTML behavior follows from the built-in renderer for that node type unless the entry says a directive renderer or plugin handler is required.
