Take tables for example: Textile offers an easy way to create them, but things may get dirty when you need to have multiple paragraphs or lists within cells.</p> <p>Very early versions of Glyph used to offered some simple <code>table</code>, <code>tr</code>, <code>tr</code>, <code>td</code> macros just for that. Of course the problem was that thy didn't offer any way to customize the markup by adding, for example, CSS classes.</p> <p>Instead, by default, Glyph can convert any unrecognized macro to the corresponding XML element and macro attributes to XML attributes.</p> <aside class="box"> <div class="box-title">Example</div> <p> The following Glyph code: </p> <div class="CodeRay"> <div

<aside class="important"> <span class="note-title">Important</span>While macro names and attributes are validated so that an error is returned if they contain illegal character, no check is performed
