Features
========

FormalCode focuses on the simplest means of layout, organization, and management, and does not support (or doesn't directly make use of), the
following WordPress elements:
	1. Categories (Tags are used instead)
	2. Pages (No layout mechanism or linking mechanism provided)
	3. Widgets
	4. Sidebar
 
This template includes an automatic FootNote creation script that will extract properly formatted <span> elements from your posts, and insert
them at the end of each post as linked footnotes. This is useful for citations, longer asides, or tangents that would otherwise break the
flow of a post. These footnotes can include any content, except another footnote (the behavior in this case is undefined). For example, in a
post, you could include a footnote like this:

	This is an example string in a longer post, but I had another idea<span class="footnote">The longer idea will appear as a <em>footnote</em>
	to the current post, before comments, but after the post content</span> -- that idea is a footnote at the end of this post.
	
The footnote span will appear inline with the post content in the Editing screen, but when displayed in the blog it will be extracted and replaced
by a numbered URI pointing to the anchor of the footnote. This behavior is controlled in the 'footnote.js' file located in the 'javascript' directory
of this theme.



Future Directions
=================

The current items are on the ToDo list:

1. Automatic code highlighting (evaluating current highlighter options)
2. CSS/html simplification
3. Color theme customization
4. URI integration with Version Control to automatically link revision numbers to repositories
5. Integration of Page support (style, location, layout TBD)
6. Tag styling for posts (h1 - h6, hr)
