Layout-aware Markdown

The plugin supports structural layout directives directly in Markdown.

Opening directives

• :::section
• :::2col
• :::3col

Closing directives

• ::: closes the current layout scope
• :::endcol explicitly closes the active grid
• :::end closes the current section and any nested grids
• :::endsection closes the current section and any nested grids

Layout rules

Grids are heading-aware relative to where they open.

If a grid opens under a heading of depth N, then:

• headings at depth N + 1 are treated as cell boundaries
• deeper headings stay nested inside the current cell
• grids can be explicitly closed with :::endcol
• a section can close all nested grids with :::end or :::endsection

Recommendation

Keep grid opens explicit.

Open a new :::2col or :::3col when you want a new grid region.
