Potential answer to #80

orta added a commit to orta/xdformat that referenced this pull request Sep 16, 2026
Clues: name the reference/body/answer parts of a clue line, and define the
answer as the first word after each ' ~ ', with trailing text ignored.

Move markup out of the Clues section into its own 'xdown Formatting' section
at the bottom, referenced from Metadata and Clue Bodies, and fill it out from
the xd-crossword-tools implementation: links, inline and block images, the
closed set of type characters, and literal-text rendering for malformed
markup.

Design: add background-image, taking a data URI or an external url, and
background-size as a span in cells; note that style characters are
case-sensitive, and that a quoted value is literal so a data URI's ':', ';'
and ',' do not delimit.  Follows puzzmo-com/xd-crossword-tools#81.

Grid: '.' is a block, and any unrecognized character is a rebus lookup.
