An inline-zettel block allows to specify some content with another syntax without creating a new zettel. This is useful, for example, if you want to embed some Markdown content, because you are too lazy to translate Markdown into Zettelmarkup. Another example is to specify HTML code to use it for some kind of web front-end framework.

As all other line-range blocks, an inline-zettel block begins with at least three identical characters, starting at the first position of a line. For inline-zettel blocks, the at-sign character (@, U+0040) is used.

You can add some attributes on the beginning line of a verbatim block, following the initiating characters. The inline-zettel block uses the attribute key syntax to specify the syntax of the inline-zettel. Alternatively, you can use the generic attribute to specify the syntax value. If no value is provided, text is assumed.

Any other character in this first line will be ignored.

Text following the beginning line will not be interpreted, until a line begins with at least the same number of the same at-sign characters given at the beginning line. This allows to enter some at-sign characters in the text that should not be interpreted at this level.

Some examples:

@@@markdown
A link to [this](00001007031200) zettel.
@@@

will be rendered as:

If you have set insecure-html to the value zettelmarkup, the following markup is not ignored:

@@@html
<h1>H1 Heading</h1>
Alea iacta est
@@@

will render a section heading of level 1, which is not allowed within Zettelmarkup:

Of course, you do not need to switch the syntax and you are allowed to nest inline-zettel blocks:

@@@@zmk
1st level inline
@@@zmk
2nd level inline

Transclusion of zettel to enable authentication:
{{{00001010040100}}}
@@@
@@@@

will result in the following HTML output:
