 ### Microdown inline extensions
 
 There is potentially an endless number of extensions one would like to add to Microdown. Rather than keep inventing new syntax, the generic syntax for inline syntax is:
-`{!extensionName|parameter1=value1&parameter2=value2&parameter3=value3!}`. What the extension does will typically depend on the visitor ($\LaTeX$ generation, Text generation, HTML generation etc)
