Empowerment Reminder
We are a self-organising movement. No-one is in charge. We are given authority by our place in the whole. Let’s take it, and use it. When we all hold power, there is empowerment. Let’s embrace the power that our groups entrust to each of us, and our teams, to make decisions within our roles, and play our part within our groups. In this system we are all important, we all have things to contribute to the whole. We are all poorer if we miss out on unspoken ideas. For those who find it easy to speak in a group, let’s step back and allow others in. For those who find it hard to speak up, let’s embrace the opportunity to find our voice. This is our new way of working. This is autonomy and decentralization in practice.
Usage: Near the beginning (or end) of a meeting, alongside Regen reminder

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him.
The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for indoor display, had been tacked to the wall. It depicted simply an enormous face, more than a metre wide: the face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and ruggedly handsome features. Winston made for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working, and at present the electric current was cut off during daylight hours. It was part of the economy drive in preparation for Hate Week. The flat was seven flights up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly, resting several times on the way. On each landing, opposite the lift-shaft, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wall. It was one of those pictures which are so contrived that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU, the caption beneath it ran.
As I was going up the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today;
I wish that man would go away.

And how do lists work?
-
With a blank line between each entry
-
like this
-
Third item
Or all squashed up?
- First item with no blank line between each entry
- like this
- Third item
There, how's that? No, they are all squashed up.
PS. The first one is actually turned into different HTML, in accordance with the Markdown specification, but the current style sheet specifically removes the margins from <p> tags inside list elements.
To force wide spacing, you can start each item with alternating characters, but then it makes a new list for each item, which may be confusing for people who use screen readers.
- First item of a list with alternating symbols
- like this
- Third item
So that is widely spaced. Or you may be able to do it with a forced line break with two spaces at the end of each line, or a <br> tag [PS: No]
- First item of a list with two spaces at the end of each line
- like this
- Third item
{: .align-right} Markdown Extra says this should make the image right-aligned, but it doesn't.
So we have to do it ourselves with HTML markup. To float left, use "align-left".
I have been asked whether we can embed JavaScript? Best to try it: . What if I quote it like this: <script>document.write("Yes it works two");</script>. Conclusion: the Markdown processor strips it out if not quoted, and quotes it if quoted.
And can we use simple [square brackets] or [[double square brackets]] for annotations, or does it mess with Markdown? Seems OK, but could be mistaken for a link: only if [with brackets after].
Question : Do definition lists work as defined by Markdown Extra? The colon should make this format as a definition (indented). The Bookstack editor doesn't support it, just checking that the main renderer doesn't.
Answer : No.
- Can I use HTML?
- You mean to make a Definition List? Well you can try.

Well, well, well. Three holes in the ground. I think the best thing is to look through all the sandy bits above and see what I make of them :-) [verry interresting]
