spread the demo's features across the pages that would carry them

notes-on-water had become a kitchen sink: every feature from the last eight
loops on one page, which demonstrates the engine and misrepresents the site.

Now each lands where a real site would put it. The text marks, the abbreviation,
authored <kbd> and the margin note go to writing/typography, which is already
the page about what the engine does to words. Icons and the grouped panels go to
pages/colophon, which is the page about the theme — install instructions are
what tabs are actually for. about gets a lone expando, the-flood gets a chapter
note, and notes-on-water keeps what it is really for: the include and its
namespaced footnotes, the gauge table, the glossary and a contents list over its
own headings.

Seven bundles carry features now instead of two, and the demo cases moved with
them, so each still names the page it proves.

## The dialect
## Readings
The page has a footnote of its own[^page], a table, a definition list and ~~a struck phrase~~.
The notation marks cover what prose needs most often: the gauge measures H~2~O to about 10^-3^ m, and the
==important== column is the second. Where there is no mark for something, HTML does it: the reading is taken
with <kbd>Shift</kbd> held. Content in the site root is the author's own, so it renders rather than being
dropped. Readings go to the NIWA archive, and the definition below expands every use of it.

Inside a code span none of it happens: `"quotes" -- and ellipses...` survive byte for byte, because the

## Marks the dialect adds
Where prose needs more than CommonMark offers there are four marks: water is H~2~O, a millimetre is 10^-3^ m,
the ==second column== is the one that matters, and ~~this phrase~~ was cut. A subscript holds a formula and
never a phrase, so `x^2 + y^2` stays exactly as typed.
Text in NFC is what the engine stores, and every use of that term expands.

Line breaking is not the engine's business at all. This paragraph is deliberately long enough to wrap several
times on a narrow screen, which is where you would notice a lonely last word — and the stylesheet asks the
browser to avoid one with `text-wrap: pretty`, because only the browser knows where the lines actually fall.
