+# Formatting
+
+Material for MkDocs provides support for several HTML elements that can be used 
+to highlight sections of a document or apply specific formatting. Additionally, 
+[Critic Markup][1] is supported, adding the ability to display suggested changes
+for a document.
+
+  [1]: http://criticmarkup.com/
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Critic
+
+[:octicons-file-code-24: Source][2] · [:octicons-workflow-24: Extension][3]
+
+The [Critic][3] extension, which is part of [Python Markdown Extensions][4], 
+allows for the __usage of [Critic Markup][1] to highlight changes__ in a
+document, and can be enabled via `mkdocs.yml`:
+
+``` yaml
+markdown_extensions:
+  - pymdownx.critic
+```
+
+The following options are supported:
+
+`mode`{: #mode }
+
+:   :octicons-milestone-24: Default: `view` – This option defines how the markup 
+    should be parsed, i.e. whether to just `view` all suggest changes, or
+    alternatively `accept` or `reject` them:
+
+    === "View changes"
+
+        ``` yaml
+        markdown_extensions:
+          - pymdownx.critic:
+              mode: view
+        ```
+
+    === "Accept changes"
+
+        ``` yaml
+        markdown_extensions:
+          - pymdownx.critic:
+              mode: accept
+        ```
+
+    === "Reject changes"
+
+        ``` yaml
+        markdown_extensions:
+          - pymdownx.critic:
+              mode: reject
+        ```

+  [3]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/critic/
+  [4]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/
+
+### BetterEm
+
+The [BetterEm][5] extension, which is part of [Python Markdown Extensions][4], 
+improves the handling of Markup to emphasize text (e.g. __bold__  and _italic_), 
+and can be enabled via `mkdocs.yml`:
+
+``` yaml
+markdown_extensions:
+  - pymdownx.betterem:
+      smart_enable: all
+```
+
+  [5]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extensions/betterem/
+
+### Caret, Mark & Tilde
+
+The [Caret][6], [Mark][7] and [Tilde][8] extensions, which are part of [Python 
+Markdown Extensions][4], allow for the __highlighting of text__, as well as
+__handling sub- and superscripts__:
+
+``` yaml
+markdown_extensions:
+  - pymdownx.caret
+  - pymdownx.mark
+  - pymdownx.tilde
+```
+
+  [6]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/caret/
+  [7]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/mark/
+  [8]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/tilde/
+
+### SmartSymbols
+
+The [SmartSymbols][9] extension, which is also part of [Python Markdown 
+Extensions][4], __converts special characters into their corresponding
+symbols__, and can be enabled via `mkdocs.yml`:
+
+``` yaml
+markdown_extensions:
+  - pymdownx.smartsymbols
+```
+
+See the [official documentation][9] for a list of supported symbols.
+
+  [9]: https://facelessuser.github.io/pymdown-extensions/extensions/smartsymbols/
+
+## Usage
+
+### Highlighting changes
+
+When [Critic][10] is enabled, [Critic Markup][1] can be used, which adds the
+ability to _highlight suggested changes_, as well as add _inline comments_ to a 
+document:
+
+  [10]: #critic
+
+_Example_:
+
+``` markdown
+Text can be {​--deleted--} and replacement text {​++added++}. This can also be
+combined into {​~~one~>a single~~} operation. {​==Highlighting==} is also
+possible {​>>and comments can be added inline<<}.
+
+{​==
+
+Formatting can also be applied to blocks, by putting the opening and closing
+tags on separate lines and adding new lines between the tags and the content.
+
+==}
+```
+
+_Result_:
+
+Text can be {--deleted--} and replacement text {++added++}. This can also be
+combined into {~~one~>a single~~} operation. {==Highlighting==} is also
+possible {>>and comments can be added inline<<}.
+
+{==
+
+Formatting can also be applied to blocks, by putting the opening and closing
+tags on separate lines and adding new lines between the tags and the content.
+
+==}
+
+### Highlighting text
+
+When the [Caret, Mark & Tilde][11] extensions are enabled, text can be 
+highlighted with a nicer syntax than using the corresponding `mark`, `del` and 
+`ins` HTML tags:
+
+_Example_:
+
+``` markdown 
+* ^^This was inserted^^
+* ==This was marked==
+* ~~This was deleted~~
+```
+
+_Result_:
+
+* ^^This was inserted^^
+* ==This was marked==
+* ~~This was deleted~~
+
+  [11]: #caret-mark-tilde
+
+### Sub- and superscripts
+
+When the [Caret & Tilde][11] extensions are enabled, text can be sub- and 
+superscripted with a nicer syntax than using the corresponding `sub` and `sup` 
+HTML tags:
+
+_Example_:
+
+``` markdown 
+* A^T^A
+* H~2~0
+```
+
+_Result_:
+
+* A^T^A
