+The `format` directive is supplied by the [[!iki plugins/format desc=format]]
+plugin.
+
+The directive allows formatting a chunk of text using any available page
+format. It takes two parameters. First is the type of format to use,
+ie the extension that would be used for a standalone file of this type.
+Second is the text to format.
+
+For example, this will embed an otl outline inside a page using mdwn or
+some other format:
+
+ \[[!format otl """
+ foo
+ 1
+ 2
+ bar
+ 3
+ 4
+ """]]
