Autype Extended Markdown (AEM) is Autype’s semantic document language, not plain Markdown. This reference is optimized for LLMs and covers its standard-Markdown base plus every supported Autype structure and extension. For API and MCP usage, pair this Markdown content with a stylePresetId whenever possible. The style preset is resolved by Autype during rendering, so agents can focus on content while reusing organization typography, spacing, headers, footers, table styles, and chart defaults.
