The following are types of information that need USFM markers so that they can be formatted. See [How to Format the Text](../translate/file-formats/01.md) to see the markers for chapter, verse, and paragraph.
Book titles have the USFM marker "\mt" to show the formatting of the title at the beginning of the book. For example, the book of Genesis has the following line.
Some of the Psalms have headings that are part of the scripture. Often these tell who wrote the psalm, when he wrote it, and how it is to be sung. These headings have the USFM marker "\d" to show that they are this kind of heading. The beginning of Psalm 4 has the following USFM formatting and text.
The Psalms, Proverbs, and other songs can be formatted in paragraphs or as poetry. If you format them as poetry, each line will need the USFM marker "\q" before it so that it will be indented. Exodus 15 begins with a paragraph about Moses and the people singing a song to Yahweh. The song, which is poetry, follows it. Each line of the song has "\q" before it.
The Song of Solomon is a poem about the love of a man and woman. You may add headings that identify which parts of the poem are the words of the man, the words of the woman, and the words of their friends. These headings all begin with the USFM marker "\s2".
Footnotes begin with "\f + \ft" and end with "\f\*". Some footnotes also have other markers inside of them. The following shows how a footnote is marked in Mark 16:20.
\v 20 The disciples left and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word by the signs that went with them.] \f + \ft See the note on Mark 16:9. \f\*
