Editing Bacon's cipher (section)

==Baconian cipher example==
The word 'steganography', encoded with quotation marks, where standard text represents "typeface 1" and text in boldface represents "typeface 2":

{{quote|'''T'''o en'''co'''de '''a''' mes'''s'''age e'''ac'''h letter '''of''' the '''pl'''a'''i'''nt'''ex'''t '''i'''s replaced b'''y a g'''rou'''p of f'''i'''ve''' o'''f t'''he l'''et'''te'''rs 'A' or 'B'.'''|author=|title=|source=}}

The pattern of standard and boldface letters is:

{{quote|ba aabbaa b aaabaaa abba aaaaaa bb aaa bbabaabba ba aaaaaaaa ab b baaab bb babb ab baa abbaabb 'b' bb 'b'.|author=|title=|source=}}

This decodes in groups of five as

{{quote|baaab(S) baaba(T) aabaa(E) aabba(G) aaaaa(A) abbaa(N) abbab(O) aabba(G) baaaa(R) aaaaa(A) abbba(P) aabbb(H) babba(Y) bbaaa bbaab bbbbb|author=|title=|source=}}

where the last three groups, being unintelligible, are assumed not to form part of the message.
