Editing Morse code (section)

===Timing===
Below is an illustration of timing conventions. The phrase '''{{sc|MORSE CODE}}''', in Morse code format, would normally be written something like this, where {{code|–}} represents ''dahs'' and {{code|·}} represents ''dits'':

<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
 −− −−− ·−· ··· ·       −·−· −−− −·· ·
  M  O   R   S  E        C   O   D  E
</syntaxhighlight>

Next is the exact conventional timing for this phrase, with {{code|▓}} representing "signal on", and {{code|˽}} representing "signal off", each for the time length of exactly one dit:
{{disable VE top}}
{{smalldiv|1=
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
