- Getting the Gist of Markdown's Formatting Syntax
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- This page offers a brief overview of what it's like to use Markdown.
- The [syntax page] [s] provides complete, detailed documentation for
- every feature, but Markdown should be very easy to pick up simply by
- looking at a few examples of it in action. The examples on this page
- are written in a before/after style, showing example syntax and the
- HTML output produced by Markdown.
-
- It's also helpful to simply try Markdown out; the [Dingus] [d] is a
- web application that allows you type your own Markdown-formatted text
- and translate it to XHTML.
-
- **Note:** This document is itself written using Markdown; you
- can [see the source for it by adding '.text' to the URL] [src].

-
-
- ## Paragraphs, Headers, Blockquotes ##
-
- A paragraph is simply one or more consecutive lines of text, separated
- by one or more blank lines. (A blank line is any line that looks like
- a blank line -- a line containing nothing but spaces or tabs is
- considered blank.) Normal paragraphs should not be indented with
- spaces or tabs.
-
- Markdown offers two styles of headers: *Setext* and *atx*.
- Setext-style headers for `<h1>` and `<h2>` are created by
- "underlining" with equal signs (`=`) and hyphens (`-`), respectively.
- To create an atx-style header, you put 1-6 hash marks (`#`) at the
- beginning of the line -- the number of hashes equals the resulting
- HTML header level.
-
- Blockquotes are indicated using email-style '`>`' angle brackets.
-
- Markdown:
-
- A First Level Header
- ====================
-
- A Second Level Header
- ---------------------
-
- Now is the time for all good men to come to
- the aid of their country. This is just a
- regular paragraph.
-
- The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
- dog's back.
-
- ### Header 3
-
- > This is a blockquote.
- >
- > This is the second paragraph in the blockquote.
- >
- > ## This is an H2 in a blockquote
-
-
- Output:
-
- <h1>A First Level Header</h1>
-
- <h2>A Second Level Header</h2>
-
- <p>Now is the time for all good men to come to
- the aid of their country. This is just a
- regular paragraph.</p>
-
- <p>The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
- dog's back.</p>
-
- <h3>Header 3</h3>
-
- <blockquote>
- <p>This is a blockquote.</p>
-
- <p>This is the second paragraph in the blockquote.</p>
-
- <h2>This is an H2 in a blockquote</h2>
- </blockquote>
-
-
-
- ### Phrase Emphasis ###
-
- Markdown uses asterisks and underscores to indicate spans of emphasis.
-
- Markdown:
-
- Some of these words *are emphasized*.
- Some of these words _are emphasized also_.
-
- Use two asterisks for **strong emphasis**.
- Or, if you prefer, __use two underscores instead__.
-
- Output:
-
- <p>Some of these words <em>are emphasized</em>.
- Some of these words <em>are emphasized also</em>.</p>
-
- <p>Use two asterisks for <strong>strong emphasis</strong>.
- Or, if you prefer, <strong>use two underscores instead</strong>.</p>
-
-
-
- ## Lists ##
-
- Unordered (bulleted) lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens (`*`,
- `+`, and `-`) as list markers. These three markers are
- interchangable; this:
-
- * Candy.
- * Gum.
- * Booze.
-
- this:
-
- + Candy.
- + Gum.
- + Booze.
-
- and this:
-
- - Candy.
- - Gum.
- - Booze.
-
- all produce the same output:
-
- <ul>
- <li>Candy.</li>
- <li>Gum.</li>
- <li>Booze.</li>
- </ul>
-
- Ordered (numbered) lists use regular numbers, followed by periods, as
- list markers:
-
- 1. Red
- 2. Green
- 3. Blue
-
- Output:
-
- <ol>
- <li>Red</li>
- <li>Green</li>
- <li>Blue</li>
- </ol>
-
- If you put blank lines between items, you'll get `<p>` tags for the
- list item text. You can create multi-paragraph list items by indenting
- the paragraphs by 4 spaces or 1 tab:
-
- * A list item.
-
- With multiple paragraphs.
-
- * Another item in the list.
-
- Output:
-
- <ul>
- <li><p>A list item.</p>
- <p>With multiple paragraphs.</p></li>
- <li><p>Another item in the list.</p></li>
- </ul>
-
-
-
- ### Links ###
-
- Markdown supports two styles for creating links: *inline* and
- *reference*. With both styles, you use square brackets to delimit the
- text you want to turn into a link.
-
- Inline-style links use parentheses immediately after the link text.
- For example:
-
- This is an [example link](http://example.com/).
-
- Output:
-
- <p>This is an <a href="http://example.com/">
- example link</a>.</p>
-
- Optionally, you may include a title attribute in the parentheses:
-
- This is an [example link](http://example.com/ "With a Title").
-
- Output:
-
- <p>This is an <a href="http://example.com/" title="With a Title">
- example link</a>.</p>
-
- Reference-style links allow you to refer to your links by names, which
- you define elsewhere in your document:
-
- I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][1] than from
- [Yahoo][2] or [MSN][3].
-
- [1]: http://google.com/ "Google"
- [2]: http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search"
- [3]: http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search"
-
- Output:
-
- <p>I get 10 times more traffic from <a href="http://google.com/"
- title="Google">Google</a> than from <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/"
- title="Yahoo Search">Yahoo</a> or <a href="http://search.msn.com/"
- title="MSN Search">MSN</a>.</p>
-
- The title attribute is optional. Link names may contain letters,
- numbers and spaces, but are *not* case sensitive:
-
- I start my morning with a cup of coffee and
- [The New York Times][NY Times].
-
- [ny times]: http://www.nytimes.com/
-
- Output:
-
- <p>I start my morning with a cup of coffee and
- <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/">The New York Times</a>.</p>
-
-
- ### Images ###
-
- Image syntax is very much like link syntax.
-
- Inline (titles are optional):
-
- ![alt text](/path/to/img.jpg "Title")
-
- Reference-style:
-
- ![alt text][id]
-
- [id]: /path/to/img.jpg "Title"
-
- Both of the above examples produce the same output:
-
- <img src="/path/to/img.jpg" alt="alt text" title="Title" />
-
-
-
- ### Code ###
-
- In a regular paragraph, you can create code span by wrapping text in
- backtick quotes. Any ampersands (`&`) and angle brackets (`<` or
- `>`) will automatically be translated into HTML entities. This makes
- it easy to use Markdown to write about HTML example code:
-
- I strongly recommend against using any `<blink>` tags.
-
- I wish SmartyPants used named entities like `&mdash;`
- instead of decimal-encoded entites like `&#8212;`.
-
- Output:
-
- <p>I strongly recommend against using any
- <code>&lt;blink&gt;</code> tags.</p>
-
- <p>I wish SmartyPants used named entities like
- <code>&amp;mdash;</code> instead of decimal-encoded
- entites like <code>&amp;#8212;</code>.</p>
-
-
- To specify an entire block of pre-formatted code, indent every line of
- the block by 4 spaces or 1 tab. Just like with code spans, `&`, `<`,
- and `>` characters will be escaped automatically.
-
- Markdown:
-
- If you want your page to validate under XHTML 1.0 Strict,
- you've got to put paragraph tags in your blockquotes:
-
- <blockquote>
- <p>For example.</p>
- </blockquote>
-
- Output:
-
- <p>If you want your page to validate under XHTML 1.0 Strict,
- you've got to put paragraph tags in your blockquotes:</p>
-
- <pre><code>&lt;blockquote&gt;
- &lt;p&gt;For example.&lt;/p&gt;
- &lt;/blockquote&gt;
- </code></pre>
-
- ## Fenced code blocks (and syntax highlighting)
-
- ```javascript
- for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
- console.log(items[i], i); // log them
- }
- ```
-
- </textarea></form>
-
- <script>
- var editor = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(document.getElementById("code"), {
- mode: 'markdown',
- lineNumbers: true,
- theme: "default",
- extraKeys: {"Enter": "newlineAndIndentContinueMarkdownList"}
- });
- </script>
-
- <p>If you also want support <code>strikethrough</code>, <code>emoji</code> and few other goodies, check out <a href="../gfm/index.html">Github-Flavored Markdown mode</a>.</p>
-
- <p>Optionally depends on other modes for properly highlighted code blocks,
- and XML mode for properly highlighted inline XML blocks.</p>
-

- <ul>
- <li>
