Alternatively, for H1 and H2, an underline-ish style:
Emphasis, aka italics, with asterisks or underscores.
Strong emphasis, aka bold, with asterisks or underscores.
Combined emphasis with asterisks and underscores.
Strikethrough uses two tildes. Scratch this.
- First ordered list item
- Another item
- Unordered sub-list.
-
Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number
-
Ordered sub-list
-
And another item.
You can have properly indented paragraphs within list items. Notice the blank line above, and the leading spaces (at least one, but we'll use three here to also align the raw Markdown).
To have a line break without a paragraph, you will need to use two trailing spaces.
Note that this line is separate, but within the same paragraph.
(This is contrary to the typical GFM line break behaviour, where trailing spaces are not required.)
- Unordered list can use asterisks
- Or minuses
- Or pluses
I'm an inline-style link with title
[I'm a reference-style link][Arbitrary case-insensitive reference text]
I'm a relative reference to a repository file
You can use numbers for reference-style link definitions
Or leave it empty and use the [link text itself]
Some text to show that the reference links can follow later.
Here's our logo (hover to see the title text):
Reference-style: ![alt text][logo]
Inline code
has back-ticks around
it.
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
s = "Python syntax highlighting"
print s
No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting.
But let's throw in a <b>tag</b>.
Colons can be used to align columns.
Tables | Are | Cool |
---|---|---|
col 3 is | right-aligned | $1600 |
col 2 is | centered | $12 |
zebra stripes | are neat | $1 |
The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.
Markdown | Less | Pretty |
---|---|---|
Still | renders |
nicely |
1 | 2 | 3 |
Blockquotes are very handy in email to emulate reply text. This line is part of the same quote.
Quote break.
This is a very long line that will still be quoted properly when it wraps. Oh boy let's keep writing to make sure this is long enough to actually wrap for everyone. Oh, you can put Markdown into a blockquote.
Three or more...
Hyphens
Asterisks
Underscores

Markdown is a lightweight markup language based on the formatting conventions that people naturally use in email. As John Gruber writes on the [Markdown site] 1:
The overriding design goal for Markdown's formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it's been marked up with tags or formatting instructions.
This text you see here is actually written in Markdown! To get a feel for Markdown's syntax, type some text into the left window and watch the results in the right.
