Markdown help Code and Preformatted Text Indent four spaces to create an escaped <pre> <code> block: printf("%d\n", 42); /* what was the question again? */ You can also select text and press CTRL+K to toggle indenting as code. The text will be wrapped in tags, and displayed in a monospaced font. The first four spaces will be stripped off, but all other whitespace will be preserved. Markdown and HTML are ignored within a code block: <blink> You would hate this if it weren't wrapped in a code block. </blink> Instead of using indentation, you can also create code blocks by using “code fences”, consisting of three or more backticks or tildes: ``` alert(false); ``` ~~~ alert(true); ~~~ Code Spans Use backticks to create an inline <code> span: The `$` character is just a shortcut for `window.jQuery`. (The backtick key is in the upper left corner of most keyboards.) Like code blocks, code spans will be displayed in a monospaced font. Markdown and HTML will not work within them. Note that, unlike code blocks, code spans require you to manually escape any HTML within! If your code itself contains backticks, you may have to use multiple backticks as delimiters: The name ``Tuple`2`` is a valid .NET type name. collapse collapse all link Linebreaks End a line with two spaces to add a <br/> linebreak: How do I love thee? Let me count the ways Italics and Bold *This is italicized*, and so is _this_. **This is bold**, and so is __this__. Use ***italics and bold together*** if you ___have to___. You can also select text and press CTRL+I or CTRL+B to toggle italics or bold respectively. Links Basic Links There are three ways to write links. Each is easier to read than the last: Here's an inline link to [Google](
https://www.google.com/). Here's a reference-style link to [Google][1]. Here's a very readable link to [Yahoo!][yahoo]. [1]:
https://www.google.com/ [yahoo]:
https://www.yahoo.com/ You can also select text and press CTRL+L to make it a link, or press CTRL+L with no text selected to insert a link at the current position. The link definitions can appear anywhere in the document -- before or after the place where you use them. The link definition names [1] and [yahoo] can be any unique string, and are case-insensitive; [yahoo] is the same as [YAHOO]. Advanced Links Links can have a title attribute, which will show up on hover. Title attributes can also be added; they are helpful if the link itself is not descriptive enough to tell users where they're going. Here's a <span class="bg-black-200">[poorly-named link](
https://www.google.com/ "Google")</span>. Never write "[click here][^2]". Visit [us][web]. [^2]:

https://example.com" title="example">example</a> collapse collapse all link Bare URLs We have modified our Markdown parser to support "naked" URLs (in most but not all cases -- beware of unusual characters in your URLs); they will be converted to links automatically: I often visit
https://example.com. Force URLs by enclosing them in angle brackets: Have you seen <
https://example.com>? URLs can be relative or full. Headers Underline text to make the two <h1> <h2> top-level headers : Header 1 ======== Header 2 -------- You can also select text and press CTRL+H to step through the different heading styles. The number of = or - signs doesn't matter; one will work. But using enough to underline the text makes your titles look better in plain text. Use hash marks for several levels of headers: # Header 1 # ## Header 2 ## ### Header 3 ### The closing # characters are optional. collapse collapse all link Horizontal Rules Insert a horizontal rule <hr/> by putting three or more hyphens, asterisks, or underscores on a line by themselves: Rule #1 --- Rule #2 ******* Rule #3 ___ Using spaces between the characters also works: Rule #4 - - - - You can also press CTRL+R to insert a horizontal rule. collapse collapse all link Simple lists A bulleted <ul> list: - Use a minus sign for a bullet + Or plus sign * Or an asterisk A numbered <ol> list: 1. Numbered lists are easy 2. Markdown keeps track of the numbers for you 7. So this will be item 3. You can also select text and press CTRL+U or CTRL+O to toggle a bullet or numbered list respectively. A double-spaced list: - This list gets wrapped in <p> tags - So there will be extra space between items collapse collapse all link Advanced lists: Nesting To put other Markdown blocks in a list; just indent four spaces for each nesting level: 1. Lists in a list item: - Indented four spaces. * indented eight spaces. - Four spaces again. 2. Multiple paragraphs in a list items: It's best to indent the paragraphs four spaces You can get away with three, but it can get confusing when you nest other things. Stick to four. We indented the first line an extra space to align it with these paragraphs. In real use, we might do that to the entire list so that all items line up. This paragraph is still part of the list item, but it looks messy to humans. So it's a good idea to wrap your nested paragraphs manually, as we did with the first two. 3. Blockquotes in a list item: > Skip a line and > indent the >'s four spaces. 4. Preformatted text in a list item: Skip a line and indent eight spaces. That's four spaces for the list and four to trigger the code block. collapse collapse all link Simple blockquotes Add a > to the beginning of any line to create a blockquote. > The syntax is based on the way email programs > usually do quotations. You don't need to hard-wrap > the paragraphs in your blockquotes, but it looks much nicer if you do. Depends how lazy you feel. You can also select text and press CTRL+Q to toggle a blockquote. Advanced blockquotes: Nesting To put other Markdown blocks in a blockquote, just add a > followed by a space: > The `>` on the blank lines is required > to create a single blockquote. > > If you leave out the extra `>` > you will end up with > two distinct blockquotes. Blockquotes within a blockquote: > A standard blockquote is indented > > A nested blockquote is indented more > > > > You can nest to any depth. Lists in a blockquote: > - A list in a blockquote > - With a > and space in front of it > * A sublist Preformatted text in a blockquote: > Indent five spaces total.
