== DESCRIPTION:
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
"You can't teach a Sneetch."
|
|

|
+

|
+
McBean transforms HTML into Markdown with the help of Loofah and Nokogiri.
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
Its goal is to eventually be able to transform (with the help of other
|
|
12
|
+
relevant gems) documents from HTML to Markdown to Textile, and
|
|
13
|
+
anything in between. It will be the Sylvester McMonkey McBean of
|
|
14
|
+
markup, placing stars onto the bellies of all kinds of document
|
|
15
|
+
formats.
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
* Transforms HTML into Markdown.
|
|
20
|
+
* Doesn't do anything else yet.
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
== SYNOPSIS:
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+
If you have an HTML fragment:
|
|
25
|
+
|
|
26
|
+
McBean.fragment(your_html_string).to_markdown
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
Or if you have an HTML document:
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
McBean.document(your_html_string).to_markdown
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
=== Side Note: Fragments vs Documents
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
Generally speaking, if you expect to have a DOCTYPE and a single root
|
|
35
|
+
\<html\> node, you have a *document*. If you don't expect to
|
|
36
|
+
have a single root node, you have a *fragment*.
|
|

+
|

|
+

<p>Markdown is intended to be as easy-to-read and easy-to-write as is feasible.</p>
|
|
147
|
+
|
|
148
|
+
<p>Readability, however, is emphasized above all else. A Markdown-formatted
|
|
149
|
+
document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking
|
|
150
|
+
like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While
|
|
151
|
+
Markdown’s syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML
|
|
152
|
+
filters — including <a href="http://docutils.sourceforge.net/mirror/setext.html">Setext</a>, <a href="http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/atx/">atx</a>, <a href="http://textism.com/tools/textile/">Textile</a>, <a href="http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html">reStructuredText</a>,
|
|
153
|
+
<a href="http://www.triptico.com/software/grutatxt.html">Grutatext</a>, and <a href="http://ettext.taint.org/doc/">EtText</a> — the single biggest source of
|
|
154
|
+
inspiration for Markdown’s syntax is the format of plain text email.</p>
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
<p>To this end, Markdown’s syntax is comprised entirely of punctuation
|
|
157
|
+
characters, which punctuation characters have been carefully chosen so
|
|
158
|
+
as to look like what they mean. E.g., asterisks around a word actually
|
|
159
|
+
look like *emphasis*. Markdown lists look like, well, lists. Even
|
|
160
|
+
blockquotes look like quoted passages of text, assuming you’ve ever
|
|
161
|
+
used email.</p>
|
|
162
|
+
|
|
163
|
+
<h3 id="html">Inline HTML</h3>
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
<p>Markdown’s syntax is intended for one purpose: to be used as a
|
|
166
|
+
format for <em>writing</em> for the web.</p>
|
|
167
|
+
|
|
168
|
+
<p>Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its
|
|
169
|
+
syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of
|
|
170
|
+
HTML tags. The idea is <em>not</em> to create a syntax that makes it easier
|
|
171
|
+
to insert HTML tags. In my opinion, HTML tags are already easy to
|
|
172
|
+
insert. The idea for Markdown is to make it easy to read, write, and
|
|
173
|
+
edit prose. HTML is a <em>publishing</em> format; Markdown is a <em>writing</em>
|
|
174
|
+
format. Thus, Markdown’s formatting syntax only addresses issues that
|
|
175
|
+
can be conveyed in plain text.</p>
|
|
176
|
+
|
|
177
|
+
<p>For any markup that is not covered by Markdown’s syntax, you simply
|
|
178
|
+
use HTML itself. There’s no need to preface it or delimit it to
|
|
179
|
+
indicate that you’re switching from Markdown to HTML; you just use
|
|
180
|
+
the tags.</p>
|
|
181
|
+
|
|
182
|
+
<p>The only restrictions are that block-level HTML elements — e.g. <code><div></code>,
|
|
183
|
+
<code><table></code>, <code><pre></code>, <code><p></code>, etc. — must be separated from surrounding
|
|
184
|
+
content by blank lines, and the start and end tags of the block should
|
|
185
|
+
not be indented with tabs or spaces. Markdown is smart enough not
|
|
186
|
+
to add extra (unwanted) <code><p></code> tags around HTML block-level tags.</p>
|
|
187
|
+
|
|
188
|
+
<p>For example, to add an HTML table to a Markdown article:</p>
|
|
189
|
+
|
|
190
|
+
<pre><code>This is a regular paragraph.
|
|
191
|
+
|
|
192
|
+
<table>
|
|
193
|
+
<tr>
|
|
194
|
+
<td>Foo</td>
|
|
195
|
+
</tr>
|
|
196
|
+
</table>
|
|
197
|
+
|
|
198
|
+
This is another regular paragraph.
|
|
199
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
200
|
+
|
|
201
|
+
<p>Note that Markdown formatting syntax is not processed within block-level
|
|
202
|
+
HTML tags. E.g., you can’t use Markdown-style <code>*emphasis*</code> inside an
|
|
203
|
+
HTML block.</p>
|
|
204
|
+
|
|
205
|
+
<p>Span-level HTML tags — e.g. <code><span></code>, <code><cite></code>, or <code><del></code> — can be
|
|
206
|
+
used anywhere in a Markdown paragraph, list item, or header. If you
|
|
207
|
+
want, you can even use HTML tags instead of Markdown formatting; e.g. if
|
|
208
|
+
you’d prefer to use HTML <code><a></code> or <code><img></code> tags instead of Markdown’s
|
|
209
|
+
link or image syntax, go right ahead.</p>
|
|
210
|
+
|
|
211
|
+
<p>Unlike block-level HTML tags, Markdown syntax <em>is</em> processed within
|
|
212
|
+
span-level tags.</p>
|
|
213
|
+
|

|
+
<h3 id="autoescape">Automatic Escaping for Special Characters</h3>
|
|
215
|
+
|
|
216
|
+
<p>In HTML, there are two characters that demand special treatment: <code><</code>
|
|
217
|
+
and <code>&</code>. Left angle brackets are used to start tags; ampersands are
|
|
218
|
+
used to denote HTML entities. If you want to use them as literal
|
|
219
|
+
characters, you must escape them as entities, e.g. <code>&lt;</code>, and
|
|
220
|
+
<code>&amp;</code>.</p>
|
|
221
|
+
|
|
222
|
+
<p>Ampersands in particular are bedeviling for web writers. If you want to
|
|
223
|
+
write about ‘AT&T’, you need to write ‘<code>AT&amp;T</code>’. You even need to
|
|
224
|
+
escape ampersands within URLs. Thus, if you want to link to:</p>
|
|
225
|
+
|
|
226
|
+
<pre><code>http://images.google.com/images?num=30&q=larry+bird
|
|
227
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
228
|
+
|
|
229
|
+
<p>you need to encode the URL as:</p>
|
|
230
|
+
|
|
231
|
+
<pre><code>http://images.google.com/images?num=30&amp;q=larry+bird
|
|
232
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
233
|
+
|
|
234
|
+
<p>in your anchor tag <code>href</code> attribute. Needless to say, this is easy to
|
|
235
|
+
forget, and is probably the single most common source of HTML validation
|
|
236
|
+
errors in otherwise well-marked-up web sites.</p>
|
|
237
|
+
|
|
238
|
+
<p>Markdown allows you to use these characters naturally, taking care of
|
|
239
|
+
all the necessary escaping for you. If you use an ampersand as part of
|
|
240
|
+
an HTML entity, it remains unchanged; otherwise it will be translated
|
|
241
|
+
into <code>&amp;</code>.</p>
|
|
242
|
+
|
|
243
|
+
<p>So, if you want to include a copyright symbol in your article, you can write:</p>
|
|
244
|
+
|
|
245
|
+
<pre><code>&copy;
|
|
246
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
247
|
+
|
|
248
|
+
<p>and Markdown will leave it alone. But if you write:</p>
|
|
249
|
+
|
|
250
|
+
<pre><code>AT&T
|
|
251
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
252
|
+
|
|
253
|
+
<p>Markdown will translate it to:</p>
|
|
254
|
+
|
|
255
|
+
<pre><code>AT&amp;T
|
|
256
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
257
|
+
|
|
258
|
+
<p>Similarly, because Markdown supports <a href="#html">inline HTML</a>, if you use
|
|
259
|
+
angle brackets as delimiters for HTML tags, Markdown will treat them as
|
|
260
|
+
such. But if you write:</p>
|
|
261
|
+
|
|
262
|
+
<pre><code>4 < 5
|
|
263
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
264
|
+
|
|
265
|
+
<p>Markdown will translate it to:</p>
|
|
266
|
+
|
|
267
|
+
<pre><code>4 &lt; 5
|
|
268
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
269
|
+
|
|
270
|
+
<p>However, inside Markdown code spans and blocks, angle brackets and
|
|
271
|
+
ampersands are <em>always</em> encoded automatically. This makes it easy to use
|
|
272
|
+
Markdown to write about HTML code. (As opposed to raw HTML, which is a
|
|
273
|
+
terrible format for writing about HTML syntax, because every single <code><</code>
|
|
274
|
+
and <code>&</code> in your example code needs to be escaped.)</p>

280
|
+
<h3 id="p">Paragraphs and Line Breaks</h3>
|
|
281
|
+
|
|
282
|
+
<p>A paragraph is simply one or more consecutive lines of text, separated
|
|
283
|
+
by one or more blank lines. (A blank line is any line that looks like a
|
|
284
|
+
blank line — a line containing nothing but spaces or tabs is considered
|
|
285
|
+
blank.) Normal paragraphs should not be indented with spaces or tabs.</p>
|
|
286
|
+
|
|
287
|
+
<p>The implication of the “one or more consecutive lines of text” rule is
|
|
288
|
+
that Markdown supports “hard-wrapped” text paragraphs. This differs
|
|
289
|
+
significantly from most other text-to-HTML formatters (including Movable
|
|
290
|
+
Type’s “Convert Line Breaks” option) which translate every line break
|
|
291
|
+
character in a paragraph into a <code><br /></code> tag.</p>
|
|
292
|
+
|
|
293
|
+
<p>When you <em>do</em> want to insert a <code><br /></code> break tag using Markdown, you
|
|
294
|
+
end a line with two or more spaces, then type return.</p>
|
|
295
|
+
|
|
296
|
+
<p>Yes, this takes a tad more effort to create a <code><br /></code>, but a simplistic
|
|
297
|
+
“every line break is a <code><br /></code>” rule wouldn’t work for Markdown.
|
|
298
|
+
Markdown’s email-style <a href="#blockquote">blockquoting</a> and multi-paragraph <a href="#list">list items</a>
|
|
299
|
+
work best — and look better — when you format them with hard breaks.</p>

<p>Markdown supports two styles of headers, <a href="http://docutils.sourceforge.net/mirror/setext.html">Setext</a> and <a href="http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/atx/">atx</a>.</p>
|
|
304
|
+
|
|
305
|
+
<p>Setext-style headers are “underlined” using equal signs (for first-level
|
|
306
|
+
headers) and dashes (for second-level headers). For example:</p>
|
|
307
|
+
|
|
308
|
+
<pre><code>This is an H1
|
|
309
|
+
=============
|
|
310
|
+
|
|
311
|
+
This is an H2
|
|
312
|
+
-------------
|
|
313
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
314
|
+
|
|
315
|
+
<p>Any number of underlining <code>=</code>’s or <code>-</code>’s will work.</p>
|
|
316
|
+
|
|
317
|
+
<p>Atx-style headers use 1-6 hash characters at the start of the line,
|
|
318
|
+
corresponding to header levels 1-6. For example:</p>
|
|
319
|
+
|
|
320
|
+
<pre><code># This is an H1
|
|
321
|
+
|
|
322
|
+
## This is an H2
|
|
323
|
+
|
|
324
|
+
###### This is an H6
|
|
325
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
326
|
+
|
|
327
|
+
<p>Optionally, you may “close” atx-style headers. This is purely
|
|
328
|
+
cosmetic — you can use this if you think it looks better. The
|
|
329
|
+
closing hashes don’t even need to match the number of hashes
|
|
330
|
+
used to open the header. (The number of opening hashes
|
|
331
|
+
determines the header level.) :</p>
|
|
332
|
+
|
|
333

<h3 id="blockquote">Blockquotes</h3>
|
|
341
|
+
|
|
342
|
+
<p>Markdown uses email-style <code>></code> characters for blockquoting. If you’re
|
|
343
|
+
familiar with quoting passages of text in an email message, then you
|
|
344
|
+
know how to create a blockquote in Markdown. It looks best if you hard
|
|
345
|
+
wrap the text and put a <code>></code> before every line:</p>
|
|
346
|
+
|
|
347
|
+
<pre><code>> This is a blockquote with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
|
|
348
|
+
> consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus.
|
|
349
|
+
> Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
|
|
350
|
+
>
|
|
351
|
+
> Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse
|
|
352
|
+
> id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
|
353
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
354
|
+
|
|
355
|
+
<p>Markdown allows you to be lazy and only put the <code>></code> before the first
|
|
356
|
+
line of a hard-wrapped paragraph:</p>
|
|
357
|
+
|
|
358
|
+
<pre><code>> This is a blockquote with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
|
|
359
|
+
consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus.
|
|
360
|
+
Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
|
|
361
|
+
|
|
362
|
+
> Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse
|
|
363
|
+
id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
|
364
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
365
|
+
|
|
366
|
+
<p>Blockquotes can be nested (i.e. a blockquote-in-a-blockquote) by
|
|
367
|
+
adding additional levels of <code>></code>:</p>
|
|
368
|
+
|
|
369
|
+
<pre><code>> This is the first level of quoting.
|
|
370
|
+
>
|
|
371
|
+
> > This is nested blockquote.
|
|
372
|
+
>
|
|
373
|
+
> Back to the first level.
|
|
374
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
375
|
+
|
|
376
|
+
<p>Blockquotes can contain other Markdown elements, including headers, lists,
|
|
377
|
+
and code blocks:</p>
|
|
378
|
+
|
|
379
|
+
<pre><code>> ## This is a header.
|
|
380

|
|
381
|
+
> 1. This is the first list item.
|
|
382
|
+
> 2. This is the second list item.
|
|
383
|
+
>
|
|
384
|
+
> Here's some example code:
|

385

|
387
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
388
|
+
|
|
389
|
+
<p>Any decent text editor should make email-style quoting easy. For
|
|
390
|
+
example, with BBEdit, you can make a selection and choose Increase
|
|
391
|
+
Quote Level from the Text menu.</p>

<h3 id="list">Lists</h3>
|
|
394
|
+
|

395
|

<p>Markdown supports ordered (numbered) and unordered (bulleted) lists.</p>
|
|
396
|
+
|
|
397
|
+
<p>Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens — interchangably
|
|
398
|
+
— as list markers:</p>
|
|
399
|
+
|
|
400
|
+
<pre><code>* Red
|
|
401
|
+

|
|
403
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
404
|
+
|
|
405
|
+
<p>is equivalent to:</p>
|
|
406
|
+
|
|
407
|
+
<pre><code>+ Red
|
|
408
|
+

|
+

|
|
410
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
411
|
+
|
|
412
|
+
<p>and:</p>
|
|
413
|
+
|
|
414
|
+
<pre><code>- Red
|
|
415
|
+
- Green
|
|
416
|
+
- Blue
|
|
417
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
418
|
+
|
|
419
|
+
<p>Ordered lists use numbers followed by periods:</p>
|
|
420
|
+
|
|
421
|
+
<pre><code>1. Bird
|
|
422
|
+
2. McHale
|
|
423
|
+
3. Parish
|
|
424
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
425
|
+
|
|
426
|
+
<p>It’s important to note that the actual numbers you use to mark the
|
|
427
|
+
list have no effect on the HTML output Markdown produces. The HTML
|
|
428
|
+
Markdown produces from the above list is:</p>
|
|
429
|
+
|
|
430
|
+
<pre><code><ol>
|
|
431
|
+
<li>Bird</li>
|
|
432
|
+
<li>McHale</li>
|
|
433
|
+
<li>Parish</li>
|
|
434
|
+
</ol>
|
|
435
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
436
|
+
|
|
437
|
+
<p>If you instead wrote the list in Markdown like this:</p>
|
|
438
|
+
|
|
439
|
+
<pre><code>1. Bird
|
|
440
|
+
1. McHale
|
|
441
|
+
1. Parish
|
|
442
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
443
|
+
|
|
444
|
+
<p>or even:</p>
|
|
445
|
+
|
|
446
|
+
<pre><code>3. Bird
|
|
447
|
+
1. McHale
|
|
448
|
+
8. Parish
|
|
449
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
450
|
+
|
|
451
|
+
<p>you’d get the exact same HTML output. The point is, if you want to,
|
|
452
|
+
you can use ordinal numbers in your ordered Markdown lists, so that
|
|
453
|
+
the numbers in your source match the numbers in your published HTML.
|
|
454
|
+
But if you want to be lazy, you don’t have to.</p>
|
|
455
|
+
|
|
456
|
+
<p>If you do use lazy list numbering, however, you should still start the
|
|
457
|
+
list with the number 1. At some point in the future, Markdown may support
|
|
458
|
+
starting ordered lists at an arbitrary number.</p>
|
|
459
|
+
|
|
460
|
+
<p>List markers typically start at the left margin, but may be indented by
|
|
461
|
+
up to three spaces. List markers must be followed by one or more spaces
|
|
462
|
+
or a tab.</p>
|
|
463
|
+
|
|
464
|
+
<p>To make lists look nice, you can wrap items with hanging indents:</p>
|
|
465
|
+
|
|
466
|
+
<pre><code>* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
|
|
467
|
+
Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi,
|
|
468
|
+
viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
|
|
469
|
+
* Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit.
|
|
470
|
+
Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
|
471
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
472
|
+
|
|
473
|
+
<p>But if you want to be lazy, you don’t have to:</p>
|
|
474
|
+
|
|
475
|
+
<pre><code>* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
|
|
476
|

Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi,

|
+
viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
|
|
478
|
+
* Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit.
|
|
479
|
+
Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
|
480
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
481
|
+
|
|
482
|
+
<p>If list items are separated by blank lines, Markdown will wrap the
|
|
483
|
+
items in <code><p></code> tags in the HTML output. For example, this input:</p>
|
|
484
|
+
|
|
485
|
+
<pre><code>* Bird
|
|
486

<p>It looks nice if you indent every line of the subsequent

528

lazy:</p>
|

530
|
+
|
|
531
|
+
<pre><code>* This is a list item with two paragraphs.
|
|
532
|
+
|
|
533
|
+
This is the second paragraph in the list item. You're
|
|
534
|
+
only required to indent the first line. Lorem ipsum dolor
|
|
535
|
+
sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
|
|
536

538

+
</code></pre>
|
|
539
|

|
|
540
|
+
<p>To put a blockquote within a list item, the blockquote’s <code>></code>
|
|
541
|
+
delimiters need to be indented:</p>
|
|
542
|
+
|
|
543
|
+
<pre><code>* A list item with a blockquote:
|

547
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
548
|
+
|
|
549
|
+
<p>To put a code block within a list item, the code block needs
|
|
550
|
+
to be indented <em>twice</em> — 8 spaces or two tabs:</p>
|
|
551
|
+
|
|
552
|
+
<pre><code>* A list item with a code block:
|

|
|
555
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
556
|
+
|
|
557
|
+
<p>It’s worth noting that it’s possible to trigger an ordered list by
|
|
558
|
+
accident, by writing something like this:</p>
|
|
559
|
+
|
|
560
|
+
<pre><code>1986. What a great season.
|
|
561
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
562
|
+
|
|
563
|
+
<p>In other words, a <em>number-period-space</em> sequence at the beginning of a
|
|
564
|
+
line. To avoid this, you can backslash-escape the period:</p>
|
|
565
|
+
|
|
566
|
+
<pre><code>1986\. What a great season.

<h3 id="precode">Code Blocks</h3>
|
|
570
|
+
|
|
571
|
+
<p>Pre-formatted code blocks are used for writing about programming or
|
|
572
|
+
markup source code. Rather than forming normal paragraphs, the lines
|
|
573
|
+
of a code block are interpreted literally. Markdown wraps a code block
|
|
574
|
+
in both <code><pre></code> and <code><code></code> tags.</p>
|
|
575
|
+
|
|
576
|
+
<p>To produce a code block in Markdown, simply indent every line of the
|
|
577
|
+
block by at least 4 spaces or 1 tab. For example, given this input:</p>
|
|
578
|
+
|
|
579
|
+
<pre><code>This is a normal paragraph:
|
|
580
|
+
|
|
581
|
+
This is a code block.
|
|
582
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
583
|
+
|
|
584
|
+
<p>Markdown will generate:</p>
|
|
585
|
+
|
|
586
|
+
<pre><code><p>This is a normal paragraph:</p>
|
|
587

<pre><code>This is a code block.

</code></pre>
|
|
591

|
|
592
|
+
<p>One level of indentation — 4 spaces or 1 tab — is removed from each
|
|
593
|
+
line of the code block. For example, this:</p>
|

594
|

|

595

<pre><code>Here is an example of AppleScript:

<p>A code block continues until it reaches a line that is not indented
|

|
+
(or the end of the article).</p>
|
|
614
|

|
|
615
|
+
<p>Within a code block, ampersands (<code>&</code>) and angle brackets (<code><</code> and <code>></code>)
|
|
616
|
+
are automatically converted into HTML entities. This makes it very
|
|
617
|
+
easy to include example HTML source code using Markdown — just paste
|
|
618
|
+
it and indent it, and Markdown will handle the hassle of encoding the
|
|
619
|
+
ampersands and angle brackets. For example, this:</p>
|
|
620
|
+
|
|
621
|
+
<pre><code> <div class="footer">
|
|
622

|
|
623
|

</div>
|
|
624
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
625
|
+
|
|
626
|
+
<p>will turn into:</p>
|
|
627
|
+
|
|
628
|
+
<pre><code><pre><code>&lt;div class="footer"&gt;
|
|
629
|
+
&amp;copy; 2004 Foo Corporation
|

<p>Regular Markdown syntax is not processed within code blocks. E.g.,
|
|
635
|
+
asterisks are just literal asterisks within a code block. This means
|
|
636
|
+
it’s also easy to use Markdown to write about Markdown’s own syntax.</p>

<h3 id="hr">Horizontal Rules</h3>

<p>You can produce a horizontal rule tag (<code><hr /></code>) by placing three or

more hyphens, asterisks, or underscores on a line by themselves. If you

642
|
+
wish, you may use spaces between the hyphens or asterisks. Each of the
|
|
643

following lines will produce a horizontal rule:</p>

<p>Markdown supports two style of links: <em>inline</em> and <em>reference</em>.</p>
|
|
663
|
+
|
|
664
|
+
<p>In both styles, the link text is delimited by [square brackets].</p>
|
|
665
|
+
|
|
666
|
+
<p>To create an inline link, use a set of regular parentheses immediately
|
|
667
|
+
after the link text’s closing square bracket. Inside the parentheses,
|
|
668
|
+
put the URL where you want the link to point, along with an <em>optional</em>
|
|
669
|
+
title for the link, surrounded in quotes. For example:</p>
|
|
670
|
+
|
|
671
|
+
<pre><code>This is [an example](http://example.com/ "Title") inline link.
|
|
672
|
+
|
|
673
|
+
[This link](http://example.net/) has no title attribute.
|
|
674
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
675
|
+
|
|
676
|
+
<p>Will produce:</p>
|
|
677
|
+
|
|
678
|
+
<pre><code><p>This is <a href="http://example.com/" title="Title">
|
|
679
|
+
an example</a> inline link.</p>
|
|
680
|
+
|
|
681
|
+
<p><a href="http://example.net/">This link</a> has no
|
|
682
|
+
title attribute.</p>
|
|
683
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
684
|
+
|
|
685
|
+
<p>If you’re referring to a local resource on the same server, you can
|
|
686
|
+
use relative paths:</p>
|
|
687
|
+
|
|
688
|
+
<pre><code>See my [About](/about/) page for details.
|
|
689
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
690
|
+
|
|
691
|
+
<p>Reference-style links use a second set of square brackets, inside
|
|
692
|
+
which you place a label of your choosing to identify the link:</p>
|
|
693
|
+
|
|
694
|
+
<pre><code>This is [an example][id] reference-style link.
|
|
695
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
696
|
+
|
|
697
|
+
<p>You can optionally use a space to separate the sets of brackets:</p>
|
|
698
|
+
|
|
699
|
+
<pre><code>This is [an example] [id] reference-style link.
|
|
700
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
701
|
+
|
|
702
|
+
<p>Then, anywhere in the document, you define your link label like this,
|
|
703
|
+
on a line by itself:</p>
|
|
704
|
+
|
|
705
|
+
<pre><code>[id]: http://example.com/ "Optional Title Here"
|
|
706
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
707
|
+
|
|
708
|
+
<p>That is:</p>
|
|
709
|
+
|
|
710
|
+
<ul>
|
|
711
|
+
<li>Square brackets containing the link identifier (optionally
|
|
712
|
+
indented from the left margin using up to three spaces);</li>
|
|
713
|
+
<li>followed by a colon;</li>
|
|
714
|
+
<li>followed by one or more spaces (or tabs);</li>
|
|
715
|
+
<li>followed by the URL for the link;</li>
|
|
716
|
+
<li>optionally followed by a title attribute for the link, enclosed
|
|
717
|
+
in double or single quotes, or enclosed in parentheses.</li>
|
|
718
|
+
</ul>
|
|
719
|
+
|
|
720
|
+
<p>The following three link definitions are equivalent:</p>
|
|
721
|
+
|
|
722
|
+
<pre><code>[foo]: http://example.com/ "Optional Title Here"
|
|
723
|
+
[foo]: http://example.com/ 'Optional Title Here'
|
|
724
|
+
[foo]: http://example.com/ (Optional Title Here)
|
|
725
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
726
|
+
|
|
727
|
+
<p><strong>Note:</strong> There is a known bug in Markdown.pl 1.0.1 which prevents
|
|
728
|
+
single quotes from being used to delimit link titles.</p>
|
|
729
|
+
|
|
730
|
+
<p>The link URL may, optionally, be surrounded by angle brackets:</p>
|
|
731
|
+
|
|
732
|
+
<pre><code>[id]: <http://example.com/> "Optional Title Here"
|
|
733
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
734
|
+
|
|
735
|
+
<p>You can put the title attribute on the next line and use extra spaces
|
|
736
|
+
or tabs for padding, which tends to look better with longer URLs:</p>
|
|
737
|
+
|
|
738
|
+
<pre><code>[id]: http://example.com/longish/path/to/resource/here
|
|
739
|
+
"Optional Title Here"
|
|
740
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
741
|
+
|
|
742
|
+
<p>Link definitions are only used for creating links during Markdown
|
|
743
|
+
processing, and are stripped from your document in the HTML output.</p>
|
|
744
|
+
|
|
745
|
+
<p>Link definition names may consist of letters, numbers, spaces, and
|
|
746
|
+
punctuation — but they are <em>not</em> case sensitive. E.g. these two
|
|
747
|
+
links:</p>
|
|
748
|
+
|
|
749
|
+
<pre><code>[link text][a]
|
|
750
|
+
[link text][A]
|
|
751
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
752
|
+
|
|
753
|
+
<p>are equivalent.</p>
|
|
754
|
+
|
|
755
|
+
<p>The <em>implicit link name</em> shortcut allows you to omit the name of the
|
|
756
|
+
link, in which case the link text itself is used as the name.
|
|
757
|
+
Just use an empty set of square brackets — e.g., to link the word
|
|
758
|
+
“Google” to the google.com web site, you could simply write:</p>
|
|
759
|
+
|
|
760
|
+
<pre><code>[Google][]
|
|
761
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
762
|
+
|
|
763
|
+
<p>And then define the link:</p>
|
|
764
|
+
|
|
765
|
+
<pre><code>[Google]: http://google.com/
|
|
766
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
767
|
+
|
|
768
|
+
<p>Because link names may contain spaces, this shortcut even works for
|
|
769
|
+
multiple words in the link text:</p>
|
|
770
|
+
|
|
771
|
+
<pre><code>Visit [Daring Fireball][] for more information.
|
|
772
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
773
|
+
|
|
774
|
+
<p>And then define the link:</p>
|
|
775
|
+
|
|
776
|
+
<pre><code>[Daring Fireball]: http://daringfireball.net/
|
|
777
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
778
|
+
|
|
779
|
+
<p>Link definitions can be placed anywhere in your Markdown document. I
|
|
780
|
+
tend to put them immediately after each paragraph in which they’re
|
|
781
|
+
used, but if you want, you can put them all at the end of your
|
|
782
|
+
document, sort of like footnotes.</p>
|
|
783
|
+
|
|
784
|
+
<p>Here’s an example of reference links in action:</p>
|
|
785
|
+
|
|
786
|
+
<pre><code>I get 10 times more traffic from [Google] [1] than from
|
|
787
|
+
[Yahoo] [2] or [MSN] [3].
|
|
788
|
+
|
|
789
|
+
[1]: http://google.com/ "Google"
|
|
790
|
+
[2]: http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search"
|
|
791
|
+
[3]: http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search"
|
|
792
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
793
|
+
|
|
794
|
+
<p>Using the implicit link name shortcut, you could instead write:</p>
|
|
795
|
+
|
|
796
|
+
<pre><code>I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][] than from
|
|
797
|
+
[Yahoo][] or [MSN][].
|
|
798
|
+
|
|
799
|
+
[google]: http://google.com/ "Google"
|
|
800
|
+
[yahoo]: http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search"
|
|
801
|
+
[msn]: http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search"
|
|
802
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
803
|
+
|
|
804
|
+
<p>Both of the above examples will produce the following HTML output:</p>
|
|
805
|
+
|
|
806
|
+
<pre><code><p>I get 10 times more traffic from <a href="http://google.com/"
|
|
807
|
+
title="Google">Google</a> than from
|
|
808
|
+
<a href="http://search.yahoo.com/" title="Yahoo Search">Yahoo</a>
|
|
809
|
+
or <a href="http://search.msn.com/" title="MSN Search">MSN</a>.</p>
|
|
810
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
811
|
+
|
|
812
|
+
<p>For comparison, here is the same paragraph written using
|
|
813
|
+
Markdown’s inline link style:</p>
|
|
814
|
+
|
|
815
|
+
<pre><code>I get 10 times more traffic from [Google](http://google.com/ "Google")
|
|
816
|
+
than from [Yahoo](http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search") or
|
|
817
|
+
[MSN](http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search").
|
|
818
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
819
|
+
|
|
820
|
+
<p>The point of reference-style links is not that they’re easier to
|
|
821
|
+
write. The point is that with reference-style links, your document
|
|
822
|
+
source is vastly more readable. Compare the above examples: using
|
|
823
|
+
reference-style links, the paragraph itself is only 81 characters
|
|
824
|
+
long; with inline-style links, it’s 176 characters; and as raw HTML,
|
|
825
|
+
it’s 234 characters. In the raw HTML, there’s more markup than there
|
|
826
|
+
is text.</p>
|
|
827
|
+
|
|
828
|
+
<p>With Markdown’s reference-style links, a source document much more
|
|
829
|
+
closely resembles the final output, as rendered in a browser. By
|
|
830
|
+
allowing you to move the markup-related metadata out of the paragraph,
|
|
831
|
+
you can add links without interrupting the narrative flow of your
|
|
832
|
+
prose.</p>
|
|
833
|
+
|
|
834
|
+
<h3 id="em">Emphasis</h3>
|
|
835
|
+
|
|
836
|
+
<p>Markdown treats asterisks (<code>*</code>) and underscores (<code>_</code>) as indicators of
|
|
837
|
+
emphasis. Text wrapped with one <code>*</code> or <code>_</code> will be wrapped with an
|
|
838
|
+
HTML <code><em></code> tag; double <code>*</code>’s or <code>_</code>’s will be wrapped with an HTML
|
|
839
|
+
<code><strong></code> tag. E.g., this input:</p>
|
|
840
|
+
|
|
841
|
+
<pre><code>*single asterisks*
|
|
842
|
+
|
|
843
|
+
_single underscores_
|
|
844
|
+
|
|
845
|
+
**double asterisks**
|
|
846
|
+
|
|
847
|
+
__double underscores__
|
|
848
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
849
|
+
|
|
850
|
+
<p>will produce:</p>
|
|
851
|
+
|
|
852
|
+
<pre><code><em>single asterisks</em>
|
|
853
|
+
|
|
854
|
+
<em>single underscores</em>
|
|
855
|
+
|
|
856
|
+
<strong>double asterisks</strong>
|
|
857
|
+
|
|
858
|
+
<strong>double underscores</strong>
|
|
859
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
860
|
+
|
|
861
|
+
<p>You can use whichever style you prefer; the lone restriction is that
|
|
862
|
+
the same character must be used to open and close an emphasis span.</p>
|
|
863
|
+
|
|
864
|
+
<p>Emphasis can be used in the middle of a word:</p>
|
|
865
|
+
|
|
866
|
+
<pre><code>un*frigging*believable
|
|
867
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
868
|
+
|
|
869
|
+
<p>But if you surround an <code>*</code> or <code>_</code> with spaces, it’ll be treated as a
|
|
870
|
+
literal asterisk or underscore.</p>
|
|
871
|
+
|
|
872
|
+
<p>To produce a literal asterisk or underscore at a position where it
|
|
873
|
+
would otherwise be used as an emphasis delimiter, you can backslash
|
|
874
|
+
escape it:</p>
|
|
875
|
+
|
|
876
|
+
<pre><code>\*this text is surrounded by literal asterisks\*
|
|
877
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
878
|
+
|
|
879
|
+
<h3 id="code">Code</h3>
|
|
880
|
+
|
|
881
|
+
<p>To indicate a span of code, wrap it with backtick quotes (<code>`</code>).
|
|
882
|
+
Unlike a pre-formatted code block, a code span indicates code within a
|
|
883
|
+
normal paragraph. For example:</p>
|
|
884
|
+
|
|
885
|
+
<pre><code>Use the `printf()` function.
|
|
886
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
887
|
+
|
|
888
|
+
<p>will produce:</p>
|
|
889
|
+
|
|
890
|
+
<pre><code><p>Use the <code>printf()</code> function.</p>
|
|
891
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
892
|
+
|
|
893
|
+
<p>To include a literal backtick character within a code span, you can use
|
|
894
|
+
multiple backticks as the opening and closing delimiters:</p>
|
|
895
|
+
|
|
896
|
+
<pre><code>``There is a literal backtick (`) here.``
|
|
897
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
898
|
+
|
|
899
|
+
<p>which will produce this:</p>
|
|
900
|
+
|
|
901
|

</code></pre>
|
|
903
|
+
|
|
904
|
+
<p>The backtick delimiters surrounding a code span may include spaces —
|
|
905
|
+
one after the opening, one before the closing. This allows you to place
|
|
906
|
+
literal backtick characters at the beginning or end of a code span:</p>
|
|
907
|
+
|
|
908
|
+
<pre><code>A single backtick in a code span: `` ` ``
|
|
909
|
+
|
|
910
|
+
A backtick-delimited string in a code span: `` `foo` ``
|
|
911
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
912
|
+
|
|
913
|
+
<p>will produce:</p>
|
|
914
|
+
|
|
915
|
+
<pre><code><p>A single backtick in a code span: <code>`</code></p>
|
|
916
|
+
|
|
917
|
+
<p>A backtick-delimited string in a code span: <code>`foo`</code></p>
|
|
918
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
919
|
+
|
|
920
|
+
<p>With a code span, ampersands and angle brackets are encoded as HTML
|
|
921
|
+
entities automatically, which makes it easy to include example HTML
|
|
922
|
+
tags. Markdown will turn this:</p>
|
|
923
|
+
|
|
924
|
+
<pre><code>Please don't use any `<blink>` tags.
|
|
925
|

</code></pre>
|
|
926
|
+
|

927
|

<p>into:</p>
|

928
|

|
|
929
|
+
<pre><code><p>Please don't use any <code>&lt;blink&gt;</code> tags.</p>
|
|
930
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
931
|
+
|
|
932
|
+
<p>You can write this:</p>
|
|
933
|
+
|
|
934
|
+
<pre><code>`&#8212;` is the decimal-encoded equivalent of `&mdash;`.
|
|
935
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
936
|
+
|
|
937
|
+
<p>to produce:</p>
|
|
938
|
+
|
|
939
|
+
<pre><code><p><code>&amp;#8212;</code> is the decimal-encoded
|
|
940
|
+
equivalent of <code>&amp;mdash;</code>.</p>
|
|
941

<h3 id="img">Images</h3>
|

|
+
|
|
945
|
+
<p>Admittedly, it’s fairly difficult to devise a “natural” syntax for
|
|
946
|
+
placing images into a plain text document format.</p>
|
|
947
|
+
|
|
948
|
+
<p>Markdown uses an image syntax that is intended to resemble the syntax
|
|
949
|
+
for links, allowing for two styles: <em>inline</em> and <em>reference</em>.</p>
|
|
950
|
+
|
|
951
|
+
<p>Inline image syntax looks like this:</p>
|
|
952
|
+
|
|
953
|
+
<pre><code>
|
|
954
|
+
|
|
955
|
+
|
|
956
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
957
|
+
|
|
958
|
+
<p>That is:</p>
|
|
959
|
+
|
|
960
|
+
<ul>
|
|
961
|
+
<li>An exclamation mark: <code>!</code>;</li>
|
|
962
|
+
<li>followed by a set of square brackets, containing the <code>alt</code>
|
|
963
|
+
attribute text for the image;</li>
|
|
964
|
+
<li>followed by a set of parentheses, containing the URL or path to
|
|
965
|
+
the image, and an optional <code>title</code> attribute enclosed in double
|
|
966
|
+
or single quotes.</li>
|
|
967
|
+
</ul>
|
|
968
|
+
|
|
969
|
+
<p>Reference-style image syntax looks like this:</p>
|
|
970
|
+
|
|
971
|
+
<pre><code>![Alt text][id]
|
|
972
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
973
|
+
|
|
974
|
+
<p>Where “id” is the name of a defined image reference. Image references
|
|
975
|
+
are defined using syntax identical to link references:</p>
|
|
976
|
+
|
|
977
|
+
<pre><code>[id]: url/to/image "Optional title attribute"
|
|
978
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
979
|
+
|
|
980
|
+
<p>As of this writing, Markdown has no syntax for specifying the
|
|
981
|
+
dimensions of an image; if this is important to you, you can simply
|
|
982
|
+
use regular HTML <code><img></code> tags.</p>
|
|
983
|
+
|

|
+
<h3 id="autolink">Automatic Links</h3>
|
|
989
|
+
|
|
990
|
+
<p>Markdown supports a shortcut style for creating “automatic” links for URLs and email addresses: simply surround the URL or email address with angle brackets. What this means is that if you want to show the actual text of a URL or email address, and also have it be a clickable link, you can do this:</p>
|
|
991
|
+
|
|
992
|
+
<pre><code><http://example.com/>
|
|
993
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
994
|
+
|
|
995
|
+
<p>Markdown will turn this into:</p>
|
|
996
|
+
|
|
997
|
+
<pre><code><a href="http://example.com/">http://example.com/</a>
|
|
998
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
999
|
+
|
|
1000
|
+
<p>Automatic links for email addresses work similarly, except that
|
|
1001
|
+
Markdown will also perform a bit of randomized decimal and hex
|
|
1002
|
+
entity-encoding to help obscure your address from address-harvesting
|
|
1003
|
+
spambots. For example, Markdown will turn this:</p>
|
|
1004
|
+
|
|
1005
|
+
<pre><code><address@example.com>
|
|
1006
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
1007
|
+
|
|
1008
|
+
<p>into something like this:</p>
|
|
1009
|
+
|
|
1010
|
+
<pre><code><a href="&#x6D;&#x61;i&#x6C;&#x74;&#x6F;:&#x61;&#x64;&#x64;&#x72;&#x65;
|
|
1011
|
+
&#115;&#115;&#64;&#101;&#120;&#x61;&#109;&#x70;&#x6C;e&#x2E;&#99;&#111;
|
|
1012
|
+
&#109;">&#x61;&#x64;&#x64;&#x72;&#x65;&#115;&#115;&#64;&#101;&#120;&#x61;
|
|
1013
|
+
&#109;&#x70;&#x6C;e&#x2E;&#99;&#111;&#109;</a>
|
|
1014
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
1015
|
+
|
|
1016
|
+
<p>which will render in a browser as a clickable link to “address@example.com”.</p>
|
|
1017
|
+
|
|
1018
|
+
<p>(This sort of entity-encoding trick will indeed fool many, if not
|
|
1019
|
+
most, address-harvesting bots, but it definitely won’t fool all of
|
|
1020
|
+
them. It’s better than nothing, but an address published in this way
|
|
1021
|
+
will probably eventually start receiving spam.)</p>

<h3 id="backslash">Backslash Escapes</h3>
|
|
1024
|
+
|
|
1025
|
+
<p>Markdown allows you to use backslash escapes to generate literal
|
|
1026
|
+
characters which would otherwise have special meaning in Markdown’s
|
|
1027
|
+
formatting syntax. For example, if you wanted to surround a word
|
|
1028
|
+
with literal asterisks (instead of an HTML <code><em></code> tag), you can use
|
|
1029
|
+
backslashes before the asterisks, like this:</p>
|
|
1030
|
+
|
|
1031
|
+
<pre><code>\*literal asterisks\*
|
|
1032
|
+
</code></pre>
|
|
1033
|
+
|
|
1034
|
+
<p>Markdown provides backslash escapes for the following characters:</p>
|
|
1035
|
+
|
|
1036
|
+
<pre><code>\ backslash
|
|
1037
|
+
` backtick
|
|
1038
|
+
* asterisk
|
|
1039
|
+
_ underscore
|
|
1040
|
+
{} curly braces
|
|
1041
|
+
[] square brackets
|
|
1042
|
+
() parentheses
|
|
1043
|
+
# hash mark
|
|
1044
|
+
+ plus sign
|
|
1045
|
+
- minus sign (hyphen)
|
|
1046
|
+
. dot
|
|
1047
|
+
! exclamation mark
