+ <h2>Getting the Gist of Markdown's Formatting Syntax</h2>
12
+
13
+ <p>This page offers a brief overview of what it's like to use Markdown.
14
+ The <a href="/projects/markdown/syntax" title="Markdown Syntax">syntax page</a> provides complete, detailed documentation for
15
+ every feature, but Markdown should be very easy to pick up simply by
16
+ looking at a few examples of it in action. The examples on this page
17
+ are written in a before/after style, showing example syntax and the
18
+ HTML output produced by Markdown.</p>
19
+
20
+ <p>It's also helpful to simply try Markdown out; the <a href="/projects/markdown/dingus" title="Markdown Dingus">Dingus</a> is a
21
+ web application that allows you type your own Markdown-formatted text
22
+ and translate it to XHTML.</p>
23
+
24
+ <p><strong>Note:</strong> This document is itself written using Markdown; you
25
+ can <a href="/projects/markdown/basics.text">see the source for it by adding '.text' to the URL</a>.</p>
26
+
27
+ <h2>Paragraphs, Headers, Blockquotes</h2>
28
+
29
+ <p>A paragraph is simply one or more consecutive lines of text, separated
30
+ by one or more blank lines. (A blank line is any line that looks like a
31
+ blank line -- a line containing nothing spaces or tabs is considered
32
+ blank.) Normal paragraphs should not be intended with spaces or tabs.</p>
33
+
34
+ <p>Markdown offers two styles of headers: <em>Setext</em> and <em>atx</em>.
35
+ Setext-style headers for <code>&lt;h1&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;h2&gt;</code> are created by
36
+ "underlining" with equal signs (<code>=</code>) and hyphens (<code>-</code>), respectively.
37
+ To create an atx-style header, you put 1-6 hash marks (<code>#</code>) at the
38
+ beginning of the line -- the number of hashes equals the resulting
39
+ HTML header level.</p>
40
+
41
+ <p>Blockquotes are indicated using email-style '<code>&gt;</code>' angle brackets.</p>
42
+
43
+ <p>Markdown:</p>
44
+
45
+ <pre><code>A First Level Header

66

89
+ </code></pre>

+
91
+ <h3>Phrase Emphasis</h3>
92
+
93
+ <p>Markdown uses asterisks and underscores to indicate spans of emphasis.</p>
94
+
95
+ <p>Markdown:</p>
96
+
97
+ <pre><code>Some of these words *are emphasized*.
98
+ Some of these words _are emphasized also_.
99
+
100
+ Use two asterisks for **strong emphasis**.
101
+ Or, if you prefer, __use two underscores instead__.
102
+ </code></pre>
103
+
104
+ <p>Output:</p>
105
+
106
+ <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;Some of these words &lt;em&gt;are emphasized&lt;/em&gt;.
107
+ Some of these words &lt;em&gt;are emphasized also&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
108
+
109
+ &lt;p&gt;Use two asterisks for &lt;strong&gt;strong emphasis&lt;/strong&gt;.
110
+ Or, if you prefer, &lt;strong&gt;use two underscores instead&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
111
+ </code></pre>
112
+
113
+ <h2>Lists</h2>
114
+
115
+ <p>Unordered (bulleted) lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens (<code>*</code>,
116
+ <code>+</code>, and <code>-</code>) as list markers. These three markers are
117
+ interchangable; this:</p>
118
+
119
+ <pre><code>* Candy.
120
+ * Gum.
121
+ * Booze.
122
+ </code></pre>
123
+
124
+ <p>this:</p>
125
+
126
+ <pre><code>+ Candy.
127
+ + Gum.
128
+ + Booze.
129
+ </code></pre>
130
+
131
+ <p>and this:</p>
132
+
133
+ <pre><code>- Candy.
134
+ - Gum.
135
+ - Booze.
136
+ </code></pre>
137
+
138
+ <p>all produce the same output:</p>
139
+
140
+ <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt;
141
+ &lt;li&gt;Candy.&lt;/li&gt;
142
+ &lt;li&gt;Gum.&lt;/li&gt;
143
+ &lt;li&gt;Booze.&lt;/li&gt;
144
+ &lt;/ul&gt;
145
+ </code></pre>
146
+
147
+ <p>Ordered (numbered) lists use regular numbers, followed by periods, as
148
+ list markers:</p>
149
+
150
+ <pre><code>1. Red
151
+ 2. Green
152
+ 3. Blue
153
+ </code></pre>
154
+
155
+ <p>Output:</p>
156
+
157
+ <pre><code>&lt;ol&gt;
158
+ &lt;li&gt;Red&lt;/li&gt;
159
+ &lt;li&gt;Green&lt;/li&gt;
160
+ &lt;li&gt;Blue&lt;/li&gt;
161
+ &lt;/ol&gt;
162
+ </code></pre>
163
+
164
+ <p>If you put blank lines between items, you'll get <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> tags for the
165
+ list item text. You can create multi-paragraph list items by indenting
166
+ the paragraphs by 4 spaces or 1 tab:</p>
167
+
168
+ <pre><code>* A list item.
169
+
170
+ With multiple paragraphs.
171
+
172
+ * Another item in the list.
173
+ </code></pre>
174
+
175
+ <p>Output:</p>
176
+
177
+ <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt;
178
+ &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;A list item.&lt;/p&gt;
179
+ &lt;p&gt;With multiple paragraphs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
180
+ &lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another item in the list.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
181
+ &lt;/ul&gt;
182
+ </code></pre>
183
+
184
+ <h3>Links</h3>
185
+
186
+ <p>Markdown supports two styles for creating links: <em>inline</em> and
187
+ <em>reference</em>. With both styles, you use square brackets to delimit the
188
+ text you want to turn into a link.</p>
189
+
190
+ <p>Inline-style links use parentheses immediately after the link text.
191
+ For example:</p>
192
+
193
+ <pre><code>This is an [example link](http://example.com/).
194
+ </code></pre>
195
+
196
+ <p>Output:</p>
197
+
198
+ <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;This is an &lt;a href="http://example.com/"&gt;
199
+ example link&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
200
+ </code></pre>
201
+
202
+ <p>Optionally, you may include a title attribute in the parentheses:</p>
203
+
204
+ <pre><code>This is an [example link](http://example.com/ "With a Title").
205
+ </code></pre>
206
+
207
+ <p>Output:</p>
208
+
209
+ <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;This is an &lt;a href="http://example.com/" title="With a Title"&gt;
210
+ example link&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
211
+ </code></pre>
212
+
213
+ <p>Reference-style links allow you to refer to your links by names, which
214
+ you define elsewhere in your document:</p>
215
+
216
+ <pre><code>I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][1] than from
217
+ [Yahoo][2] or [MSN][3].
218
+
219
+ [1]: http://google.com/ "Google"
220
+ [2]: http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search"
221
+ [3]: http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search"
222
+ </code></pre>
223
+
224
+ <p>Output:</p>
225
+
226
+ <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;I get 10 times more traffic from &lt;a href="http://google.com/"
227
+ title="Google"&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; than from &lt;a href="http://search.yahoo.com/"
228
+ title="Yahoo Search"&gt;Yahoo&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://search.msn.com/"
229
+ title="MSN Search"&gt;MSN&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
230
+ </code></pre>
231
+
232
+ <p>The title attribute is optional. Link names may contain letters,
233
+ numbers and spaces, but are <em>not</em> case sensitive:</p>
234
+
235
+ <pre><code>I start my morning with a cup of coffee and
236
+ [The New York Times][NY Times].
237
+

13
+ Getting the Gist of Markdown's Formatting Syntax
14
+ ------------------------------------------------
15
+
16
+ This page offers a brief overview of what it's like to use Markdown.
17
+ The [syntax page] [s] provides complete, detailed documentation for
18
+ every feature, but Markdown should be very easy to pick up simply by
19
+ looking at a few examples of it in action. The examples on this page
20
+ are written in a before/after style, showing example syntax and the
21
+ HTML output produced by Markdown.
22
+
23
+ It's also helpful to simply try Markdown out; the [Dingus] [d] is a
24
+ web application that allows you type your own Markdown-formatted text
25
+ and translate it to XHTML.
26
+
27
+ **Note:** This document is itself written using Markdown; you
28
+ can [see the source for it by adding '.text' to the URL] [src].

+
35
+ ## Paragraphs, Headers, Blockquotes ##
36
+
37
+ A paragraph is simply one or more consecutive lines of text, separated
38
+ by one or more blank lines. (A blank line is any line that looks like a
39
+ blank line -- a line containing nothing spaces or tabs is considered
40
+ blank.) Normal paragraphs should not be intended with spaces or tabs.
41
+
42
+ Markdown offers two styles of headers: *Setext* and *atx*.
43
+ Setext-style headers for `<h1>` and `<h2>` are created by
44
+ "underlining" with equal signs (`=`) and hyphens (`-`), respectively.
45
+ To create an atx-style header, you put 1-6 hash marks (`#`) at the
46
+ beginning of the line -- the number of hashes equals the resulting
47
+ HTML header level.
48
+
49
+ Blockquotes are indicated using email-style '`>`' angle brackets.
50
+
51
+ Markdown:
52
+
53
+ A First Level Header
54
+ ====================
55
+
56
+ A Second Level Header
57
+ ---------------------
58
+
59
+ Now is the time for all good men to come to
60
+ the aid of their country. This is just a
61
+ regular paragraph.
62
+

+ The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
64
+ dog's back.

73

75
+ Output:

+
77

78
+

96

97
+
98

+
100
+ ### Phrase Emphasis ###
101
+
102
+ Markdown uses asterisks and underscores to indicate spans of emphasis.
103
+
104
+ Markdown:
105
+
106
+ Some of these words *are emphasized*.
107
+ Some of these words _are emphasized also_.
108
+
109
+ Use two asterisks for **strong emphasis**.
110
+ Or, if you prefer, __use two underscores instead__.
111
+
112
+ Output:
113
+
114
+ <p>Some of these words <em>are emphasized</em>.
115
+ Some of these words <em>are emphasized also</em>.</p>
116
+
117
+ <p>Use two asterisks for <strong>strong emphasis</strong>.
118
+ Or, if you prefer, <strong>use two underscores instead</strong>.</p>
119
+
120
+
121
+
122
+ ## Lists ##
123
+
124
+ Unordered (bulleted) lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens (`*`,
125
+ `+`, and `-`) as list markers. These three markers are
126
+ interchangable; this:
127
+
128
+ * Candy.
129
+ * Gum.
130
+ * Booze.
131
+
132
+ this:
133
+
134
+ + Candy.
135
+ + Gum.
136
+ + Booze.
137
+
138
+ and this:
139
+
140
+ - Candy.
141
+ - Gum.
142
+ - Booze.
143
+
144
+ all produce the same output:
145
+
146
+ <ul>
147
+ <li>Candy.</li>
148
+ <li>Gum.</li>
149
+ <li>Booze.</li>
150
+ </ul>
151
+
152
+ Ordered (numbered) lists use regular numbers, followed by periods, as
153
+ list markers:
154
+
155
+ 1. Red
156
+ 2. Green
157
+ 3. Blue
158
+
159
+ Output:
160
+
161
+ <ol>
162
+ <li>Red</li>
163
+ <li>Green</li>
164
+ <li>Blue</li>
165
+ </ol>
166
+
167
+ If you put blank lines between items, you'll get `<p>` tags for the
168
+ list item text. You can create multi-paragraph list items by indenting
169
+ the paragraphs by 4 spaces or 1 tab:
170
+
171
+ * A list item.
172
+
173
+ With multiple paragraphs.
174
+
175
+ * Another item in the list.
176
+
177
+ Output:
178
+
179
+ <ul>
180
+ <li><p>A list item.</p>
181
+ <p>With multiple paragraphs.</p></li>
182
+ <li><p>Another item in the list.</p></li>
183
+ </ul>
184
+
185
+
186
+
187
+ ### Links ###
188
+
189
+ Markdown supports two styles for creating links: *inline* and
190
+ *reference*. With both styles, you use square brackets to delimit the
191
+ text you want to turn into a link.
192
+
193
+ Inline-style links use parentheses immediately after the link text.
194
+ For example:
195
+
196
+ This is an [example link](http://example.com/).
197
+
198
+ Output:
199
+
200
+ <p>This is an <a href="http://example.com/">
201
+ example link</a>.</p>
202
+
203
+ Optionally, you may include a title attribute in the parentheses:
204
+
205
+ This is an [example link](http://example.com/ "With a Title").
206
+
207
+ Output:
208
+
209
+ <p>This is an <a href="http://example.com/" title="With a Title">
210
+ example link</a>.</p>
211
+
212
+ Reference-style links allow you to refer to your links by names, which
213
+ you define elsewhere in your document:
214
+
215
+ I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][1] than from
216
+ [Yahoo][2] or [MSN][3].
217
+
218
+ [1]: http://google.com/ "Google"
219
+ [2]: http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search"
220
+ [3]: http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search"
221
+
222
+ Output:
223
+
224
+ <p>I get 10 times more traffic from <a href="http://google.com/"
225
+ title="Google">Google</a> than from <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/"
226
+ title="Yahoo Search">Yahoo</a> or <a href="http://search.msn.com/"
227
+ title="MSN Search">MSN</a>.</p>
228
+
229
+ The title attribute is optional. Link names may contain letters,
230
+ numbers and spaces, but are *not* case sensitive:
231
+
232
+ I start my morning with a cup of coffee and
233
+ [The New York Times][NY Times].
234
+
235
+ [ny times]: http://www.nytimes.com/
236
+
237
+ Output:
238
+
239
+ <p>I start my morning with a cup of coffee and
240
+ <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/">The New York Times</a>.</p>
241
+
242
+
243
+ ### Images ###
244
+
245
+ Image syntax is very much like link syntax.
246
+
247
+ Inline (titles are optional):
248
+
249
+ ![alt text](/path/to/img.jpg "Title")
250
+
251
+ Reference-style:
252
+
253
+ ![alt text][id]
254
+
255
+ [id]: /path/to/img.jpg "Title"
256
+
257
+ Both of the above examples produce the same output:
258
+
259
+ <img src="/path/to/img.jpg" alt="alt text" title="Title" />
260
+
261
+
262
+
263
+ ### Code ###
264
+
265
+ In a regular paragraph, you can create code span by wrapping text in
266
+ backtick quotes. Any ampersands (`&`) and angle brackets (`<` or
267
+ `>`) will automatically be translated into HTML entities. This makes
268
+ it easy to use Markdown to write about HTML example code:
269
+
270
+ I strongly recommend against using any `<blink>` tags.
271
+
272
+ I wish SmartyPants used named entities like `&mdash;`
273
+ instead of decimal-encoded entites like `&#8212;`.
274
+
275
+ Output:
276
+
277
+ <p>I strongly recommend against using any
278
+ <code>&lt;blink&gt;</code> tags.</p>
279
+
280
+ <p>I wish SmartyPants used named entities like
281
+ <code>&amp;mdash;</code> instead of decimal-encoded
282
+ entites like <code>&amp;#8212;</code>.</p>
283
+
284
+
285
+ To specify an entire block of pre-formatted code, indent every line of
286
+ the block by 4 spaces or 1 tab. Just like with code spans, `&`, `<`,
287
+ and `>` characters will be escaped automatically.
288
+
289
