+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 spaces or tabs is considered
+blank.) Normal paragraphs should not be intended 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>
