(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.</p> + +<p>Markdown offers two styles of headers: <em>Setext</em> and <em>atx</em>. +Setext-style headers for <code><h1></code> and <code><h2></code> are created by +"underlining" with equal signs (<code>=</code>) and hyphens (<code>-</code>), respectively. +To create an atx-style header, you put 1-6 hash marks (<code>#</code>) at the +beginning of the line -- the number of hashes equals the resulting +HTML header level.</p> + +<p>Blockquotes are indicated using email-style '<code>></code>' angle brackets.</p> + +<p>Markdown:</p> + +<pre><code>A First Level Header +==================== + +A Second Level Header +--------------------- + +Now is the time for all good men to come to +the aid of their country.

You can create multi-paragraph list items by indenting +the paragraphs by 4 spaces or 1 tab:</p> + +<pre><code>* A list item. + + With multiple paragraphs. + +* Another item in the list. +</code></pre> + +<p>Output:</p> + +<pre><code><ul> +<li><p>A list item.</p> +<p>With multiple paragraphs.</p></li> +<li><p>Another item in the list.</p></li> +</ul> +</code></pre> + +<h3>Links</h3> + +<p>Markdown supports two styles for creating links: <em>inline</em> and +<em>reference</em>. With both styles, you use square brackets to delimit the +text you want to turn into a link.</p> + +<p>Inline-style links use parentheses immediately after the link text. +For example:</p> + +<pre><code>This is an [example link](http://example.com/). +</code></pre> + +<p>Output:</p> + +<pre><code><p>This is an <a href="http://example.com/"> +example link</a>.</p> +</code></pre> + +<p>Optionally, you may include a title attribute in the parentheses:</p> + +<pre><code>This is an [example link](http://example.com/ "With a Title"). +</code></pre> + +<p>Output:</p> + +<pre><code><p>This is an <a href="http://example.com/" title="With a Title"> +example link</a>.</p> +</code></pre> + +<p>Reference-style links allow you to refer to your links by names, which +you define elsewhere in your document:</p> + +<pre><code>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" +</code></pre> + +<p>Output:</p> + +<pre><code><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> +</code></pre> + +<p>The title attribute is optional. Link names may contain letters, +numbers and spaces, but are <em>not</em> case sensitive:</p> + +<pre><code>I start my morning with a cup of coffee and +[The New York Times][NY Times]. + +[ny times]: http://www.nytimes.com/ +</code></pre> + +<p>Output:</p> + +<pre><code><p>I start my morning with a cup of coffee and +<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/">The New York Times</a>.</p> +</code></pre> + +<h3>Images</h3> + +<p>Image syntax is very much like link syntax.</p> + +<p>Inline (titles are optional):</p> + +<pre><code> +</code></pre> + +<p>Reference-style:</p> + +<pre><code>![alt text][id] + +[id]: /path/to/img.jpg "Title" +</code></pre> + +<p>Both of the above examples produce the same output:</p> + +<pre><code><img src="/path/to/img.jpg" alt="alt text" title="Title" /> +</code></pre> + +<h3>Code</h3> + +<p>In a regular paragraph, you can create code span by wrapping text in +backtick quotes. Any ampersands (<code>&</code>) and angle brackets (<code><</code> or +<code>></code>) will automatically be translated into HTML entities. This makes +it easy to use Markdown to write about HTML example code:</p> + +<pre><code>I strongly recommend against using any `<blink>` tags. + +I wish SmartyPants used named entities like `&mdash;` +instead of decimal-encoded entites like `&#8212;`. +</code></pre> + +<p>Output:</p> + +<pre><code><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> +</code></pre> + +<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, <code>&</code>, <code><</code>, +and <code>></code> characters will be escaped automatically.</p> + +<p>Markdown:</p> + +<pre><code>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> +</code></pre> + +<p>Output:</p> + +<pre><code><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> +</code></pre> |
