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]. + + [s]: /projects/markdown/syntax "Markdown Syntax" + [d]: /projects/markdown/dingus "Markdown Dingus" + [src]: /projects/markdown/basics.text + + +## 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.

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): + +  + +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 `—` + instead of decimal-encoded entites like `—`. + +Output: + + <p>I strongly recommend against using any + <code><blink></code> tags.</p> + + <p>I wish SmartyPants used named entities like + <code>&mdash;</code> instead of decimal-encoded + entites like <code>&#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><blockquote> + <p>For example.</p> + </blockquote> + </code></pre> |
