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].
|
||||
|
||||
[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. 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):
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
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><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>
|
||||
|
||||

<h2>Getting the Gist of Markdown's Formatting Syntax</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This page offers a brief overview of what it's like to use Markdown.
|
||||
The <a href="/projects/markdown/syntax" title="Markdown Syntax">syntax page</a> 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.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It's also helpful to simply try Markdown out; the <a href="/projects/markdown/dingus" title="Markdown Dingus">Dingus</a> is a
|
||||
web application that allows you type your own Markdown-formatted text
|
||||
and translate it to XHTML.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This document is itself written using Markdown; you
|
||||
can <a href="/projects/markdown/basics.text">see the source for it by adding '.text' to the URL</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Paragraphs, Headers, Blockquotes</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>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.</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. 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
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Output:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><h1>A First Level Header</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>A Second Level Header</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Now is the time for all good men to come to

||||
regular paragraph.</p>
|

||||

|

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<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>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Phrase Emphasis</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown uses asterisks and underscores to indicate spans of emphasis.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>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__.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Output:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><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>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Lists</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Unordered (bulleted) lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens (<code>*</code>,
|
||||
<code>+</code>, and <code>-</code>) as list markers. These three markers are
|
||||
interchangable; this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>* Candy.
|
||||
* Gum.
|
||||
* Booze.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>+ Candy.
|
||||
+ Gum.
|
||||
+ Booze.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>and this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>- Candy.
|
||||
- Gum.
|
||||
- Booze.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>all produce the same output:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><ul>
|
||||
<li>Candy.</li>
|
||||
<li>Gum.</li>
|
||||
<li>Booze.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Ordered (numbered) lists use regular numbers, followed by periods, as
|
||||
list markers:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>1. Red
|
||||
2. Green
|
||||
3. Blue
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Output:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><ol>
|
||||
<li>Red</li>
|
||||
<li>Green</li>
|
||||
<li>Blue</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you put blank lines between items, you'll get <code><p></code> tags for the
|
||||
list item text. 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>
|
||||

|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Images</h3>

|

|
||||
|
||||
<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

|
||||
instead of decimal-encoded entites like `&amp;#8212;`.

|

|

Markdown is intended to be as easy-to-read and easy-to-write as is feasible.
|
||||
|
||||
Readability, however, is emphasized above all else. A Markdown-formatted
|
||||
document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking
|
||||
like it's been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While
|
||||
Markdown's syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML
|
||||
filters -- including [Setext] [1], [atx] [2], [Textile] [3], [reStructuredText] [4],
|
||||
[Grutatext] [5], and [EtText] [6] -- the single biggest source of
|
||||
inspiration for Markdown's syntax is the format of plain text email.

||||

|
||||
[6]: http://ettext.taint.org/doc/
|
||||
|
||||
To this end, Markdown's syntax is comprised entirely of punctuation
|
||||
characters, which punctuation characters have been carefully chosen so
|
||||
as to look like what they mean. E.g., asterisks around a word actually
|
||||
look like \*emphasis\*. Markdown lists look like, well, lists. Even
|
||||
blockquotes look like quoted passages of text, assuming you've ever
|
||||
used email.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="html">Inline HTML</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown's syntax is intended for one purpose: to be used as a
|
||||
format for *writing* for the web.
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its
|
||||
syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of
|
||||
HTML tags. The idea is *not* to create a syntax that makes it easier
|
||||
to insert HTML tags. In my opinion, HTML tags are already easy to
|
||||
insert. The idea for Markdown is to make it easy to read, write, and
|
||||
edit prose. HTML is a *publishing* format; Markdown is a *writing*
|
||||
format. Thus, Markdown's formatting syntax only addresses issues that
|
||||
can be conveyed in plain text.
|
||||
|
||||
For any markup that is not covered by Markdown's syntax, you simply
|
||||
use HTML itself. There's no need to preface it or delimit it to
|
||||
indicate that you're switching from Markdown to HTML; you just use
|
||||
the tags.
|
||||
|
||||
The only restrictions are that block-level HTML elements -- e.g. `<div>`,
|
||||
`<table>`, `<pre>`, `<p>`, etc. -- must be separated from surrounding
|
||||
content by blank lines, and the start and end tags of the block should
|
||||
not be indented with tabs or spaces. Markdown is smart enough not
|
||||
to add extra (unwanted) `<p>` tags around HTML block-level tags.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, to add an HTML table to a Markdown article:
|
||||
|
||||
This is a regular paragraph.
|
||||
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td>Foo</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
This is another regular paragraph.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that Markdown formatting syntax is not processed within block-level
|
||||
HTML tags. E.g., you can't use Markdown-style `*emphasis*` inside an
|
||||
HTML block.
|
||||
|
||||
Span-level HTML tags -- e.g. `<span>`, `<cite>`, or `<del>` -- can be
|
||||
used anywhere in a Markdown paragraph, list item, or header. If you
|
||||
want, you can even use HTML tags instead of Markdown formatting; e.g. if
|
||||
you'd prefer to use HTML `<a>` or `<img>` tags instead of Markdown's
|
||||
link or image syntax, go right ahead.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike block-level HTML tags, Markdown syntax *is* processed within
|
||||
span-level tags.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="autoescape">Automatic Escaping for Special Characters</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
In HTML, there are two characters that demand special treatment: `<`
|
||||
and `&`. Left angle brackets are used to start tags; ampersands are
|
||||
used to denote HTML entities. If you want to use them as literal
|
||||
characters, you must escape them as entities, e.g. `<`, and
|
||||
`&`.
|
||||
|
||||
Ampersands in particular are bedeviling for web writers. If you want to
|
||||
write about 'AT&T', you need to write '`AT&T`'. You even need to
|
||||
escape ampersands within URLs. Thus, if you want to link to:
|
||||
|
||||
http://images.google.com/images?num=30&q=larry+bird
|
||||
|
||||
you need to encode the URL as:
|
||||
|
||||
http://images.google.com/images?num=30&q=larry+bird
|
||||
|
||||
in your anchor tag `href` attribute. Needless to say, this is easy to
|
||||
forget, and is probably the single most common source of HTML validation
|
||||
errors in otherwise well-marked-up web sites.
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown allows you to use these characters naturally, taking care of
|
||||
all the necessary escaping for you. If you use an ampersand as part of
|
||||
an HTML entity, it remains unchanged; otherwise it will be translated
|
||||
into `&`.
|
||||
|
||||
So, if you want to include a copyright symbol in your article, you can write:
|
||||
|
||||
©
|
||||
|
||||
and Markdown will leave it alone. But if you write:
|
||||
|
||||
AT&T
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown will translate it to:
|
||||
|
||||
AT&T
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, because Markdown supports [inline HTML](#html), if you use
|
||||
angle brackets as delimiters for HTML tags, Markdown will treat them as
|
||||
such. But if you write:
|
||||
|
||||
4 < 5
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown will translate it to:
|
||||
|
||||
4 < 5
|
||||
|
||||
However, inside Markdown code spans and blocks, angle brackets and
|
||||
ampersands are *always* encoded automatically. This makes it easy to use
|
||||
Markdown to write about HTML code. (As opposed to raw HTML, which is a
|
||||
terrible format for writing about HTML syntax, because every single `<`
|
||||
and `&` in your example code needs to be escaped.)
|
||||
|
||||
|

<h2 id="block">Block Elements</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="p">Paragraphs and Line Breaks</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
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 but spaces or tabs is considered
|
||||
blank.) Normal paragraphs should not be intended with spaces or tabs.
|
||||
|
||||
The implication of the "one or more consecutive lines of text" rule is
|
||||
that Markdown supports "hard-wrapped" text paragraphs. This differs
|
||||
significantly from most other text-to-HTML formatters (including Movable
|
||||
Type's "Convert Line Breaks" option) which translate every line break
|
||||
character in a paragraph into a `<br />` tag.
|
||||
|
||||
When you *do* want to insert a `<br />` break tag using Markdown, you
|
||||
end a line with two or more spaces, then type return.
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, this takes a tad more effort to create a `<br />`, but a simplistic
|
||||
"every line break is a `<br />`" rule wouldn't work for Markdown.
|
||||
Markdown's email-style [blockquoting][bq] and multi-paragraph [list items][l]
|
||||
work best -- and look better -- when you format them with hard breaks.
|
||||
|
||||
[bq]: #blockquote
|
||||
[l]: #list
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="header">Headers</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown supports two styles of headers, [Setext] [1] and [atx] [2].
|
||||
|
||||
Setext-style headers are "underlined" using equal signs (for first-level
|
||||
headers) and dashes (for second-level headers). For example:
|
||||
|
||||
This is an H1
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
This is an H2
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Any number of underlining `=`'s or `-`'s will work.
|
||||
|
||||
Atx-style headers use 1-6 hash characters at the start of the line,
|
||||
corresponding to header levels 1-6. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
# This is an H1
|
||||
|
||||
## This is an H2
|
||||
|
||||
###### This is an H6
|
||||
|
||||
Optionally, you may "close" atx-style headers. This is purely
|
||||
cosmetic -- you can use this if you think it looks better. The
|
||||
closing hashes don't even need to match the number of hashes
|
||||
used to open the header. (The number of opening hashes
|
||||
determines the header level.) :
|
||||
|
||||
# This is an H1 #
|
||||
|
||||
## This is an H2 ##
|
||||
|
||||
### This is an H3 ######
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="blockquote">Blockquotes</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown uses email-style `>` characters for blockquoting. If you're
|
||||
familiar with quoting passages of text in an email message, then you
|
||||
know how to create a blockquote in Markdown. It looks best if you hard
|
||||
wrap the text and put a `>` before every line:
|
||||
|
||||
> This is a blockquote with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
|
||||
> consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus.
|
||||
> Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse
|
||||
> id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown allows you to be lazy and only put the `>` before the first
|
||||
line of a hard-wrapped paragraph:
|
||||
|
||||
> This is a blockquote with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
|
||||
consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus.
|
||||
Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
|
||||
|
||||
> Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse
|
||||
id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
||||
|
||||
Blockquotes can be nested (i.e. a blockquote-in-a-blockquote) by
|
||||
adding additional levels of `>`:
|
||||
|
||||
> This is the first level of quoting.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> > This is nested blockquote.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Back to the first level.
|
||||
|
||||
Blockquotes can contain other Markdown elements, including headers, lists,
|
||||
and code blocks:
|
||||
|
||||
> ## This is a header.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> 1. This is the first list item.
|
||||
> 2. This is the second list item.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Here's some example code:
|
||||
>
|
||||
> return shell_exec("echo $input | $markdown_script");
|
||||
|
||||
Any decent text editor should make email-style quoting easy. For
|
||||
example, with BBEdit, you can make a selection and choose Increase
|
||||
Quote Level from the Text menu.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="list">Lists</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown supports ordered (numbered) and unordered (bulleted) lists.
|
||||
|
||||
Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens -- interchangably
|
||||
-- as list markers:
|
||||
|
||||
* Red
|
||||
* Green
|
||||
* Blue
|
||||
|
||||
is equivalent to:
|
||||
|
||||
+ Red
|
||||
+ Green
|
||||
+ Blue
|
||||
|
||||
and:
|
||||
|
||||
- Red
|
||||
- Green
|
||||
- Blue
|
||||
|
||||
Ordered lists use numbers followed by periods:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Bird
|
||||
2. McHale
|
||||
3. Parish
|
||||
|
||||
It's important to note that the actual numbers you use to mark the
|
||||
list have no effect on the HTML output Markdown produces. The HTML
|
||||
Markdown produces from the above list is:
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Bird</li>
|
||||
<li>McHale</li>
|
||||
<li>Parish</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
If you instead wrote the list in Markdown like this:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Bird
|
||||
1. McHale
|
||||
1. Parish
|
||||
|
||||
or even:
|
||||
|
||||
3. Bird
|
||||
1. McHale
|
||||
8. Parish
|
||||
|
||||
you'd get the exact same HTML output. The point is, if you want to,
|
||||
you can use ordinal numbers in your ordered Markdown lists, so that
|
||||
the numbers in your source match the numbers in your published HTML.
|
||||
But if you want to be lazy, you don't have to.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do use lazy list numbering, however, you should still start the
|
||||
list with the number 1. At some point in the future, Markdown may support
|
||||
starting ordered lists at an arbitrary number.
|
||||
|
||||
List markers typically start at the left margin, but may be indented by
|
||||
up to three spaces. List markers must be followed by one or more spaces
|
||||
or a tab.
|
||||
|
||||
To make lists look nice, you can wrap items with hanging indents:
|
||||
|
||||
* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
|
||||
Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi,
|
||||
viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
|
||||
* Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit.
|
||||
Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
||||
|
||||
But if you want to be lazy, you don't have to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
|
||||
Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi,
|
||||
viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
|
||||
* Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit.
|
||||
Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
||||
|
||||
If list items are separated by blank lines, Markdown will wrap the
|
||||
items in `<p>` tags in the HTML output. For example, this input:
|
||||
|
||||
* Bird
|
||||
* Magic
|
||||
|
||||
will turn into:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Bird</li>
|
||||
<li>Magic</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
But this:
|
||||
|
||||
* Bird
|
||||
|
||||
* Magic
|
||||
|
||||
will turn into:
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><p>Bird</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>Magic</p></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
List items may consist of multiple paragraphs. Each subsequent
|
||||
paragraph in a list item must be intended by either 4 spaces
|
||||
or one tab:
|
||||
|
||||
1. This is a list item with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor
|
||||
sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit
|
||||
mi posuere lectus.
|
||||
|
||||
Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet
|
||||
vitae, risus. Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum
|
||||
sit amet velit.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
||||
|
||||
It looks nice if you indent every line of the subsequent
|
||||
paragraphs, but here again, Markdown will allow you to be
|
||||
lazy:
|
||||
|
||||
* This is a list item with two paragraphs.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the second paragraph in the list item. You're
|
||||
only required to indent the first line. Lorem ipsum dolor
|
||||
sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
|
||||
|
||||
* Another item in the same list.
|
||||
|
||||
To put a blockquote within a list item, the blockquote's `>`
|
||||
delimiters need to be indented:
|
||||
|
||||
* A list item with a blockquote:
|
||||
|
||||
> This is a blockquote
|
||||
> inside a list item.
|
||||
|
||||
To put a code block within a list item, the code block needs
|
||||
to be indented *twice* -- 8 spaces or two tabs:
|
||||
|
||||
* A list item with a code block:
|
||||
|
||||
<code goes here>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It's worth noting that it's possible to trigger an ordered list by
|
||||
accident, by writing something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
1986. What a great season.
|
||||
|
||||
In other words, a *number-period-space* sequence at the beginning of a
|
||||
line. To avoid this, you can backslash-escape the period:
|
||||
|
||||
1986\. What a great season.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="precode">Code Blocks</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Pre-formatted code blocks are used for writing about programming or
|
||||
markup source code. Rather than forming normal paragraphs, the lines
|
||||
of a code block are interpreted literally. Markdown wraps a code block
|
||||
in both `<pre>` and `<code>` tags.
|
||||
|
||||
To produce a code block in Markdown, simply indent every line of the
|
||||
block by at least 4 spaces or 1 tab. For example, given this input:
|
||||
|
||||
This is a normal paragraph:
|
||||
|
||||
This is a code block.
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown will generate:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is a normal paragraph:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>This is a code block.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
One level of indentation -- 4 spaces or 1 tab -- is removed from each
|
||||
line of the code block. For example, this:
|
||||
|
||||
Here is an example of AppleScript:
|
||||
|
||||
tell application "Foo"
|
||||
beep
|
||||
end tell
|
||||
|
||||
will turn into:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Here is an example of AppleScript:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>tell application "Foo"
|
||||
beep
|
||||
end tell
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
A code block continues until it reaches a line that is not indented
|
||||
(or the end of the article).
|
||||
|
||||
Within a code block, ampersands (`&`) and angle brackets (`<` and `>`)
|
||||
are automatically converted into HTML entities. This makes it very
|
||||
easy to include example HTML source code using Markdown -- just paste
|
||||
it and indent it, and Markdown will handle the hassle of encoding the
|
||||
ampersands and angle brackets. For example, this:
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="footer">
|
||||
© 2004 Foo Corporation
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
will turn into:
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><div class="footer">
|
||||
&copy; 2004 Foo Corporation
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
Regular Markdown syntax is not processed within code blocks. E.g.,
|
||||
asterisks are just literal asterisks within a code block. This means
|
||||
it's also easy to use Markdown to write about Markdown's own syntax.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="hr">Horizontal Rules</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
You can produce a horizontal rule tag (`<hr />`) by placing three or
|
||||
more hyphens, asterisks, or underscores on a line by themselves. If you
|
||||
wish, you may use spaces between the hyphens or asterisks. Each of the
|
||||
following lines will produce a horizontal rule:
|
||||
|
||||
* * *
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
*****
|
||||

<h2 id="span">Span Elements</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="link">Links</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown supports two style of links: *inline* and *reference*.
|
||||
|
||||
In both styles, the link text is delimited by [square brackets].
|
||||
|
||||
To create an inline link, use a set of regular parentheses immediately
|
||||
after the link text's closing square bracket. Inside the parentheses,
|
||||
put the URL where you want the link to point, along with an *optional*
|
||||
title for the link, surrounded in quotes. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
This is [an example](http://example.com/ "Title") inline link.
|
||||
|
||||
[This link](http://example.net/) has no title attribute.
|
||||
|
||||
Will produce:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is <a href="http://example.com/" title="Title">
|
||||
an example</a> inline link.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a href="http://example.net/">This link</a> has no
|
||||
title attribute.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
If you're referring to a local resource on the same server, you can
|
||||
use relative paths:
|
||||
|
||||
See my [About](/about/) page for details.
|
||||
|
||||
Reference-style links use a second set of square brackets, inside
|
||||
which you place a label of your choosing to identify the link:
|
||||
|
||||
This is [an example][id] reference-style link.
|
||||
|
||||
You can optionally use a space to separate the sets of brackets:
|
||||
|
||||
This is [an example] [id] reference-style link.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, anywhere in the document, you define your link label like this,
|
||||
on a line by itself:
|
||||
|
||||
[id]: http://example.com/ "Optional Title Here"
|
||||
|
||||
That is:
|
||||
|
||||
* Square brackets containing the link identifier (optionally
|
||||
indented from the left margin using up to three spaces);
|
||||
* followed by a colon;
|
||||
* followed by one or more spaces (or tabs);
|
||||
* followed by the URL for the link;
|
||||
* optionally followed by a title attribute for the link, enclosed
|
||||
in double or single quotes.
|
||||
|
||||
The link URL may, optionally, be surrounded by angle brackets:
|
||||
|
||||
[id]: <http://example.com/> "Optional Title Here"
|
||||
|
||||
You can put the title attribute on the next line and use extra spaces
|
||||
or tabs for padding, which tends to look better with longer URLs:
|
||||
|
||||
[id]: http://example.com/longish/path/to/resource/here
|
||||
"Optional Title Here"
|
||||
|
||||
Link definitions are only used for creating links during Markdown
|
||||
processing, and are stripped from your document in the HTML output.
|
||||
|
||||
Link definition names may constist of letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation -- but they are *not* case sensitive. E.g. these two links:
|
||||
|
||||
[link text][a]
|
||||
[link text][A]
|
||||
|
||||
are equivalent.
|
||||
|
||||
The *implicit link name* shortcut allows you to omit the name of the
|
||||
link, in which case the link text itself is used as the name.
|
||||
Just use an empty set of square brackets -- e.g., to link the word
|
||||
"Google" to the google.com web site, you could simply write:
|
||||
|
||||
[Google][]
|
||||
|
||||
And then define the link:
|
||||
|
||||
[Google]: http://google.com/
|
||||
|
||||
Because link names may contain spaces, this shortcut even works for
|
||||
multiple words in the link text:
|
||||
|
||||
Visit [Daring Fireball][] for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
And then define the link:
|
||||
|
||||
[Daring Fireball]: http://daringfireball.net/
|
||||
|
||||
Link definitions can be placed anywhere in your Markdown document. I
|
||||
tend to put them immediately after each paragraph in which they're
|
||||
used, but if you want, you can put them all at the end of your
|
||||
document, sort of like footnotes.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's an example of reference links in action:
|
||||
|
||||
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"
|
||||
|
||||
Using the implicit link name shortcut, you could instead write:
|
||||
|
||||
I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][] than from
|
||||
[Yahoo][] or [MSN][].
|
||||
|
||||
[google]: http://google.com/ "Google"
|
||||
[yahoo]: http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search"
|
||||
[msn]: http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search"
|
||||
|
||||
Both of the above examples will produce the following HTML 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>
|
||||
|
||||
For comparison, here is the same paragraph written using
|
||||
Markdown's inline link style:
|
||||
|
||||
I get 10 times more traffic from [Google](http://google.com/ "Google")
|
||||
than from [Yahoo](http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search") or
|
||||
[MSN](http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search").
|
||||
|
||||
The point of reference-style links is not that they're easier to
|
||||
write. The point is that with reference-style links, your document
|
||||
source is vastly more readable. Compare the above examples: using
|
||||
reference-style links, the paragraph itself is only 81 characters
|
||||
long; with inline-style links, it's 176 characters; and as raw HTML,
|
||||
it's 234 characters. In the raw HTML, there's more markup than there
|
||||
is text.
|
||||
|
||||
With Markdown's reference-style links, a source document much more
|
||||
closely resembles the final output, as rendered in a browser. By
|
||||
allowing you to move the markup-related metadata out of the paragraph,
|
||||
you can add links without interrupting the narrative flow of your
|
||||
prose.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="em">Emphasis</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown treats asterisks (`*`) and underscores (`_`) as indicators of
|
||||
emphasis. Text wrapped with one `*` or `_` will be wrapped with an
|
||||
HTML `<em>` tag; double `*`'s or `_`'s will be wrapped with an HTML
|
||||
`<strong>` tag. E.g., this input:
|
||||
|
||||
*single asterisks*
|
||||
|
||||
_single underscores_
|
||||
|
||||
**double asterisks**
|
||||
|
||||
__double underscores__
|
||||
|
||||
will produce:
|
||||
|
||||
<em>single asterisks</em>
|
||||
|
||||
<em>single underscores</em>
|
||||
|
||||
<strong>double asterisks</strong>
|
||||
|
||||
<strong>double underscores</strong>
|
||||
|
||||
You can use whichever style you prefer; the lone restriction is that
|
||||
the same character must be used to open and close an emphasis span.
|
||||
|
||||
Emphasis can be used in the middle of a word:
|
||||
|
||||
un*fucking*believable
|
||||
|
||||
But if you surround an `*` or `_` with spaces, it'll be treated as a
|
||||
literal asterisk or underscore.
|
||||
|
||||
To produce a literal asterisk or underscore at a position where it
|
||||
would otherwise be used as an emphasis delimiter, you can backslash
|
||||
escape it:
|
||||
|
||||
\*this text is surrounded by literal asterisks\*
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="code">Code</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
To indicate a span of code, wrap it with backtick quotes (`` ` ``).
|
||||
Unlike a pre-formatted code block, a code span indicates code within a
|
||||
normal paragraph. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `printf()` function.
|
||||
|
||||
will produce:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Use the <code>printf()</code> function.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
To include a literal backtick character within a code span, you can use
|
||||
multiple backticks as the opening and closing delimiters:
|
||||
|
||||
``There is a literal backtick (`) here.``
|
||||
|
||||
which will produce this:
|
||||
|
||||
<p><code>There is a literal backtick (`) here.</code></p>
|
||||
|
||||
The backtick delimiters surrounding a code span may include spaces --
|
||||
one after the opening, one before the closing. This allows you to place
|
||||
literal backtick characters at the beginning or end of a code span:
|
||||
|
||||
A single backtick in a code span: `` ` ``
|
||||
|
||||
A backtick-delimited string in a code span: `` `foo` ``
|
||||
|
||||
will produce:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A single backtick in a code span: <code>`</code></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A backtick-delimited string in a code span: <code>`foo`</code></p>
|
||||
|
||||
With a code span, ampersands and angle brackets are encoded as HTML
|
||||
entities automatically, which makes it easy to include example HTML
|
||||
tags. Markdown will turn this:
|
||||
|
||||
Please don't use any `<blink>` tags.
|
||||
|
||||
into:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Please don't use any <code><blink></code> tags.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
You can write this:
|
||||
|
||||
`—` is the decimal-encoded equivalent of `—`.
|
||||
|
||||
to produce:
|
||||
|
||||
<p><code>&#8212;</code> is the decimal-encoded
|
||||
equivalent of <code>&mdash;</code>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="img">Images</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Admittedly, it's fairly difficult to devise a "natural" syntax for
|
||||
placing images into a plain text document format.
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown uses an image syntax that is intended to resemble the syntax
|
||||
for links, allowing for two styles: *inline* and *reference*.
|
||||
|
||||
Inline image syntax looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
That is:
|
||||
|
||||
* An exclamation mark: `!`;
|
||||
* followed by a set of square brackets, containing the `alt`
|
||||
attribute text for the image;
|
||||
* followed by a set of parentheses, containing the URL or path to
|
||||
the image, and an optional `title` attribute enclosed in double
|
||||
or single quotes.
|
||||
|
||||
Reference-style image syntax looks like this:
|
||||
|
||||
![Alt text][id]
|
||||
|
||||
Where "id" is the name of a defined image reference. Image references
|
||||
are defined using syntax identical to link references:
|
||||
|
||||
[id]: url/to/image "Optional title attribute"
|
||||
|
||||
As of this writing, Markdown has no syntax for specifying the
|
||||
dimensions of an image; if this is important to you, you can simply
|
||||
use regular HTML `<img>` tags.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* * *
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="misc">Miscellaneous</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="autolink">Automatic Links</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
|
||||
<http://example.com/>
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown will turn this into:
|
||||
|
||||
<a href="http://example.com/">http://example.com/</a>
|
||||
|
||||
Automatic links for email addresses work similarly, except that
|
||||
Markdown will also perform a bit of randomized decimal and hex
|
||||
entity-encoding to help obscure your address from address-harvesting
|
||||
spambots. For example, Markdown will turn this:
|
||||
|
||||
<address@example.com>
|
||||
|
||||
into something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
<a href="mailto:addre
|
||||
ss@example.co
|
||||
m">address@exa
|
||||
mple.com</a>
|
||||
|
||||
which will render in a browser as a clickable link to "address@example.com".
|
||||
|
||||
(This sort of entity-encoding trick will indeed fool many, if not
|
||||
most, address-harvesting bots, but it definitely won't fool all of
|
||||
them. It's better than nothing, but an address published in this way
|
||||
will probably eventually start receiving spam.)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="backslash">Backslash Escapes</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown allows you to use backslash escapes to generate literal
|
||||
characters which would otherwise have special meaning in Markdown's
|
||||
formatting syntax. For example, if you wanted to surround a word with
|
||||
literal asterisks (instead of an HTML `<em>` tag), you can backslashes
|
||||
before the asterisks, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
\*literal asterisks\*
|
||||
|
||||
Markdown provides backslash escapes for the following characters:
|
||||
|
||||
\ backslash
|
||||
` backtick
|
||||
* asterisk
|
||||
_ underscore
|
||||
{} curly braces
|
||||
[] square brackets
|
||||
() parentheses
|
||||
# hash mark
|
||||
+ plus sign
|
||||
- minus sign (hyphen)
|
||||
. dot
|
||||
! exclamation mark

|

|
||||
<p>Markdown is intended to be as easy-to-read and easy-to-write as is feasible.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Readability, however, is emphasized above all else. A Markdown-formatted
|
||||
document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking
|
||||
like it's been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While
|
||||
Markdown's syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML
|
||||
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>,
|
||||
<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
|
||||
inspiration for Markdown's syntax is the format of plain text email.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To this end, Markdown's syntax is comprised entirely of punctuation
|
||||
characters, which punctuation characters have been carefully chosen so
|
||||
as to look like what they mean. E.g., asterisks around a word actually
|
||||
look like *emphasis*. Markdown lists look like, well, lists. Even
|
||||
blockquotes look like quoted passages of text, assuming you've ever
|
||||
used email.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="html">Inline HTML</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown's syntax is intended for one purpose: to be used as a
|
||||
format for <em>writing</em> for the web.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its
|
||||
syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of
|
||||
HTML tags. The idea is <em>not</em> to create a syntax that makes it easier
|
||||
to insert HTML tags. In my opinion, HTML tags are already easy to
|
||||
insert. The idea for Markdown is to make it easy to read, write, and
|
||||
edit prose. HTML is a <em>publishing</em> format; Markdown is a <em>writing</em>
|
||||
format. Thus, Markdown's formatting syntax only addresses issues that
|
||||
can be conveyed in plain text.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For any markup that is not covered by Markdown's syntax, you simply
|
||||
use HTML itself. There's no need to preface it or delimit it to
|
||||
indicate that you're switching from Markdown to HTML; you just use
|
||||
the tags.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The only restrictions are that block-level HTML elements -- e.g. <code><div></code>,
|
||||
<code><table></code>, <code><pre></code>, <code><p></code>, etc. -- must be separated from surrounding
|
||||
content by blank lines, and the start and end tags of the block should
|
||||
not be indented with tabs or spaces. Markdown is smart enough not
|
||||
to add extra (unwanted) <code><p></code> tags around HTML block-level tags.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For example, to add an HTML table to a Markdown article:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>This is a regular paragraph.
|
||||
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<tr>
|
||||
<td>Foo</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
This is another regular paragraph.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note that Markdown formatting syntax is not processed within block-level
|
||||
HTML tags. E.g., you can't use Markdown-style <code>*emphasis*</code> inside an
|
||||
HTML block.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Span-level HTML tags -- e.g. <code><span></code>, <code><cite></code>, or <code><del></code> -- can be
|
||||
used anywhere in a Markdown paragraph, list item, or header. If you
|
||||
want, you can even use HTML tags instead of Markdown formatting; e.g. if
|
||||
you'd prefer to use HTML <code><a></code> or <code><img></code> tags instead of Markdown's
|
||||
link or image syntax, go right ahead.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Unlike block-level HTML tags, Markdown syntax <em>is</em> processed within
|
||||
span-level tags.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="autoescape">Automatic Escaping for Special Characters</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In HTML, there are two characters that demand special treatment: <code><</code>
|
||||
and <code>&</code>. Left angle brackets are used to start tags; ampersands are
|
||||
used to denote HTML entities. If you want to use them as literal
|
||||
characters, you must escape them as entities, e.g. <code>&lt;</code>, and
|
||||
<code>&amp;</code>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Ampersands in particular are bedeviling for web writers. If you want to
|
||||
write about 'AT&T', you need to write '<code>AT&amp;T</code>'. You even need to
|
||||
escape ampersands within URLs. Thus, if you want to link to:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>http://images.google.com/images?num=30&q=larry+bird
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>you need to encode the URL as:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>http://images.google.com/images?num=30&amp;q=larry+bird
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>in your anchor tag <code>href</code> attribute. Needless to say, this is easy to
|
||||
forget, and is probably the single most common source of HTML validation
|
||||
errors in otherwise well-marked-up web sites.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown allows you to use these characters naturally, taking care of
|
||||
all the necessary escaping for you. If you use an ampersand as part of
|
||||
an HTML entity, it remains unchanged; otherwise it will be translated
|
||||
into <code>&amp;</code>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>So, if you want to include a copyright symbol in your article, you can write:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>&copy;
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>and Markdown will leave it alone. But if you write:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>AT&T
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown will translate it to:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>AT&amp;T
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Similarly, because Markdown supports <a href="#html">inline HTML</a>, if you use
|
||||
angle brackets as delimiters for HTML tags, Markdown will treat them as
|
||||
such. But if you write:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>4 < 5
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown will translate it to:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>4 &lt; 5
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>However, inside Markdown code spans and blocks, angle brackets and
|
||||
ampersands are <em>always</em> encoded automatically. This makes it easy to use
|
||||
Markdown to write about HTML code. (As opposed to raw HTML, which is a
|
||||
terrible format for writing about HTML syntax, because every single <code><</code>
|
||||
and <code>&</code> in your example code needs to be escaped.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="block">Block Elements</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="p">Paragraphs and Line Breaks</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>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 but spaces or tabs is considered
|
||||
blank.) Normal paragraphs should not be intended with spaces or tabs.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The implication of the "one or more consecutive lines of text" rule is
|
||||
that Markdown supports "hard-wrapped" text paragraphs. This differs
|
||||
significantly from most other text-to-HTML formatters (including Movable
|
||||
Type's "Convert Line Breaks" option) which translate every line break
|
||||
character in a paragraph into a <code><br /></code> tag.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>When you <em>do</em> want to insert a <code><br /></code> break tag using Markdown, you
|
||||
end a line with two or more spaces, then type return.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Yes, this takes a tad more effort to create a <code><br /></code>, but a simplistic
|
||||
"every line break is a <code><br /></code>" rule wouldn't work for Markdown.
|
||||
Markdown's email-style <a href="#blockquote">blockquoting</a> and multi-paragraph <a href="#list">list items</a>
|
||||
work best -- and look better -- when you format them with hard breaks.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="header">Headers</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<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>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Setext-style headers are "underlined" using equal signs (for first-level
|
||||
headers) and dashes (for second-level headers). For example:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>This is an H1
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
This is an H2
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Any number of underlining <code>=</code>'s or <code>-</code>'s will work.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Atx-style headers use 1-6 hash characters at the start of the line,
|
||||
corresponding to header levels 1-6. For example:</p>

## This is an H2
|

|

###### This is an H6
|

</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Optionally, you may "close" atx-style headers. This is purely
|
||||
cosmetic -- you can use this if you think it looks better. The
|
||||
closing hashes don't even need to match the number of hashes
|
||||
used to open the header. (The number of opening hashes
|
||||
determines the header level.) :</p>
|

<pre><code># This is an H1 #

## This is an H2 ##

<h3 id="blockquote">Blockquotes</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown uses email-style <code>></code> characters for blockquoting. If you're
|
||||
familiar with quoting passages of text in an email message, then you
|
||||
know how to create a blockquote in Markdown. It looks best if you hard
|
||||
wrap the text and put a <code>></code> before every line:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>> This is a blockquote with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
|
||||
> consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus.
|
||||
> Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse
|
||||
> id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown allows you to be lazy and only put the <code>></code> before the first
|
||||
line of a hard-wrapped paragraph:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>> This is a blockquote with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
|
||||
consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus.
|
||||
Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
|
||||
|
||||
> Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse
|
||||
id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Blockquotes can be nested (i.e. a blockquote-in-a-blockquote) by
|
||||
adding additional levels of <code>></code>:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>> This is the first level of quoting.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> > This is nested blockquote.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Back to the first level.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Blockquotes can contain other Markdown elements, including headers, lists,
|
||||
and code blocks:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>> ## This is a header.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> 1. This is the first list item.
|
||||
|
||||
> 2. This is the second list item.
|
||||
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Here's some example code:
|
||||
>
|
||||
> return shell_exec("echo $input | $markdown_script");
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Any decent text editor should make email-style quoting easy. For
|
||||
example, with BBEdit, you can make a selection and choose Increase
|
||||
Quote Level from the Text menu.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="list">Lists</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown supports ordered (numbered) and unordered (bulleted) lists.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens -- interchangably
|
||||
-- as list markers:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>* Red
|
||||
* Green
|
||||
* Blue
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>is equivalent to:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>+ Red
|
||||
+ Green
|
||||
+ Blue
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>and:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>- Red
|
||||
- Green
|
||||
- Blue
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Ordered lists use numbers followed by periods:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>1. Bird
|
||||
2. McHale
|
||||
3. Parish
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It's important to note that the actual numbers you use to mark the
|
||||
list have no effect on the HTML output Markdown produces. The HTML
|
||||
Markdown produces from the above list is:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><ol>
|
||||
<li>Bird</li>
|
||||
<li>McHale</li>
|
||||
<li>Parish</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you instead wrote the list in Markdown like this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>1. Bird
|
||||
1. McHale
|
||||
1. Parish
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>or even:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>3. Bird
|
||||
1. McHale
|
||||
8. Parish
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>you'd get the exact same HTML output. The point is, if you want to,
|
||||
you can use ordinal numbers in your ordered Markdown lists, so that
|
||||
the numbers in your source match the numbers in your published HTML.
|
||||
But if you want to be lazy, you don't have to.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you do use lazy list numbering, however, you should still start the
|
||||
list with the number 1. At some point in the future, Markdown may support
|
||||
starting ordered lists at an arbitrary number.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>List markers typically start at the left margin, but may be indented by
|
||||
up to three spaces. List markers must be followed by one or more spaces
|
||||
or a tab.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To make lists look nice, you can wrap items with hanging indents:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
|
||||
Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi,
|
||||
viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
|
||||
* Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit.
|
||||
Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But if you want to be lazy, you don't have to:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
|
||||
Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi,
|
||||
viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
|
||||
* Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit.
|
||||
Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If list items are separated by blank lines, Markdown will wrap the
|
||||
items in <code><p></code> tags in the HTML output. For example, this input:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>* Bird
|
||||
* Magic
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>will turn into:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><ul>
|
||||
<li>Bird</li>
|
||||
<li>Magic</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>* Bird
|
||||
|
||||
* Magic
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>will turn into:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><ul>
|
||||
<li><p>Bird</p></li>
|
||||
<li><p>Magic</p></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>List items may consist of multiple paragraphs. Each subsequent
|
||||
paragraph in a list item must be intended by either 4 spaces
|
||||
or one tab:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>1. This is a list item with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor
|
||||
sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit
|
||||
mi posuere lectus.
|
||||
|
||||
Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet
|
||||
vitae, risus. Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum
|
||||
sit amet velit.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It looks nice if you indent every line of the subsequent
|
||||
paragraphs, but here again, Markdown will allow you to be
|
||||
lazy:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>* This is a list item with two paragraphs.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the second paragraph in the list item. You're
|
||||
only required to indent the first line. Lorem ipsum dolor
|
||||
sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
|
||||
|
||||
* Another item in the same list.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To put a blockquote within a list item, the blockquote's <code>></code>
|
||||
delimiters need to be indented:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>* A list item with a blockquote:
|
||||
|
||||
> This is a blockquote
|
||||
> inside a list item.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To put a code block within a list item, the code block needs
|
||||
to be indented <em>twice</em> -- 8 spaces or two tabs:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>* A list item with a code block:
|
||||
|
||||
<code goes here>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It's worth noting that it's possible to trigger an ordered list by
|
||||
accident, by writing something like this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>1986. What a great season.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In other words, a <em>number-period-space</em> sequence at the beginning of a
|
||||
line. To avoid this, you can backslash-escape the period:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>1986\. What a great season.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="precode">Code Blocks</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Pre-formatted code blocks are used for writing about programming or
|
||||
markup source code. Rather than forming normal paragraphs, the lines
|
||||
of a code block are interpreted literally. Markdown wraps a code block
|
||||
in both <code><pre></code> and <code><code></code> tags.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To produce a code block in Markdown, simply indent every line of the
|
||||
block by at least 4 spaces or 1 tab. For example, given this input:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>This is a normal paragraph:
|
||||
|
||||
This is a code block.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown will generate:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><p>This is a normal paragraph:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>This is a code block.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>One level of indentation -- 4 spaces or 1 tab -- is removed from each
|
||||
line of the code block. For example, this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>Here is an example of AppleScript:
|
||||
|
||||
tell application "Foo"
|
||||
beep
|
||||
end tell
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>will turn into:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><p>Here is an example of AppleScript:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>tell application "Foo"
|
||||
beep
|
||||
end tell
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A code block continues until it reaches a line that is not indented
|
||||
(or the end of the article).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Within a code block, ampersands (<code>&</code>) and angle brackets (<code><</code> and <code>></code>)
|
||||
are automatically converted into HTML entities. This makes it very
|
||||
easy to include example HTML source code using Markdown -- just paste
|
||||
it and indent it, and Markdown will handle the hassle of encoding the
|
||||
ampersands and angle brackets. For example, this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code> <div class="footer">
|
||||
&copy; 2004 Foo Corporation
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>will turn into:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><pre><code>&lt;div class="footer"&gt;
|
||||
&amp;copy; 2004 Foo Corporation
|
||||
&lt;/div&gt;
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Regular Markdown syntax is not processed within code blocks. E.g.,
|
||||
asterisks are just literal asterisks within a code block. This means
|
||||
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
|
||||
wish, you may use spaces between the hyphens or asterisks. Each of the
|
||||
following lines will produce a horizontal rule:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>* * *
|
||||
|
||||
***
|
||||
|
||||
*****

<hr />
|

|
||||
<h2 id="span">Span Elements</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="link">Links</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown supports two style of links: <em>inline</em> and <em>reference</em>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In both styles, the link text is delimited by [square brackets].</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To create an inline link, use a set of regular parentheses immediately
|
||||
after the link text's closing square bracket. Inside the parentheses,
|
||||
put the URL where you want the link to point, along with an <em>optional</em>
|
||||
title for the link, surrounded in quotes. For example:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>This is [an example](http://example.com/ "Title") inline link.
|
||||
|
||||
[This link](http://example.net/) has no title attribute.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Will produce:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><p>This is <a href="http://example.com/" title="Title">
|
||||
an example</a> inline link.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a href="http://example.net/">This link</a> has no
|
||||
title attribute.</p>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you're referring to a local resource on the same server, you can
|
||||
use relative paths:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>See my [About](/about/) page for details.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Reference-style links use a second set of square brackets, inside
|
||||
which you place a label of your choosing to identify the link:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>This is [an example][id] reference-style link.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can optionally use a space to separate the sets of brackets:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>This is [an example] [id] reference-style link.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Then, anywhere in the document, you define your link label like this,
|
||||
on a line by itself:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>[id]: http://example.com/ "Optional Title Here"
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>That is:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Square brackets containing the link identifier (optionally
|
||||
indented from the left margin using up to three spaces);</li>
|
||||
<li>followed by a colon;</li>
|
||||
<li>followed by one or more spaces (or tabs);</li>
|
||||
<li>followed by the URL for the link;</li>
|
||||
<li>optionally followed by a title attribute for the link, enclosed
|
||||
in double or single quotes.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The link URL may, optionally, be surrounded by angle brackets:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>[id]: <http://example.com/> "Optional Title Here"
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can put the title attribute on the next line and use extra spaces
|
||||
or tabs for padding, which tends to look better with longer URLs:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>[id]: http://example.com/longish/path/to/resource/here
|
||||
"Optional Title Here"
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Link definitions are only used for creating links during Markdown
|
||||
processing, and are stripped from your document in the HTML output.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Link definition names may constist of letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation -- but they are <em>not</em> case sensitive. E.g. these two links:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>[link text][a]
|
||||
[link text][A]
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>are equivalent.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The <em>implicit link name</em> shortcut allows you to omit the name of the
|
||||
link, in which case the link text itself is used as the name.
|
||||
Just use an empty set of square brackets -- e.g., to link the word
|
||||
"Google" to the google.com web site, you could simply write:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>[Google][]
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And then define the link:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>[Google]: http://google.com/
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Because link names may contain spaces, this shortcut even works for
|
||||
multiple words in the link text:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>Visit [Daring Fireball][] for more information.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>And then define the link:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>[Daring Fireball]: http://daringfireball.net/
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Link definitions can be placed anywhere in your Markdown document. I
|
||||
tend to put them immediately after each paragraph in which they're
|
||||
used, but if you want, you can put them all at the end of your
|
||||
document, sort of like footnotes.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Here's an example of reference links in action:</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>Using the implicit link name shortcut, you could instead write:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][] than from
|
||||
[Yahoo][] or [MSN][].
|
||||
|
||||
[google]: http://google.com/ "Google"
|
||||
[yahoo]: http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search"
|
||||
[msn]: http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search"
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Both of the above examples will produce the following HTML 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>For comparison, here is the same paragraph written using
|
||||
Markdown's inline link style:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>I get 10 times more traffic from [Google](http://google.com/ "Google")
|
||||
than from [Yahoo](http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search") or
|
||||
[MSN](http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search").
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The point of reference-style links is not that they're easier to
|
||||
write. The point is that with reference-style links, your document
|
||||
source is vastly more readable. Compare the above examples: using
|
||||
reference-style links, the paragraph itself is only 81 characters
|
||||
long; with inline-style links, it's 176 characters; and as raw HTML,
|
||||
it's 234 characters. In the raw HTML, there's more markup than there
|
||||
is text.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>With Markdown's reference-style links, a source document much more
|
||||
closely resembles the final output, as rendered in a browser. By
|
||||
allowing you to move the markup-related metadata out of the paragraph,
|
||||
you can add links without interrupting the narrative flow of your
|
||||
prose.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="em">Emphasis</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown treats asterisks (<code>*</code>) and underscores (<code>_</code>) as indicators of
|
||||
emphasis. Text wrapped with one <code>*</code> or <code>_</code> will be wrapped with an
|
||||
HTML <code><em></code> tag; double <code>*</code>'s or <code>_</code>'s will be wrapped with an HTML
|
||||
<code><strong></code> tag. E.g., this input:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>*single asterisks*
|
||||
|
||||
_single underscores_
|
||||
|
||||
**double asterisks**
|
||||
|
||||
__double underscores__
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>will produce:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><em>single asterisks</em>
|
||||
|
||||
<em>single underscores</em>
|
||||
|
||||
<strong>double asterisks</strong>
|
||||
|
||||
<strong>double underscores</strong>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can use whichever style you prefer; the lone restriction is that
|
||||
the same character must be used to open and close an emphasis span.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Emphasis can be used in the middle of a word:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>un*fucking*believable
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>But if you surround an <code>*</code> or <code>_</code> with spaces, it'll be treated as a
|
||||
literal asterisk or underscore.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To produce a literal asterisk or underscore at a position where it
|
||||
would otherwise be used as an emphasis delimiter, you can backslash
|
||||
escape it:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>\*this text is surrounded by literal asterisks\*
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="code">Code</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To indicate a span of code, wrap it with backtick quotes (<code>`</code>).
|
||||
Unlike a pre-formatted code block, a code span indicates code within a
|
||||
normal paragraph. For example:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>Use the `printf()` function.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>will produce:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><p>Use the <code>printf()</code> function.</p>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To include a literal backtick character within a code span, you can use
|
||||
multiple backticks as the opening and closing delimiters:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>``There is a literal backtick (`) here.``
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>which will produce this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><p><code>There is a literal backtick (`) here.</code></p>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The backtick delimiters surrounding a code span may include spaces --
|
||||
one after the opening, one before the closing. This allows you to place
|
||||
literal backtick characters at the beginning or end of a code span:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>A single backtick in a code span: `` ` ``
|
||||
|
||||
A backtick-delimited string in a code span: `` `foo` ``
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>will produce:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><p>A single backtick in a code span: <code>`</code></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A backtick-delimited string in a code span: <code>`foo`</code></p>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>With a code span, ampersands and angle brackets are encoded as HTML
|
||||
entities automatically, which makes it easy to include example HTML
|
||||
tags. Markdown will turn this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>Please don't use any `<blink>` tags.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>into:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><p>Please don't use any <code>&lt;blink&gt;</code> tags.</p>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can write this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>`&#8212;` is the decimal-encoded equivalent of `&mdash;`.
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>to produce:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><p><code>&amp;#8212;</code> is the decimal-encoded
|
||||
equivalent of <code>&amp;mdash;</code>.</p>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="img">Images</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Admittedly, it's fairly difficult to devise a "natural" syntax for
|
||||
placing images into a plain text document format.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown uses an image syntax that is intended to resemble the syntax
|
||||
for links, allowing for two styles: <em>inline</em> and <em>reference</em>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Inline image syntax looks like this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>That is:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>An exclamation mark: <code>!</code>;</li>
|
||||
<li>followed by a set of square brackets, containing the <code>alt</code>
|
||||
attribute text for the image;</li>
|
||||
<li>followed by a set of parentheses, containing the URL or path to
|
||||
the image, and an optional <code>title</code> attribute enclosed in double
|
||||
or single quotes.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Reference-style image syntax looks like this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>![Alt text][id]
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Where "id" is the name of a defined image reference. Image references
|
||||
are defined using syntax identical to link references:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>[id]: url/to/image "Optional title attribute"
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As of this writing, Markdown has no syntax for specifying the
|
||||
dimensions of an image; if this is important to you, you can simply
|
||||
use regular HTML <code><img></code> tags.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<hr />
|
||||
|
||||
<h2 id="misc">Miscellaneous</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="autolink">Automatic Links</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<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>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><http://example.com/>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown will turn this into:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><a href="http://example.com/">http://example.com/</a>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Automatic links for email addresses work similarly, except that
|
||||
Markdown will also perform a bit of randomized decimal and hex
|
||||
entity-encoding to help obscure your address from address-harvesting
|
||||
spambots. For example, Markdown will turn this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><address@example.com>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>into something like this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code><a href="&#x6D;&#x61;i&#x6C;&#x74;&#x6F;:&#x61;&#x64;&#x64;&#x72;&#x65;
|
||||
&#115;&#115;&#64;&#101;&#120;&#x61;&#109;&#x70;&#x6C;e&#x2E;&#99;&#111;
|
||||
&#109;">&#x61;&#x64;&#x64;&#x72;&#x65;&#115;&#115;&#64;&#101;&#120;&#x61;
|
||||
&#109;&#x70;&#x6C;e&#x2E;&#99;&#111;&#109;</a>
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>which will render in a browser as a clickable link to "address@example.com".</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>(This sort of entity-encoding trick will indeed fool many, if not
|
||||
most, address-harvesting bots, but it definitely won't fool all of
|
||||
them. It's better than nothing, but an address published in this way
|
||||
will probably eventually start receiving spam.)</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3 id="backslash">Backslash Escapes</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown allows you to use backslash escapes to generate literal
|
||||
characters which would otherwise have special meaning in Markdown's
|
||||
formatting syntax. For example, if you wanted to surround a word with
|
||||
literal asterisks (instead of an HTML <code><em></code> tag), you can backslashes
|
||||
before the asterisks, like this:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>\*literal asterisks\*
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Markdown provides backslash escapes for the following characters:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>\ backslash
|
||||
` backtick
|
||||
* asterisk
|
||||
_ underscore
|
||||
{} curly braces
|
||||
[] square brackets
|
||||
() parentheses
|
||||
# hash mark
|
||||
+ plus sign
|
||||
- minus sign (hyphen)
|
||||
. dot
|
||||
! exclamation mark
