Refer to Markdown Syntax at Daring Fireball for a complete syntax reference.
|
*text* _text_ |
Emphasized (Italic) text. Surround the words with single asterisks (*) or single underscores (_). |
|
**text** __text__ |
Extra emphasized (Bold) text. Surround the words with double asterisks (**) or double underscores (__). |
|
Line break - two spaces at end. This is the next line. Text preceded by empty line makes a paragraph. |
To force a line break, add two spaces to the end of the line and press Enter. For a normal paragraph, just separate lines of text with an empty line. |
| `a span of code with <html>` | A span of code inside a line of text is surrounded by backticks (`). You can use HTML tags inside backticks and they won't be interpreted as HTML. |
a + b == c
second code line in block
HTML tags aren't interpreted here
|
A line beginning with four spaces is part of a preformatted code block. You can use HTML tags inside a code block and they won't be interpreted as HTML. |
* list item * list item |
A bulleted (unordered) list. Instead of an asterisk, you can use a dash (-) or a plus sign (+). |
1. Do this first 2. Do this second |
A numbered list. The specific numbers don't matter. |
|
# Heading 1 or Heading 1 ========= ## Heading 2 or Heading 2 --------- ### Heading 3 #### Heading 4 ##### and so on... |
Headings. More hash mark signs (#) produce smaller headings. An alternative for level 1 and level 2 headings is to use equals signs (=) under the level one text and dashes (-) under the level two text. |
[Link Text](http://kenai.com "Optional Title") |
A hyperlink of form <a href="http://kenai.com" title="Optional Title">Link Text</a>. |
| <http://kenai.com> | A hyperlink of form <a href="http://kenai.com">http://kenai.com</a>. |
| \* escape markup characters with backslash \* | You can use the backslash (\) to escape markup characters like * _ ` [ ] { } ( ) \ ! # - + . |
|
--- *** ___ - - - * * * _ _ _ ------------------------- ************************* _________________________ |
Horizontal rule. Use three or more hyphens, asterisks, or underscores on a line by themselves. You can use spaces between the hyphens or asterisks. Note: For consecutive horizontal rules, you need to separate each line with an extra newline. |
 |
An image link of form <img src="/path/to/img.jpg" alt="Alt text" title="Optional title">. Don't forget to put an exclamation mark (!) first! Note: Use the title attribute rather than the alt text to get mouse-over popup text. |
|
<table> <tr> <td> cell 1 *this isn't italic* </td> <td> cell 2 <em>this is italic</em> </td> </tr> </table> |
Use standard HTML for a table. You can also use other HTML tags. Note that Markdown syntax will not be processed inside an HTML tag. |
