This is intended as a quick reference and showcase. For more complete info, see John Gruber’s original spec and the Github-flavored Markdown info page.
Note that there is also a Cheatsheet specific to Markdown Here if that’s what you’re looking for. You can also check out more Markdown tools.
Table of Contents
I’m an inline-style link with title
I’m a relative reference to a repository file
You can use numbers for reference-style link definitions
Or leave it empty and use the link text itself.
URLs and URLs in angle brackets will automatically get turned into links.
http://www.example.com or http://www.example.com and sometimes
example.com (but not on Github, for example).
Some text to show that the reference links can follow later.
Inline `code` has `back-ticks around` it.
Inline code has back-ticks around it.
Blocks of code are either fenced by lines with three back-ticks ```, or are indented with four spaces. I recommend only using the fenced code blocks — they’re easier and only they support syntax highlighting.
```javascript
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
``````python
s = "Python syntax highlighting"
print s
``````
No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting.
But let's throw in a <b>tag</b>.
