This file serves three purposes:
- a markdown language reference,
- a test file to ensure that the markdown is being interpreted propertly, and
- a place to test out changes to the accompaning CSS file.
Let us begin:
Include an empty div with id="contents"
at start of file to have a floating
table of contents automatically generated. eg:
<div id="contents"></div>
The Table of Contents div scrolls down with the page and is generated from headers.
Hashmarks on the right are optional.
# Header 1 #
## Header 2 ##
### Header 3 ### (Hashes on right are optional)
#### Header 4 ####
##### Header 5 #####
###### Header 6 ######
## Markdown plus h2 with a custom ID ## {#id-goes-here}
[Link back to H2](#id-goes-here)
Alternatively, for H1 and H2, an underline-ish style:
Alt-H1
======
Alt-H2
------
This is a paragraph, which is text surrounded
by whitespace. Paragraphs can be on one
line (or many), and can drone on for hours.

Text with
two trailing spaces
(on the right)
can be used
for things like poems

Now some inline markup like _italics_, **bold**, and `code()`. Note that underscores in
words are ignored in Markdown Extra.

<div class="custom-class" markdown="1">
This is a div wrapping some Markdown plus. Without the
DIV attribute (the 'markdown=1' part), it ignores the block.

As a bonus, email addresses are automatically obscured.

Use *, +, or - to create a list. Use numbers to create a numbered list.
* Bullet lists are easy too
- Another one
+ Another one
1. A numbered list
2. Which is numbered
3. With periods and a space

Code can be indented or marked off with ~~~ above and below the block.
// Code is just text indented a bit
which(is_easy) to_remember();
// Markdown extra adds un-indented code blocks too
if (this_is_more_code == true && !indented) {
// tild wrapped code blocks, also not indented
}
For inline code:
Use `<div>` tags
`echo uname -a`
Use <div>
tags
echo uname -a

Paragraphs following a horizontal rule will have a drop cap for the first character. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Mauris quis augue tortor, in accumsan urna. Sed vestibulum, augue at commodo ultricies, leo libero faucibus lorem, nec porta eros massa quis nunc.
| Header | Header | Right |
| ------ | ------ | -----: |
| Cell | Cell | $10 |
| Cell | Cell | $20 |
Header | Header | Right |
---|---|---|
Cell | Cell | $10 |
Cell | Cell | $20 |
- Outer pipes on tables are optional
- Colon used for alignment (right versus left)
Bottled water
: $ 1.25
: $ 1.55 (Large)
Milk
Pop
: $ 1.75

- Multiple definitions and terms are possible
- Definitions can include multiple paragraphs too

That's some text with a footnote.[^1]
[^1]: And that's the footnote.
That's some text with a footnote.1
Note that footnotes show up at the bottom of the page, with a link back to its place in the original text. Note that two footnotes cannot have the same "name".
The following characters sometimes have special meanings in Markdown. You can make sure Markdown doesn't interpret these characters by placing a backslash in front of them.
\ backslash
` backtick
* asterisk
_ underscore
{} curly braces
[] square brackets
() parentheses
# hash mark
+ plus sign
- minus sign (hyphen)
. dot
! exclamation mark
: colon
| pipe
SmartyPants transforms:
- straight quotes (" and ') in "curly" 'quotes'
- Backtick quotes into ``curly'' quotes
- Dashed in en- and em- dashes: -- and ---
- Three consecutive dots in an ellipsis: ...
- Adds unbreakable spaces
- before a colon :
- before a semicolon ;
- before an explamation mark !
- before a question mark ?
- inside << French style quotes >>
- as the thousand seperator 100 000
- between a value and common unit symbols 12 kg and 10 °C
Math display via MathJax has been activated, allowing the typing of math formulas. For more information about MathJax: http://www.mathjax.org/. For more information on how to use this: https://github.com/drdrang/php-markdown-extra-math. In general formulas are encapsulated by \ ( and \ ) or \ [ and \ ].
Formulas can be inline
where \(\alpha = (t_1 - t_0)/L\) is the rate at which the thickness increases
where (\alpha = (t_1 - t_0)/L) is the rate at which the thickness increases
Some other samples:
\[\sqrt{x^2+1}\]
\(\root 3\of {1-\pi x^2}\)
\[\overbrace{x+\cdots+x}^{k\;\rm times}\]
\(f(x)=\cases {
x^2+1&\text{if $x<0$}\cr
1-x&\text{otherwise}
}\)
\(\left[\matrix{a^2-b^2& -1\\ 1& 2ab}\right]\)
[\sqrt{x^2+1}]
(\root 3\of {1-\pi x^2})
[\overbrace{x+\cdots+x}^{k;\rm times}]
(f(x)=\cases {
x^2+1&\text{if
(\left[\matrix{a^2-b^2& -1\ 1& 2ab}\right])
\(\int^1_\kappa
\left[\bigl(1-w^2\bigr)\bigl(\kappa^2-w^2\bigr)\right]^{-1/2} dw
= \frac{4}{\left(1+\sqrt{\kappa}\,\right)^2} K
\left(\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{\kappa}}{1+\sqrt{\kappa}}\right)^{\!\!2}\right)\)
(\int^1_\kappa \left[\bigl(1-w^2\bigr)\bigl(\kappa^2-w^2\bigr)\right]^{-1/2} dw = \frac{4}{\left(1+\sqrt{\kappa},\right)^2} K \left(\left(\frac{1-\sqrt{\kappa}}{1+\sqrt{\kappa}}\right)^{!!2}\right))
\(\mathop{\rm grd} \phi(z) =
\left(a+\frac{2d}{\pi}\right) v_\infty\, \overline{f'(z)} =
v_\infty \left[ \pi a + \frac{2d}{\pi a + 2dw^{-1/2}(w-1)^{1/2}} \right]^-\)
(\mathop{\rm grd} \phi(z) = \left(a+\frac{2d}{\pi}\right) v_\infty, \overline{f'(z)} = v_\infty \left[ \pi a + \frac{2d}{\pi a + 2dw^{-1/2}(w-1)^{1/2}} \right]^-)
This is text that is supposed to be displayed in 2 columns. Invoke columns by using:
<div class="col2" markdown="1"> text here </div>
Markdown will be rendered. <H1>
, <H2>
, and <hr>
will span both columns.
This is not a function of the Markdown, but rather the stylesheet.
