Markdown Example

An h1 header

Paragraphs are separated by a blank line.

2nd paragraph. Italic, bold, and monospace. Itemized lists

look like:

• this one
• that one
• the other one

Note that --- not considering the asterisk --- the actual text

content starts at 4-columns in.

Block quotes are

written like so.

They can span multiple paragraphs,

if you like.

Use 3 dashes for an em-dash. Use 2 dashes for ranges (ex., "it's all

in chapters 12--14"). Three dots ... will be converted to an ellipsis.

Unicode is supported. ☺

An h2 header

Here's a numbered list:

1. first item
2. second item
3. third item

Note again how the actual text starts at 4 columns in (4 characters

from the left side). Here's a code sample:

# Let me re-iterate ...
for i in 1 .. 10 { do-something(i) }

As you probably guessed, indented 4 spaces. By the way, instead of

indenting the block, you can use delimited blocks, if you like:

define foobar() {
    print "Welcome to flavor country!";
}

(which makes copying & pasting easier). You can optionally mark the

delimited block for Pandoc to syntax highlight it:

import time
# Quick, count to ten!
for i in range(10):
    # (but not *too* quick)
    time.sleep(0.5)
    print i

An h3 header

Now a nested list:

1. First, get these ingredients:

   • carrots
   • celery
   • lentils

2. Boil some water.

3. Dump everything in the pot and follow
   
   this algorithm:

   find wooden spoon
   uncover pot
   stir
   cover pot
   balance wooden spoon precariously on pot handle
   wait 10 minutes
   goto first step (or shut off burner when done)
   

   Do not bump wooden spoon or it will fall.

Notice again how text always lines up on 4-space indents (including

that last line which continues item 3 above).

Here's a link to a website, to a local

doc, and to a section heading in the current

doc. Here's a footnote ^[1].

Tables can look like this:

size material color

---

9 leather brown

10 hemp canvas natural

11 glass transparent

Table: Shoes, their sizes, and what they're made of

(The above is the caption for the table.) Pandoc also supports

multi-line tables:

---

keyword text

---

red Sunsets, apples, and

other red or reddish

things.

green Leaves, grass, frogs

and other things it's

not easy being.

---

A horizontal rule follows.

Here's a definition list:

apples

Good for making applesauce.

oranges

Citrus!

tomatoes

There's no "e" in tomatoe.

Again, text is indented 4 spaces. (Put a blank line between each

term/definition pair to spread things out more.)

Here's a "line block":

| Line one

| Line too

| Line tree

and images can be specified like so:

Inline math equations go in like so: $\omega = d\phi / dt$. Display

math should get its own line and be put in in double-dollarsigns:

$$I = \int \rho R^{2} dV$$

And note that you can backslash-escape any punctuation characters

which you wish to be displayed literally, ex.: `foo`, *bar*, etc.
