Paragraphs
Here’s a regular paragraph.
In Markdown 1.0.0 and earlier. Version 8. This line turns into a list item. Because a hard-wrapped line in the middle of a paragraph looked like a list item.
Here’s one with a bullet. * criminey.
There should be a hard line break
here.
Block Quotes
E-mail style:
This is a block quote. It is pretty short.
Code in a block quote:
sub status { print "working"; }
A list:
- item one
- item two
Nested block quotes:
nested
nested
This should not be a block quote: 2 > 1.
And a following paragraph.
Code Blocks
Code:
---- (should be four hyphens)
sub status {
print "working";
}
this code block is indented by one tab
And:
this code block is indented by two tabs
These should not be escaped: \$ \\ \> \[ \{

Multiple paragraphs:

Item 1. graf two. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog’s back.
Item 2. ὅσοι οἰόμεθα κακὸν εἶναι τὸ τεθνάναι. μέγα μοι τεκμήριον τούτου γέγονεν: οὐ γὰρ ἔσθ᾽ ὅπως οὐκ ἠναντιώθη ἄν μοι τὸ εἰωθὸς σημεῖον, εἰ μή τι ἔμελλον ἐγὼ ἀγαθὸν πράξειν. ἐννοήσωμεν δὲ καὶ τῇδε ὡς πολλὴ ἐλπίς ἐστιν ἀγαθὸν αὐτὸ εἶναι. δυοῖν γὰρ θάτερόν ἐστιν τὸ τεθνάναι: ἢ γὰρ οἷον μηδὲν εἶναι μηδὲ αἴσθησιν μηδεμίαν μηδενὸς ἔχειν τὸν τεθνεῶτα, ἢ κατὰ τὰ λεγόμενα μεταβολή τις τυγχάνει οὖσα καὶ μετοίκησις τῇ ψυχῇ τοῦ τόπου τοῦ ἐνθένδε εἰς ἄλλον τόπον. καὶ εἴτε δὴ μηδεμία αἴσθησίς ἐστιν ἀλλ᾽

HTML Blocks
Here’s a simple block:
foo
This should be a code block, though:
<div>
foo
</div>
As should this:
<div>foo</div>
This should just be an HTML comment:
Multiline:
Code block:
<!-- Comment -->
Just plain comment, with trailing spaces on the line:
Inline Markup
This is emphasized, and so is this.
This is strong, and so is this.
An emphasized link.
This is strong and em.
So is this word.
This is strong and em.
So is this word.
This is code: >
, $
, \
, \$
, <html>
.
This is strikeout.
Superscripts: abcd ahello ahello there.
Subscripts: H2O, H23O, Hmany of themO.
These should not be superscripts or subscripts, because of the unescaped spaces: a^b c^d, a~b c~d.
Smart quotes, ellipses, dashes
“Hello,” said the spider. “‘Shelob’ is my name.”
Here is some quoted ‘code
’ and a “quoted link”.
Ellipses…and…and….
LaTeX
- 2 + 2 = 4
- x ∈ y
- α ∧ ω
- 223
- p-Tree
These shouldn’t be math:
- To get the famous equation, write
$e = mc^2$
. - $22,000 is a lot of money. So is $34,000. (It worked if “lot” is emphasized.)
- Shoes ($20) and socks ($5).
- Escaped
$
: $73 this should be emphasized 23$.
Here’s a LaTeX table:
Special Characters
Here is some unicode:
- I hat: Î
- o umlaut: ö
- section: §
- set membership: ∈
- copyright: ©
AT&T has an ampersand in their name.
AT&T is another way to write it.
This & that.
4 < 5.
6 > 5.
Backslash: \
Links
Explicit
Just a URL.
Reference
Foo bar.
With embedded [brackets].
b by itself should be a link.
Indented once.
Indented twice.
Indented thrice.
This should [not][] be a link.
[not]: /url
Foo bar.
Foo biz.
With ampersands
Here’s a link with an ampersand in the URL.
Autolinks
- In a list?
- http://example.com/
- It should.
An e-mail address: nobody@nowhere.net
Blockquoted: http://example.com/
Auto-links should not occur here: <http://example.com/>
or here: <http://example.com/>
Images
From “Voyage dans la Lune” by Georges Melies (1902):

Here is a movie icon.
Footnotes
Here is a footnote reference,1 and another.2 This should not be a footnote reference, because it contains a space.[^my note] Here is an inline note.3
Notes can go in quotes.4
- And in list items.5
Pre and code
tell application "Foo"
beep
end tell
This paragraph should not be part of the note, as it is not indented.
Here is the footnote. It can go anywhere after the footnote reference. It need not be placed at the end of the document.↩︎
Here’s the long note. This one contains multiple blocks.
Subsequent blocks are indented to show that they belong to the footnote (as with list items).
{ <code> }
If you want, you can indent every line, but you can also be lazy and just indent the first line of each block.↩︎
This is easier to type. Inline notes may contain links and
]
verbatim characters, as well as [bracketed text].↩︎In quote.↩︎
In list.↩︎
