This page is used to demonstrate the markup available for this website. This text is set with the yaml metadata variable and will appear above the table of contents.

See GitHub Flavored Markdown Spec for the format spec.

This is an orphan paragraph without a title, and will appear directly under the table of contents.

Title and subtitle

title: test
subtitle: markdown test page for this blog.

Not every markup allowed in GFM or HTML is tested though it will probably work. The examples are followed with a code block showing how it was created.

See markdown cheatsheet for more examples.

Tables

Pipe tables are the only type supported by default.

default left center right
d l c r
this row is even
this row is odd
rows hi ghli ght on hover
| default | left | center | right |
| ------- |:---- |:------:| -----:|
| d       | l    | c      | r     |
| this    | row  | is     | even  |

mixed html table with markdown text

You can’t put markdown inside a html table

mixed *html*_table_ **with**
__markdown__ textdoesn't work
<table>
<tr><td>mixed *html*</td><td>_table_ **with**</td></tr>
<tr><td>__markdown__ text</td><td>doesn't work</td></tr>
</table>

multi-line tables

This doesn’t work:

column 1 column 2
value * value 1
* value 2
–––– –––––
value * value 1
* value 2
| column 1 | column 2  |
| -------- | --------- |
| value    | * value 1 |
|          | * value 2 |
| -------- | --------- |
| value    | * value 1 |
|          | * value 2 |

Use ether ul or ol to get itemised lists, or br for newlines:

column 1 column 2
value
  • value 1
  • value 2
value
  • value 1
  • value 2
value value 1
value 2
value value 1
value 2
| column 1 | column 2                                  |
| -------- | --------                                  |
| value    | <ul><li>value 1</li><li>value 2</li></ul> |
| value    | <ul><li>value 1</li><li>value 2</li></ul> |
| value    | value 1<br />value 2                      |
| value    | value 1<br />value 2                      |

multi-column cells

afaik, there is currently no way to do this in GFM markdown, unless you use HTML.

column 1 column 2 column 3
value 1 value 2 value 3
value 1 value 2
value 1 value 2
value 1 value 2
value 1
value 1
value 1
| column 1 | column 2 | column 3 |
| -------- | -------- | -------- |
| value 1  | value 2  | value 3  |
| value 1  | value 2  ||
| value 1  || value 2 |
|| value 1  | value 2 |
| value 1  |||
|| value 1  ||
||| value 1  |

multi-row cells

afaik, there is currently no way to do this in GFM markdown, unless you use HTML. See above multi-column cells.

| First line of the poem | | Second line of the poem | | Third line of the poem |

incomplete rows

Rows lacking the complete markup have no impact.

colone coltwo colthree colfour
every col is used
only onecol
onecol twocol
every col is used
only onecol
| colone      | coltwo | colthree | colfour |

Two dollar signs and the equation will be on it’s own and centered, E = mc2 like that. No matter where it appears, even mid sentence.

Comments

Note: You have to view page source to see the results in the html output

Normal html comment:

<!-- html comment two dashes -->

Three dashes doesn’t seem to make a difference compared to normal html comment:

<!--- html comment three dashes -->

Don’t use the below, it’s just here to see what happens:

<? question marks ?>

<? multiple lines

with newline breaks ?>

Below is a link hack which hides the comment completely from the html output:

Lorem Ipsum

Big chunks of text to test paragraph alignment.

The following paragaph has default formatting:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed sed ligula ac felis pretium dictum quis eget turpis. In laoreet dictum ante in vestibulum. Nullam vitae turpis ipsum. Pellentesque ultrices eros diam, aliquet fringilla odio interdum vitae. Maecenas a ipsum pretium, placerat nulla et, convallis nunc. Vivamus eleifend gravida nulla, eget scelerisque massa. In sagittis est elit, elementum sollicitudin tellus tempus id. Suspendisse malesuada lacinia tortor, vel bibendum odio gravida at. Sed condimentum cursus nunc sit amet faucibus. Sed maximus justo dui, in consequat neque faucibus at. Aliquam nec suscipit erat. Etiam sed convallis nibh. Sed at arcu enim.

Blockquote

The following paragaph is a blockquote using > at the start of each line:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed sed ligula ac felis pretium dictum quis eget turpis. In laoreet dictum ante in vestibulum. Nullam vitae turpis ipsum. Pellentesque ultrices eros diam, aliquet fringilla odio interdum vitae. Maecenas a ipsum pretium, placerat nulla et, convallis nunc. Vivamus eleifend gravida nulla, eget scelerisque massa. In sagittis est elit, elementum sollicitudin tellus tempus id. Suspendisse malesuada lacinia tortor, vel bibendum odio gravida at. Sed condimentum cursus nunc sit amet faucibus. Sed maximus justo dui, in consequat neque faucibus at. Aliquam nec suscipit erat. Etiam sed convallis nibh. Sed at arcu enim.

Ragged left

Pellentesque ultrices eros diam, aliquet fringilla odio interdum vitae. Maecenas a ipsum pretium, placerat nulla et, convallis nunc. Vivamus eleifend gravida nulla, eget scelerisque massa.

Sed maximus justo dui, in consequat neque faucibus at. Aliquam nec suscipit erat. Etiam sed convallis nibh. Sed at arcu enim.

Centered

The following paragaph is contained in a <div align=center></div> block:

Sed maximus justo dui, in consequat neque faucibus at. Aliquam nec suscipit erat. Etiam sed convallis nibh. Sed at arcu enim.

Ragged right

The following paragaph is contained in a <div align=right></div> block:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed sed ligula ac felis pretium dictum quis eget turpis. In laoreet dictum ante in vestibulum. Nullam vitae turpis ipsum. Pellentesque ultrices eros diam, aliquet fringilla odio interdum vitae. Maecenas a ipsum pretium, placerat nulla et, convallis nunc. Vivamus eleifend gravida nulla, eget scelerisque massa.

Sed maximus justo dui, in consequat neque faucibus at. Aliquam nec suscipit erat. Etiam sed convallis nibh. Sed at arcu enim.

Justify

The following paragaph is contained in a <div align=justify></div> block:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed sed ligula ac felis pretium dictum quis eget turpis. In laoreet dictum ante in vestibulum. Nullam vitae turpis ipsum. Pellentesque ultrices eros diam, aliquet fringilla odio interdum vitae. Maecenas a ipsum pretium, placerat nulla et, convallis nunc. Vivamus eleifend gravida nulla, eget scelerisque massa.

Sed maximus justo dui, in consequat neque faucibus at. Aliquam nec suscipit erat. Etiam sed convallis nibh. Sed at arcu enim.

Code

The following paragaph is contained in a fenced code block using three backticks:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed sed ligula
ac felis pretium dictum quis eget turpis. In laoreet dictum ante in
vestibulum. Nullam vitae turpis ipsum. Pellentesque ultrices eros
diam, aliquet fringilla odio interdum vitae. Maecenas a ipsum pretium,
placerat nulla et, convallis nunc. Vivamus eleifend gravida nulla, eget

and this uses three tildes:

scelerisque massa. In sagittis est elit, elementum sollicitudin tellus
tempus id. Suspendisse malesuada lacinia tortor, vel bibendum odio
gravida at. Sed condimentum cursus nunc sit amet faucibus. Sed maximus
justo dui, in consequat neque faucibus at. Aliquam nec suscipit erat.
Etiam sed convallis nibh. Sed at arcu enim.
