Testing Commonmark features

We are testing the Commonmark features

Headings

h1 Heading 8-)

h2 Heading

h3 Heading

h4 Heading

h5 Heading
h6 Heading

Emphasis

Emphasis, aka italics, with asterisks or underscores.

Strong emphasis, aka bold, with asterisks or underscores.

Combined emphasis with asterisks and underscores.

Strikethrough uses two tildes. Scratch this.

This is bold text

This is bold text

This is italic text

Lists

  1. First ordered list item

  2. Another item

    • Unordered sub-list.
  3. Actual numbers don’t matter, just that it’s a number

    1. Ordered sub-list
  4. And another item.

    You can have properly indented paragraphs within list items. Notice the blank line above, and the leading spaces (at least one, but we’ll use three here to also align the raw Markdown).

    To have a line break without a paragraph, you will need to use two trailing spaces.
    Note that this line is separate, but within the same paragraph.
    (This is contrary to the typical GFM line break behaviour, where trailing spaces are not required.)

  1. Make my changes
    1. Fix bug
    2. Improve formatting
      • Make the headings bigger
  2. Push my commits to GitHub
  3. Open a pull request
    • Describe my changes
    • Mention all the members of my team
      • Ask for feedback

Code & Syntax Highlighting

Inline code has back-ticks around it.

Links

I’m an inline-style link

I’m an inline-style link with title

I’m a reference-style link

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.

Images

Here’s our logo (hover to see the title text):

Inline-style: alt text

Reference-style: alt text

Minion Stormtroopocat

Like links, Images also have a footnote style syntax

Alt text

With a reference later in the document defining the URL location:

Thumbnails

Original image:

A person wearing a headset while seated on a virtual sofa

Another standard Markdown image:

A person wearing a headset while seated on a virtual sofa

Images adapt to the available content width:

A person wearing a headset while seated on a virtual sofa

Footnotes

Footnote 1 link1.

Footnote 2 link2.

Inline footnote3 definition.

Duplicated footnote reference2.

Tables

Colons can be used to align columns.

Tables Are Cool
col 3 is right-aligned $1600
col 2 is centered $12
zebra stripes are neat $1

There must be at least 3 dashes separating each header cell. The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don’t need to make the raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.

Markdown Less Pretty

Blockquotes

Blockquotes are very handy in email to emulate reply text. This line is part of the same quote.

Quote break.

This is a very long line that will still be quoted properly when it wraps. Oh boy let’s keep writing to make sure this is long enough to actually wrap for everyone. Oh, you can put Markdown into a blockquote.

Blockquotes can also be nested…

…by using additional greater-than signs right next to each other…

…or with spaces between arrows.

Collapsible Asides

You can create collapsible asides by using standard HTML <details> and <summary> elements:

Click to expand this aside

This is the content inside the aside. It starts collapsed and expands when you click the title.

You can include any markdown or HTML content here:

  • Lists
  • Code blocks
  • Images
  • Whatever you need!
Another example aside

Multiple asides work independently. Each one can be expanded or collapsed separately.

console.log("Code works too!");

Footnotes

  1. Footnote can have markup

    and multiple paragraphs. ↩

  2. Footnote text. ↩ ↩2

  3. Text of inline footnote ↩
