(Technical note: *Markdown Here* uses GFM line breaks, so there's no need to use MD's two-space line breaks.Have you ever wondered how these "readme.md" files are written on Github? Or how Blog posts like this are written? Whether you're new or you have been a programmer for a while then you probably have heard of "Markdown" but you probably never had the chance to learn it or you probably know some of it's syntax but can't quiet get the grasp of it. This line is also begins a separate paragraph, but. This line is only separated by a single newline, so it's a separate line in the *same paragraph*. This line is also a separate paragraph, but. This line is separated from the one above by two newlines, so it will be a *separate paragraph*. My basic recommendation for learning how line breaks work is to experiment and discover - hit once (i.e., insert one newline), then hit it twice (i.e., insert two newlines), see what happens.You can also use raw HTML in your Markdown, and it'll mostly work pretty well.Äoes *not* work **very** well. Oh, you can *put* **Markdown** into a blockquote. Oh boy let's keep writing to make sure this is long enough to actually wrap for everyone. > This is a very long line that will still be quoted properly when it wraps. > Blockquotes are very handy in email to emulate reply text. The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the raw Markdown line up prettily. They are an easy way of adding tables to your email - a task that would otherwise require copy-pasting from another application. Tables aren't part of the core Markdown spec, but they are part of GFM and *Markdown Here* supports them. Try it out in a *Markdown Here* email or a Github Markdown README or Github Issue - you can preview a new Issue without submitting it.)Īgain, to see what languages are available for highlighting, and how to write those language names, see the (). (Github Wiki pages don't seem to support syntax highlighting, so the above won't be colourful (the strings are not red, for example). No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting in Markdown Here (varies on Github). No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting. Var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting" I recommend only using the fenced code blocks - they're easier and only they support syntax highlighting. Inline `code` has `back-ticks around` it.Ä«locks of code are either fenced by lines with three back-ticks ```, or are indented with four spaces. *Markdown Here* supports highlighting for dozens of languages (and not-really-languages, like diffs and HTTP headers) to see the complete list, and how to write the language names, see the (). However, many renderers - like Github's and *Markdown Here* - support syntax highlighting.
