This post is originated from here and is used for testing markdown style. This post contains nearly every markdown usage. Make sure all the markdown elements below show up correctly.
Headers
1 | # H1 |
H1
H2
H3
H4
H5
H6
Alternatively, for H1 and H2, an underline-ish style:
Alt-H1
Alt-H2
Emphasis
1 | Emphasis, aka italics, with *asterisks* or _underscores_. |
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.
Lists
1 | 1. First ordered list item |
- First ordered list item
- Another item
- Unordered sub-list.
Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number
Ordered sub-list
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.)
- Unordered list can use asterisks
- Or minuses
- Or pluses
Paragraph In unordered list
For example like this.
Common Paragraph with some text.
And more text.
Inline HTML
1 | <p>To reboot your computer, press <kbd>ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>alt</kbd>+<kbd>del</kbd>.</p> |
To reboot your computer, press ctrl+alt+del.
1 | <dl> |
- Definition list
- Is something people use sometimes.
<dt>Markdown in HTML</dt>
<dd>Does *not* work **very** well. Use HTML <em>tags</em>.</dd>
Links
1 | [I'm an inline-style link](https://www.google.com) |
I'm an inline-style link with title
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
Some text to show that the reference links can follow later.

Code and Syntax Highlighting
Inline code
has back-ticks around
it.
1 | var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting"; |
1 | s = "Python syntax highlighting" |
1 | No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting. |
Tables
1 | | |ASCII |HTML | |
ASCII | HTML | |
---|---|---|
Single backticks | 'Isn't this fun?' | 'Isn't this fun?' |
Quotes | "Isn't this fun?" | "Isn't this fun?" |
Dashes | -- is en-dash, --- is em-dash | -- is en-dash, --- is em-dash |
Colons can be used to align columns.
1 | | Tables | Are | Cool | |
Tables | Are | Cool |
---|---|---|
col 3 is | right-aligned | |
col 2 is | centered | |
zebra stripes | are neat |
The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.
1 | 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.
Horizontal Rule
Three or more...

Hyphens
Asterisks
Underscores
Line Breaks
1 | Here's a line for us to start with. |
Here's a line for us to start with.
This line is separated from the one above by two newlines, so it will be a separate paragraph.
This line is also a separate paragraph, but...
This line is only separated by a single newline, so it's a separate line in the same paragraph.
1 | This is a regular paragraph. |
This is a regular paragraph.
Foo |
This is another regular paragraph.
