Video file extensions are automatically detected and will embed a small video player:
URLs for Youtube and Vimeo videos will also automatically embed a video player:
URLs for images may be surrounded in optional " quotation " marks. If your URL contains
parentheses, then it must be surrounded in quotation marks to make it unambigious.
Recall that URLs are not permitted to contain spaces (by their specification), so to embed
a local image whose filename has a space, either rename the file or replace the spaces
with %20 in the URL version of the name.
Admonitions are small break-out boxes with notes, tips, warnings, etc. for the reader. They begin with a title line of a pattern of three exclaimation marks, an optional CSS class, and an optional title. All following lines that are indented at least three spaces are included in the body, which may include multiple paragraphs.
The default stylesheet provides classes for "note" (default), "tip", "warning", and "error". These are case insensitive and ignore any colon after the CSS class. Here are some examples:
!!!
I'm a note. Don't mind me, I'm just sitting here.
!!! note
Another note.
!!! Tip
Close the door on the way out.
!!! WARNING
I'm a warning, perhaps. *Something might happen!*
!!! ERROR: Seriously
Watch out, something **bad** could happen.
This is still more error text.
!!! I'm a note. Don't mind me, I'm just sitting here.
!!! note Another note.
!!! Tip Close the door on the way out.
!!! WARNING I'm a warning, perhaps. Something might happen!
!!! ERROR: Seriously Watch out, something bad could happen.
This is still more error text.
Fenced Code Blocks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set off large blocks of code using equal-length strings of tilde `~`
or back-tick <code>`</code> characters. Each produces a different CSS
class so that they can be styled differently.
By default, tilde blocks have lines before and after them and are
inset for use as code listings instead of large inline code
blocks. Both styles receive syntax coloring and automatic programming
language detection.
You can override automatic programming language detection by putting
the name of the language immediately following the first fence. The
supported languages are (capitalization ignored):
`bash cs C# cpp C++ css coffeescript html XML http JSON java JavaScript Makefile`
`markdown objectivec Objective-C PHP perl python ruby shell armasm glsl go haskell`
`kotlin lisp lua matlab R rust scheme swift tex typescript yaml PyxlScript none`
You can specify a custom CSS class for a code block by placing its
name after the language name.
<pre><code>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ C</code>
void insertion_sort(int data[], int length) {
for (int i = 0; i < length; ++i) {
...
}
}
<code>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</code>
</pre>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ C
void insertion_sort(int data[], int length) {
for (int i = 0; i < length; ++i) {
...
}
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alternative back-tick markup:
````````````````````````````````````
def insertionSort(data):
for i in range(0, len(data)):
j = i;
while (j > 0) and (data[j] < data[j - 1]):
temp = data[j]
data[j] = data[j - 1]
data[j] = temp
--j
````````````````````````````````````
### Code Blocks with CaptionsCode listings may have captions:
def insertionSort(data):
for i in range(0, len(data)):
j = i;
while (j > 0) and (data[j] < data[j - 1]):
temp = data[j]
data[j] = data[j - 1]
data[j] = temp
--j[Listing [sort]: An insertion sort]
If you don't have a lot of exposition to share, then code blocks can be back to back:
printf("Hello\n");printf("World\n");Diagrams can be inserted alongside, as in this **************************** example, or between paragraphs of text as shown * .---------. * below. * | Server |<------. * * '----+----' | * The diagram parser leaves symbols used as labels * | | * unmodified, so characters like > and ( can appear * | DATA CYCLE | * inside of the diagram.

You can use CSS to style all diagrams or individual diagrams. For example, the following has light lines on a dark background:
You can also create unnumbered sections that will not appear in the table of contents using parentheses around the pound signs:
(##) Unnumbered H2
Browsers are even smart enough to break the columns correctly when printing to PDF or to a printer. However, for a long document, multiple columns don't work well when displayed on screen. That's because there are no discrete "pages" on screen to break columns. So, the browser will make each column as long as the entire document, which is probably not what you want.
So, multi-column only works well if you know that you have very short sections (as in this example), or if you were planning on printing to separate pages when done.
