Markdown formatting

heading = large heading with text “heading”

Source:

# heading = large heading with text "heading"

Headers can’t contain formatting markup - if it does, the text from the start of the formatting and onwards will be placed in a paragraph following the header.

heading = medium heading with text “heading”

Source:

## heading = medium heading with text "heading"

heading = small heading with text “heading”

Source:

### heading = small heading with text "heading"

Links

The source for the above is:

[link]     = create a hyperlink to an internal WikiPage called 'Link'.
[this is also a link] = create a hyperlink to an internal WikiPage called
                        'ThisIsAlsoALink' but show the link as typed with spaces.
[a sample](link) = create a hyperlink to an internal WikiPage called
                    'Link', but display the text 'a sample' to the
                    user instead of 'Link'.
~NoLink    = disable link creation for the word in CamelCase.
[1]        = make a reference to a footnote numbered 1.
[#1]       = mark the footnote number 1.
[[link]    = create text '[link]'.

Formatting

Source for the above list:

* *text*   = print "text" in italic.
* **text**   = print "text" in bold.
* `text`   = print "text" in monospaced font.

Here’s a horizontal ruler:

And it’s source:


----

Horizontal rulers require an empty line on each side.\Otherwise one will get a syntax/parsing error.

The previous paragraph contained a forced line break. The source looks like the following:

Horizontal rulers require an empty line on each side.\\Otherwise one will get a
syntax/parsing error.

Forced line breaks require at least one printing character following it on the same line (i.e. it can’t be the last thing on the line, and just a space after it isn’t enough), otherwise one will get a parsing error.

Lists

Lists can be nested up to three levels:

The source code for the bulleted list:

* 1 - text     = make a bulleted list item with *1 - text*
* 2 - first level, second item
    - 2.1 - next level, first item
    - 2.2 - next level - use the numbering to track the level and item nesting
    - 2.3 - test
    - 2.4 - test
* 3 - test
* 4 - test
    - 4.1 - test
    - 4.2 - test
        - 4.2.1 - third and final level, first item
        - 4.2.2 - test
        - 4.2.3 - test
        - 4.2.4 - test
    - 4.3 - test
* 5 - test

The same goes for numbered lists:

  1. 1 - text = make a numbered list item with 1 - text
  2. 2 - first level, second item
    1. 2.1 - next level, first item
    2. 2.2 - next level - use the numbering to track the level and item nesting
    3. 2.3 - test
    4. 2.4 - test
  3. 3 - test
  4. 4 - test
    1. 4.1 - test
    2. 4.2 - test
      1. 4.2.1 - third and final level, first item
      2. 4.2.2 - test
      3. 4.2.3 - test
      4. 4.2.4 - test
    3. 4.3 - test
  5. 5 - test

Source:

1. 1 - text     = make a numbered list item with *1 - text*
1. 2 - first level, second item
    1. 2.1 - next level, first item
    1. 2.2 - next level - use the numbering to track the level and item nesting
    1. 2.3 - test
    1. 2.4 - test
1. 3 - test
1. 4 - test
    1. 4.1 - test
    1. 4.2 - test
        1. 4.2.1 - third and final level, first item
        1. 4.2.2 - test
        1. 4.2.3 - test
        1. 4.2.4 - test
    1. 4.3 - test
1. 5 - test

It is NOT possible to mix numbered and bulleted lists.

Definition lists do not work:

Source:

* **term**: ex   = make a definition for *term* with the explanation *ex*

Tables

The following code:

|   table | header
| --- | ---
|   normal | cell

gives this table:

table header
normal cell
