This page demonstrates the Markdown syntax. It is primarily intended to see how Markdown renders within Jekyll. I use it to verify the effects of stylesheet changes.
(In this example, leading and trailing spaces are shown with with dots)
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.)
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.
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.
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 putMarkdown into a blockquote.
