Paragraphs are separated by a blank line.

2nd paragraph. Italic, bold, and monospace. Itemized lists look like:

  • this one
  • that one
  • the other one

Note that – not considering the asterisk – the actual text content starts at 4-columns in.

Block quotes are written like so.

They can span multiple paragraphs, if you like. if you like. if you like. if you like. if you like. if you like. if you like. if you like. if you like.

Use 3 dashes for an em-dash. Use 2 dashes for ranges (ex., “it’s all in chapters 12–14”). Three dots … will be converted to an ellipsis. Unicode is supported. ☺

An h2 header

Here’s a numbered list:

  1. first item
  2. second item
  3. third item

Code:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
import time

# Quick, count to ten!
for i in range(10):
    # (but not *too* quick)
    time.sleep(0.5)
    print i
    call("a  function", with lots of arguments, wow what a long line of code, damn son, wowwwww, yeah, okay no don't do this)

More code:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
# Quick, count to ten!
for i in range(10):
    # (but not *too* quick)
    time.sleep(0.5)
    print i

# Quick, count to ten!
for i in range(10):
    # (but not *too* quick)
    time.sleep(0.5)
    print i

text after code.

An h3 header

Now a nested list:

  1. First, get these ingredients:
    • carrots
    • celery
    • lentils
  2. Boil some water.
  3. Dump everything in the pot and follow this algorithm: find wooden spoon uncover pot stir cover pot balance wooden spoon precariously on pot handle wait 10 minutes goto first step (or shut off burner when done) Do not bump wooden spoon or it will fall.

Notice again how text always lines up on 4-space indents (including that last line which continues item 3 above).

Here’s a link to a website, to a local doc, and to a section heading in the current doc worlds longest link one two tree. Here’s a footnote1. Here’s another.2

Tables can look like this:

Line First Header Second Header
01 Content Cell Content Cell
02 Content Cell Content Cell
03 Content Cell Content Cell
04 Content Cell Content Cell
05 Content Cell Content Cell

A horizontal rule follows.


and images can be specified like so:

a sine

with captions.

smaller:

stellated

Inline math equations go in like so: \(\omega = d\phi / dt\). Display math should get its own line and be put in in double-dollarsigns:

$$I = \int \rho R^{2} dV$$

And note that you can backslash-escape any punctuation characters which you wish to be displayed literally, ex.: `foo`, *bar*, etc.


  1. Footnote text goes here. 

  2. Real long footnote. Sometimes, you just have to put a lot of text in a footnote, you know. One Two Three Four One Two Three Four One Two Three Four One Two Three Four.
