Markdown Syntax & Style

Basic Syntax

I just love bold text. Italicized text is the cat’s meow. Both can look cool too.

At the command prompt, type nano.
And then press CTRL+ALT+Delete to end the session.

Sometimes, when I want to talk about #lua, for example, I’ll use a hashtag when I’m writing. That lets me keep things, sorta #linked. I’m also supporting at-ing folk, like this: @sarah, but that’s just a fancy hashtag.

Some links

1. This is a link to another internal page, which might interest you.
2. This one is an anchor on this page, which you’ve probably seen.
3. External links:
   • This is a link to something neat;
   • A different link;
   • And one more just for good measure.

I’m also expecting raw urls, like: https😕/accidental.cc to be automatically linked.

Do email addresses work? jon@accidental.cc

Some bullet lists

Later, I can add some bullet lists with paragraphs in them.

• I kind of want to see what it’s going to look like to have potentially full paragraphs of text per bullet.

  • This tends to be the way that I write, since the extra structure keeps me from getting lost in my own head.

  • This would be another paragraph under the first, curious what that’s going to look like from a rendering perspective.

    • This is a third level.

• And another top level.

Are tasks lists useful?

• Take out the trash
• Finish this website
• Make coffee

Some inline styles

The world is flat. We now know that the world is round.

I’ve got code here, which is important. I like emacs, with evil for vim-like modal editing.

Do we do anything with #hashtags? I think it would be useful to extract and style/link them from #homepost entries.

That said, we shouldn’t be finding things in#themiddle#ofwords nor with@signs

GIF is a bitmap image format.

H₂O is a good molecule.

Inline math: $a^n = b^n + c^n$

Fake inline math: Xⁿ + Yⁿ = Zⁿ

Emojis! Thumbs up: 👍, thumbs down: 👎

Press CTRL+ALT+Delete to end the session.

Most salamanders are nocturnal, and hunt for insects, worms, and other small creatures.

Note that you can use Markdown syntax within a blockquote.
