Tables

Markdown Extra has a special syntax for tables:

You can specify column alignment with one or two colons:

Lists

• Item 1
• Item 2
  • Subitem 2.1
  • Subitem 2.2
• Item 3

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
   • Subitem 2.1
   • Subitem 2.2
3. Item 3

Blockquotes

You can write block quotes.

This is a block quote. It’s split over multiple lines.

It can also have multiple paragraphs.

Math (with MathJax)

You can render LaTeX mathematical expressions using MathJax, as on math.stackexchange.com:

There are inline equations like \( y = x + 2 \) indicated by \\( ... \\).

You can also display an equation (not inline displayed) using inline code, like \[ y = x + 4\] which you do with \\[ ... \\].

Or you can display a block of math by surrounding it with $$ ... $$. Like this:

Tip: Make sure you include MathJax into your publications to render mathematical expression correctly. Your page/template should include something like:

<script type="text/javascript" async src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/mathjax/2.7.2/MathJax.js?config=TeX-MML-AM_CHTML">

Code

Inline code

Code embedded in a paragraph looks like this is code. Code can also be in blocks with or without line numbers.

Code blocks

Code blocks have syntax highlighting courtesy of highlight.js. You can specify the code language and whether you want the code block to include line numbers. (You can include line numbers using just linenos instead of linenos=table, but this puts the line numbers in the same lines as the code so that it becomes impossible to copy and paste.)

Without line numbers:

  def print_hi(name)
    puts "Hi, #{name}"
  end
  print_hi('Tom')
  #=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT. This is a long line to test scrolling if it goes past the box.

With line numbers:

1
2
3
4
5
  def print_hi(name)
    puts "Hi, #{name}"
  end
  print_hi('Tom')
  #=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.

Definition Lists

Markdown Extra has a special syntax for definition lists too:

Term 1

Term 2

Definition A

Definition B

Term 3

Definition C

Definition D

part of definition D

Dividers

Divide up sections and stuff with dividers.

They look like that.

Font weights and styles

This text is bold text.

This is italicized text.

Links and Footnotes

You can create footnotes like this¹.

You can embed links with a direct link, like this link to Google. Links can also be in a separated form like this link to the Jekyll documention. (That’s useful if you want to link to the same website multiple times like this.)
