Emphasis
Emphasis, aka italics, with asterisks or underscores.
Strong emphasis, aka bold, with asterisks or underscores.
Combined emphasis with asterisks and underscores.
Strikethrough uses two tildes. Scratch this.
Link
I’m an inline-style link with title
I’m a relative reference to a repository file
You can use numbers for reference-style link definitions
Or leave it empty and use the link text itself.
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.
Paragraph
There is something magical about waking up before sunrise and heading out onto the trail while the world is still half-asleep. The air carries that particular freshness you can only find early in the morning, and the light — golden and low — makes everything look more beautiful than it probably deserves.

Code and Syntax Highlighting
Inline code has back-ticks around it.
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
s = "Python syntax highlighting"
print s
No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting.
But let's throw in a <b>tag</b>.
Blockquote
This is a blockquote example.
Inline HTML
You can also use raw HTML in your Markdown, and it’ll mostly work pretty well.
- Definition list
- Is something people use sometimes.
- Markdown in HTML
- Does *not* work **very** well. Use HTML tags.
Tables
Colons can be used to align columns.
| Tables | Are | Cool |
|---|---|---|
| col 3 is | right-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is | centered | $12 |
| zebra stripes | are neat | $1 |
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.
| Markdown | Less | Pretty |
|---|---|---|
| Still | renders | nicely |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
