<spanid=top-github-link-text>Edit this page</span>
<p>Let’s face it: Writing content for the Web is tiresome. WYSIWYG editors help alleviate this task, but they generally result in horrible code, or worse yet, ugly web pages.</p>
<p><strong>Markdown</strong> is a better way to write <strong>HTML</strong>, without all the complexities and ugliness that usually accompanies it.</p>
<p>Some of the key benefits are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Markdown is simple to learn, with minimal extra characters so it’s also quicker to write content.</li>
<li>Less chance of errors when writing in Markdown.</li>
<li>Produces valid XHTML output.</li>
<li>Keeps the content and the visual display separate, so you cannot mess up the look of your site.</li>
<li>Write in any text editor or Markdown application you like.</li>
<li>Markdown is a joy to use!</li>
</ol>
<p>John Gruber, the author of Markdown, puts it like this:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While Markdown’s syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML filters, the single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown’s syntax is the format of plain text email.
<cite>John Gruber</cite></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Without further delay, let us go over the main elements of Markdown and what the resulting HTML looks like:</p>
<divclass="notices info">

<h2id=headings>Headings</h2>
<p>Headings from <code>h1</code> through <code>h6</code> are constructed with a <code>#</code> for each level:</p>
</code></pre></div><p>Comment below should <strong>NOT</strong> be seen:</p>
<h2id=horizontal-rules>Horizontal Rules</h2>
<p>The HTML <code><hr></code> element is for creating a “thematic break” between paragraph-level elements. In Markdown, you can create a <code><hr></code> with <code>---</code> - three consecutive dashes</p>
<p>renders to:</p>
<hr>
<h2id=paragraphs>Paragraphs</h2>
<p>Any text not starting with a special sign is written as normal, plain text and will be wrapped within <code><p></p></code> tags in the rendered HTML.</p>
<p>So this body copy:</p>

<h2id=lists>Lists</h2>
<h3id=unordered>Unordered</h3>
<p>A list of items in which the order of the items does not explicitly matter.</p>
<p>You may use any of the following symbols to denote bullets for each list item:</p>

<divclass=label>Tip</div><p>If you just use <code>1.</code> for each number, Markdown will automatically number each item. For example:</p>

<h2id=code>Code</h2>
<h3id=inline-code>Inline code</h3>
<p>Wrap inline snippets of code with <code>`</code>.</p>
<divclass=highlight><pretabindex=0style=color:#e2e4e5;background-color:#282a36;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><codeclass=language-markdowndata-lang=markdown>In this example, <spanstyle=color:#5af78e>`<div></div>`</span> should be wrapped as <spanstyle=font-style:italic>**code**</span>.
</code></pre></div><p>Renders to:</p>
<p>In this example, <code><div></div></code> should be wrapped as <strong>code</strong>.</p>
<p>HTML:</p>
<divclass=highlight><pretabindex=0style=color:#e2e4e5;background-color:#282a36;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><codeclass=language-htmldata-lang=html><<spanstyle=color:#ff6ac1>p</span>>In this example, <<spanstyle=color:#ff6ac1>code</span>>&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</<spanstyle=color:#ff6ac1>code</span>> should be wrapped as <<spanstyle=color:#ff6ac1>strong</span>>code</<spanstyle=color:#ff6ac1>strong</span>>.</<spanstyle=color:#ff6ac1>p</span>>
<p>Or indent several lines of code by at least two spaces, as in:</p>
<divclass=highlight><pretabindex=0style=color:#e2e4e5;background-color:#282a36;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><codeclass=language-markdowndata-lang=markdown> // Some comments
<p>GFM, or “GitHub Flavored Markdown” also supports syntax highlighting. To activate it, usually you simply add the file extension of the language you want to use directly after the first code “fence”, <code>```js</code>, and syntax highlighting will automatically be applied in the rendered HTML.</p>
<p>Tables are created by adding pipes as dividers between each cell, and by adding a line of dashes (also separated by bars) beneath the header. Note that the pipes do not need to be vertically aligned.</p>
<<spanstyle=color:#ff6ac1>td</span>>path to data files to supply the data that will be passed into templates.</<spanstyle=color:#ff6ac1>td</span>>
<<spanstyle=color:#ff6ac1>td</span>>engine to be used for processing templates. Handlebars is the default.</<spanstyle=color:#ff6ac1>td</span>>
<p>Named anchors enable you to jump to the specified anchor point on the same page. For example, each of these chapters:</p>
<divclass=highlight><pretabindex=0style=color:#e2e4e5;background-color:#282a36;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4><codeclass=language-markdowndata-lang=markdown><spanstyle=font-weight:700># Table of Contents
</span><spanstyle=font-weight:700></span>Content for chapter one.
</code></pre></div><p><strong>NOTE</strong> that specific placement of the anchor tag seems to be arbitrary. They are placed inline here since it seems to be unobtrusive, and it works.</p>
<h2id=images>Images</h2>
<p>Images have a similar syntax to links but include a preceding exclamation point.</p>
<p>The Hugo Markdown parser supports additional non-standard functionality.</p>
<h4id=resizing-image>Resizing image</h4>
<p>Add HTTP parameters <code>width</code> and/or <code>height</code> to the link image to resize the image. Values are CSS values (default is <code>auto</code>).</p>
<p>Add a HTTP <code>classes</code> parameter to the link image to add CSS classes. <code>shadow</code>and <code>border</code> are available but you could define other ones.</p>
<p>Add a HTTP <code>featherlight</code> parameter to the link image to disable lightbox. By default lightbox is enabled using the featherlight.js plugin. You can disable this by defining <code>featherlight</code> to <code>false</code>.</p>
