Markdown features

Only those I’m not familiar with. This file will eventually disappear!

Tables

Markdown doesn’t natively generate borders, but these tables have them because of the global styles in astro-blog.css

Right aligned columns

Emphasis

This is another way to do bold text

Lists

Unordered

• Create a list by starting a line with +, -, or *
• Sub-lists are made by indenting 2 spaces:
  • Marker character change forces new list start:
    • Ac tristique libero volutpat at
    • Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
    • Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
• Very easy!

Ordered

1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

2. Consectetur adipiscing elit

3. Integer molestie lorem at massa

4. You can use sequential numbers…

5. …or keep all the numbers as 1.

Start numbering with offset:

57. foo
58. bar

Horizontal Rules - 3 forms

Code

Single escape character >

Inline code

Indented code

// Some comments
line 1 of code
line 2 of code
line 3 of code

Block code “fences”

Sample text here...

Syntax highlighting

var foo = function (bar) {
  return bar++;
};

console.log(foo(5));

Blockquotes

Blockquotes can also be nested…

…by using additional greater-than signs right next to each other…

…or with spaces between arrows.
