Markdown

01 January, 2010

Ignore this article

This is just to show how to use Markdown as used on the FVO website

We write our text in something called Markdown. You can write lines of text and they will be pulled together and formatted into a paragraph.

If you want to start a second paragraph. The easiest way is to leave a blank line in between. Then the reformatting and flowing of text will begin.

The buttons at the top will help you use create more complicated things than just paragraph, including forms of heading. You are most like to want to split your text with at most level 3 (H3) or level 4 (H4) headings

A level 3 heading

And some text. See we don't need a blank line between our heading and the next paragraph.

Level 4 heading

This is a slightly less serious level of heading. Level 1 and Level 2 both work the same way with a single and double hash. (Though if you try the buttons you will see there is an alternative way of doing it. In this paragraph i have kept typing and not typed a carriage return at the end of the line.

It is easy to do bold text or italic text or even bolded and italicised text. If you do just a single star, you can see that currently it comes out italicised.

Now we should try and get tricksy. We can do lists

• item 1
  • item 1a
  • item 1 b
    
• item 2
  
• item 3
  and this is the end
  and another line

And now with a full blank line, we have finished the list completely. or we can try it with pluses. We can also do numbered lists.

1. red
   
2. greeen
   
3. blueeeee
   

and now onto tables which are easy.

You don't need to mark the bottom of the table. Now onto hyperlinks. We can do them like this.

We can also put in mailing links. Email David and links to pictures
