1GitHub Flavored Markdown 2================================ 3 4*View the [source of this content](http://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/sample_content.html).* 5 6Let's get the whole "linebreak" thing out of the way. The next paragraph contains two phrases separated by a single newline character: 7 8Roses are red 9Violets are blue 10 11The next paragraph has the same phrases, but now they are separated by two spaces and a newline character: 12 13Roses are red 14Violets are blue 15 16Oh, and one thing I cannot stand is the mangling of words with multiple underscores in them like perform_complicated_task or do_this_and_do_that_and_another_thing. 17 18A bit of the GitHub spice 19------------------------- 20 21In addition to the changes in the previous section, certain references are auto-linked: 22 23* SHA: be6a8cc1c1ecfe9489fb51e4869af15a13fc2cd2 24* User@SHA ref: mojombo@be6a8cc1c1ecfe9489fb51e4869af15a13fc2cd2 25* User/Project@SHA: mojombo/god@be6a8cc1c1ecfe9489fb51e4869af15a13fc2cd2 26* \#Num: #1 27* User/#Num: mojombo#1 28* User/Project#Num: mojombo/god#1 29 30These are dangerous goodies though, and we need to make sure email addresses don't get mangled: 31 32My email addy is tom@github.com. 33 34Math is hard, let's go shopping 35------------------------------- 36 37In first grade I learned that 5 > 3 and 2 < 7. Maybe some arrows. 1 -> 2 -> 3. 9 <- 8 <- 7. 38 39Triangles man! a^2 + b^2 = c^2 40 41We all like making lists 42------------------------ 43 44The above header should be an H2 tag. Now, for a list of fruits: 45 46* Red Apples 47* Purple Grapes 48* Green Kiwifruits 49 50Let's get crazy: 51 521. This is a list item with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor 53 sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit 54 mi posuere lectus. 55 56 Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet 57 vitae, risus. Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum 58 sit amet velit. 59 602. Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing. 61 62What about some code **in** a list? That's insane, right? 63 641. In Ruby you can map like this: 65 66 ['a', 'b'].map { |x| x.uppercase } 67 682. In Rails, you can do a shortcut: 69 70 ['a', 'b'].map(&:uppercase) 71 72Some people seem to like definition lists 73 74<dl> 75 <dt>Lower cost</dt> 76 <dd>The new version of this product costs significantly less than the previous one!</dd> 77 <dt>Easier to use</dt> 78 <dd>We've changed the product so that it's much easier to use!</dd> 79</dl> 80 81I am a robot 82------------ 83 84Maybe you want to print `robot` to the console 1000 times. Why not? 85 86 def robot_invasion 87 puts("robot " * 1000) 88 end 89 90You see, that was formatted as code because it's been indented by four spaces. 91 92How about we throw some angle braces and ampersands in there? 93 94 <div class="footer"> 95 © 2004 Foo Corporation 96 </div> 97 98Set in stone 99------------ 100 101Preformatted blocks are useful for ASCII art: 102 103<pre> 104 ,-. 105 , ,-. ,-. 106 / \ ( )-( ) 107 \ | ,.>-( )-< 108 \|,' ( )-( ) 109 Y ___`-' `-' 110 |/__/ `-' 111 | 112 | 113 | -hrr- 114 ___|_____________ 115</pre> 116 117Playing the blame game 118---------------------- 119 120If you need to blame someone, the best way to do so is by quoting them: 121 122> I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice. 123 124Or perhaps someone a little less eloquent: 125 126> I wish you'd have given me this written question ahead of time so I 127> could plan for it... I'm sure something will pop into my head here in 128> the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to 129> come up with answer, but it hadn't yet... 130> 131> I don't want to sound like 132> I have made no mistakes. I'm confident I have. I just haven't - you 133> just put me under the spot here, and maybe I'm not as quick on my feet 134> as I should be in coming up with one. 135 136Table for two 137------------- 138 139<table> 140 <tr> 141 <th>ID</th><th>Name</th><th>Rank</th> 142 </tr> 143 <tr> 144 <td>1</td><td>Tom Preston-Werner</td><td>Awesome</td> 145 </tr> 146 <tr> 147 <td>2</td><td>Albert Einstein</td><td>Nearly as awesome</td> 148 </tr> 149</table> 150 151Crazy linking action 152-------------------- 153 154I get 10 times more traffic from [Google] [1] than from 155[Yahoo] [2] or [MSN] [3]. 156 157 [1]: http://google.com/ "Google" 158 [2]: http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search" 159 [3]: http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search" 160
