Introduction¶
Markdown is a markup language designed to be simple enough to let anyone write structured documents without the need of a visual editor
I strongly encourage you to change the source of the various parts to see what happens (the output will change as
Basic styles¶
With this markup you can obtain simple emhpasis (usually rendered in italic text), strong emphasis (usually rendered in bold text), source code text (usually rendered in monospaced text), or ~~strikethrough~~ text (usually rendered with a line through text).
You may use also _this_ or __this__ notation to emphatize text, and you can use all them _**`together`**_ (and you can mix * and _ )
If you look at the source code you may note that even if you break the lines, the text is kept together in a single paragraph
Paragraphs are delimited by blank lines, leading and trailing spaces are removed
You may force a line break with two spaces or with a ``at the end of
Links¶
- You can insert links in text like [this](/tutorial.md)
- You may add a [title](https://agea.github.io/tutorial.md “Markdown Tutorial”) to your link (can you see the tooltip?)
- If your link contains spaces you have to write the [link](<http://example.com/a space>) between <>
- You can use spaces and markup inside the [link text](https://agea.github.io/tutorial.md)
- Long links may decrease source readability, so it’s posible to define all links somewhere in the document (the end is a good place) and just reference the [link][tutorial.md], you may also collapse the reference if it matches the link text (example: [tutorial.md][])
- You may also write directly the link: <https://agea.github.io/tutorial.md>
- It will work also for email addresses: <email@example.com> (you may write vaild email links also using [mailto](mailto:email@example.com) as protocol)
