Paragraphs are separated by a blank line.
2nd paragraph. Italic, bold, and monospace. Itemized lists
look like:
Note that --- not considering the asterisk --- the actual text
content starts at 4-columns in.
Use 3 dashes for an em-dash. Use 2 dashes for ranges (ex., "it's all
in chapters 12--14"). Three dots ... will be converted to an ellipsis.
Unicode is supported. ☺
Here's a numbered list:
Note again how the actual text starts at 4 columns in (4 characters
from the left side). Here's a code sample:
As you probably guessed, indented 4 spaces. By the way, instead of
indenting the block, you can use delimited blocks, if you like:
(which makes copying & pasting easier). You can optionally mark the
delimited block for Pandoc to syntax highlight it:
Now a nested list:
Notice again how text always lines up on 4-space indents (including
that last line which continues item 3 above).
Here's a link to a website, to a local
doc, and to a section heading in the current
doc. Here's a footnote [^1].
[^1]: Some footnote text.
Tables can look like this:
Name Size Material Color
All Business 9 leather brown
Roundabout 10 hemp canvas natural
Cinderella 11 glass transparent
Table: Shoes sizes, materials, and colors.
(The above is the caption for the table.) Pandoc also supports
multi-line tables:
Keyword Text
red Sunsets, apples, and
other red or reddish
things.
green Leaves, grass, frogs
and other things it's
not easy being.
A horizontal rule follows.
Here's a definition list:
apples
: Good for making applesauce.
oranges
: Citrus!
tomatoes
: There's no "e" in tomatoe.
Again, text is indented 4 spaces. (Put a blank line between each
term and its definition to spread things out more.)
Here's a "line block" (note how whitespace is honored):
| Line one
| Line too
| Line tree
and images can be specified like so:
Inline math equation: $\omega = d\phi / dt$. Display
math should get its own line like so:
$$I = \int \rho R^{2} dV$$
And note that you can backslash-escape any punctuation characters
which you wish to be displayed literally, ex.: \`foo\`, *bar*, etc.
