Markdown/Commonmarker examples

This card shows you how to format a card's content using Markdown Show archive.org snapshot . We use the Commonmarker Show archive.org snapshot interpreter, so here are examples for its dialect.

Headlines

Underline headlines with an equals sign or dash -- or start a line with a hash symbol:

CopyHello World
-----------
Lorem ipsum...

Hello Universe
==============
Lorem ipsum...

# Hello Alice
Lorem ipsum...

Hello World

Lorem ipsum...

Hello Universe

Lorem ipsum...

Hello Alice

Lorem ipsum...

Horizontal rules

Just draw a line with dashes. Make sure to have a blank line above it so it's not interpreted as a headline.

CopyHere is some text.

------------------------

Text below the horizontal rule.

Here is some text.

Text below the horizontal rule.

Code

Indent text by 4 spaces. This way it is recognized as code.

Copy    def foo
      "hello!"
    end

Copydef foo
  "hello!"
end

You can also create code blocks GitHub-style:

Copy```
def foo
  "hello!"
end
```

Copydef foo
  "hello!"
end

Lists

Copy* Bullet list item 1
* Bullet list item 2

• Bullet list item 1
• Bullet list item 2

You can also use + or - instead of *.

Copy1. Numbered list item
2. Numbered list item
42. You don't need to number properly

1. Numbered list item
2. Numbered list item
3. You don't need to number properly

(Mind 42 not being used; counting happens automatically)

Combining

You can of course combine this. It becomes a bit tricky when you're using lists, but it's not that hard. Just make sure you indent properly (2 spaces for bullet/definition lists, 3 spaces for numbered lists [since you have number + dot + space]).

Copy* This is a list
  * Sub item 1
  * Sub item 2

* Next list item. We can also nest code:

      def foo
        "hello!"
      end

  ... and continue writing. This still is part of the list item.

• This is a list

  • Sub item 1
  • Sub item 2

• Next list item. We can also nest code:

  Copydef foo
    "hello!"
  end
  

  ... and continue writing. This still is part of the list item.
