> This is a blockquote with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,

Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.

> Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse

id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.

Blockquotes can contain other Markdown elements, including headers, lists, and code blocks:

> ## This is a header.

>

> 1. This is the first list item.

> 2. This is the second list item.

Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens — interchangably — as list markers:

* Red

* Green

* Blue

is equivalent to:

+ Red

+ Green

+ Blue

and:

- Red

- Green

- Blue

Ordered lists use numbers followed by periods:

1. Bird

2. McHale

3. Parish

If you instead wrote the list in Markdown like this:

1. Bird

1. McHale

1. Parish

or even:

3. Bird

1. McHale

8. Parish

List items may consist of multiple paragraphs. Each subsequent paragraph in a list item must be indented by either 4 spaces or one tab:

1. This is a list item with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor

sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit

mi posuere lectus.

Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet

vitae, risus. Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum

sit amet velit.

2. Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.

It looks nice if you indent every line of the subsequent paragraphs, but here again, Markdown will allow you to be lazy:

* This is a list item with two paragraphs.

This is the second paragraph in the list item. You're

only required to indent the first line. Lorem ipsum dolor

sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

* Another item in the same list.

To put a blockquote within a list item, the blockquote’s > delimiters need to be indented:

* A list item with a blockquote:

> This is a blockquote

> inside a list item.

HORIZONTAL RULES

You can produce a horizontal rule tag (

---

) by placing three or more hyphens, asterisks, or underscores on a line by themselves. If you wish, you may use spaces between the hyphens or asterisks. Each of the following lines will produce a horizontal rule:

* * *

This is [an example](http://example.com/ "Title") inline link.

[This link](http://example.net/) has no title attribute.

Reference-style links use a second set of square brackets, inside which you place a label of your choosing to identify the link:

This is [an example][id] reference-style link.

You can optionally use a space to separate the sets of brackets:

This is [an example] [id] reference-style link.

Then, anywhere in the document, you define your link label like this, on a line by itself:

[id]: http://example.com/ "Optional Title Here"

The implicit link name shortcut allows you to omit the name of the link, in which case the link text itself is used as the name. Just use an empty set of square brackets — e.g., to link the word “Google” to the google.com web site, you could simply write:

[Google][]

And then define the link:

[Google]: http://google.com/

*single asterisks*

_single underscores_

**double asterisks**

__double underscores__

\*this text is surrounded by literal asterisks\*

Inline image syntax looks like this:



![Alt text][MHA-Contact]

[MHA-Contact]:

[id]: /path/to/img.jpg "Optional title attribute"

Markdown has no syntax for specifying the dimensions of an image; if this is important to you, you can simply use regular HTML tags.

" alt="tree" width="100">

" alt="tree" width="100">

" alt="tree" width="100">

" alt="tree" width="100">

" alt="tree" width="100">

" alt="tree" width="100">

" alt="tree" width="100">

" alt="tree" width="100">

This is a good way to quickly produce a photo album of images

Automatic Link

<http://example.com/>

Using markdown, you can cross out text (strikethrough text) by putting two tildes (~) before and after the words you want to cross out. Like this -

~~Twenty~~ Four Score and ~~Seventy~~ Seven Years Ago

What about Footnotes as part of the extended Syntax?

Here's a simple footnote,[^1] and here's a longer one.[^bignote]

[^1]: This is the first footnote.

[^bignote]: Here's one with multiple paragraphs and code.

To add a table, use three or more hyphens (---) to create each column’s header, and use pipes (|) to separate each column. For compatibility, you should also add a pipe on either end of the row.

| Syntax | Description |

| ----------- | ----------- |

| Header | Title |

| Paragraph | Text |

The rendered output looks like an HTML Table if it works
