這頁提供了Markdown簡單的概觀給想使用的人,語法說明頁提供了完整詳細的文件,說明每項功能,但是Markdown其實很簡單就可以上手,這頁文件提供了一些範例,並且每個範例都有提供輸出的HTML結果。
其實直接試試看也是一個很不錯的方法, Dingus是一個網頁應用程式,讓你可以把你的Markdown文件轉成XHTML。
**提示:**這份文件本身也是用Markdown寫的,你也可以看看它的原始碼
一個段落是由一個以上的連接的行句組成,而一個以上的空行則會切分出不同的段落(空行的定義是顯示上看起來像是空行,就被視為空行,例如有一行只有空白和tab,那該行也會被視為空行),一般的段落不需要用空白或斷行縮排。
Markdown支援兩種標題的語法,[Setext][1]和[atx][2]形式。Setext形式是用底線的形式,利用=
(最高階標題)和-
(第二階標題),Atx形式在行首插入1到6個#
,對應到標題1到6階。
區塊引言則使用email形式的'>
'角括號。
Markdown:
A First Level Header
====================
A Second Level Header
---------------------
Now is the time for all good men to come to
the aid of their country. This is just a
regular paragraph.
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
dog's back.
### Header 3
> This is a blockquote.
>
> This is the second paragraph in the blockquote.
>
> ## This is an H2 in a blockquote
輸出:
<h1>A First Level Header</h1>
<h2>A Second Level Header</h2>
<p>Now is the time for all good men to come to
the aid of their country. This is just a
regular paragraph.</p>
<p>The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
dog's back.</p>
<h3>Header 3</h3>
<blockquote>
<p>This is a blockquote.</p>
<p>This is the second paragraph in the blockquote.</p>
<h2>This is an H2 in a blockquote</h2>
</blockquote>
Markdown使用星號和底線來標記需要強調的區段。
Markdown:
Some of these words *are emphasized*.
Some of these words _are emphasized also_.
Use two asterisks for **strong emphasis**.
Or, if you prefer, __use two underscores instead__.
輸出:
<p>Some of these words <em>are emphasized</em>.
Some of these words <em>are emphasized also</em>.</p>
<p>Use two asterisks for <strong>strong emphasis</strong>.
Or, if you prefer, <strong>use two underscores instead</strong>.</p>
無序清單使用星號、加號和減號來做為清單的項目標記,這些符號是都可以使用的,使用星號:
* Candy.
* Gum.
* Booze.
加號:
+ Candy.
+ Gum.
+ Booze.
和減號
- Candy.
- Gum.
- Booze.
都會輸出:
<ul>
<li>Candy.</li>
<li>Gum.</li>
<li>Booze.</li>
</ul>
有序的清單則是使用一般的數字接著一個西文句點作為項目標記:
1. Red
2. Green
3. Blue
輸出:
<ol>
<li>Red</li>
<li>Green</li>
<li>Blue</li>
</ol>
如果你在項目之間插入空行,那項目的內容會備用<p>
包起來,你也可以在一個項目內放上多個段落,只要在它前面縮排4個空白或1個 tab 。
* A list item.
With multiple paragraphs.
* Another item in the list.
輸出:
<ul>
<li><p>A list item.</p>
<p>With multiple paragraphs.</p></li>
<li><p>Another item in the list.</p></li>
</ul>
Markdown支援兩種形式的連結語法:行內和參考兩種形式,兩種都是使用角括號來把文字轉成連結。
行內形式形式是直接在後面用括號直接接上連結:
This is an [example link](http://example.com/).
輸出:
<p>This is an <a href="http://example.com/">
example link</a>.</p>
你也可以選擇性的加上title屬性:
This is an [example link](http://example.com/ "With a Title").
輸出:
<p>This is an <a href="http://example.com/" title="With a Title">
example link</a>.</p>
參考形式的連結讓你可以為連結定一個名稱,之後你可以在文件的其他地方定義該連結的內容:
I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][1] than from
[Yahoo][2] or [MSN][3].
[1]: http://google.com/ "Google"
[2]: http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search"
[3]: http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search"
輸出:
<p>I get 10 times more traffic from <a href="http://google.com/"
title="Google">Google</a> than from <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/"
title="Yahoo Search">Yahoo</a> or <a href="http://search.msn.com/"
title="MSN Search">MSN</a>.</p>
title屬性是選擇性的,連結名稱可以用字母、數字和空格,但是不分大小寫:
I start my morning with a cup of coffee and
[The New York Times][NY Times].
[ny times]: http://www.nytimes.com/
輸出:
<p>I start my morning with a cup of coffee and
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/">The New York Times</a>.</p>
圖片的語法和連結很像。
行內形式(title是選擇性的):
![alt text](/path/to/img.jpg "Title")
參考形式:
![alt text][id]
[id]: /path/to/img.jpg "Title"
上面兩種方法都會輸出:
<img src="/path/to/img.jpg" alt="alt text" title="Title" />
在一般的段落文字中,你可以使用反引號`
來標記程式碼區段,區段內的 &
、<
和 >
都會被自動地轉換成HTML實體,這項特性讓你可以很容易的在程式碼區段內插入HTML碼:
I strongly recommend against using any `<blink>` tags.
I wish SmartyPants used named entities like `—`
instead of decimal-encoded entites like `—`.
輸出:
<p>I strongly recommend against using any
<code><blink></code> tags.</p>
<p>I wish SmartyPants used named entities like
<code>&mdash;</code> instead of decimal-encoded
entites like <code>&#8212;</code>.</p>
如果要建立一個已經格式化好的程式碼區塊,只要每行都縮排4個空格或是一個tab就可以了,而&
、<
和 >
也一樣會自動轉成HTML實體。
Markdown:
If you want your page to validate under XHTML 1.0 Strict,
you've got to put paragraph tags in your blockquotes:
<blockquote>
<p>For example.</p>
</blockquote>
輸出:
<p>If you want your page to validate under XHTML 1.0 Strict,
you've got to put paragraph tags in your blockquotes:</p>
<pre><code><blockquote>
<p>For example.</p>
</blockquote>
</code></pre>
