    Header 1

    Header 2

    Header 3 ### (Hashes on right are optional)

    Header 4

    Header 5

    Markdown plus h2 with a custom ID

    Link back to H2

    This is a paragraph, which is text surrounded by whitespace. Paragraphs can be on one line (or many), and can drone on for hours.

    Here is a Markdown link to Warped, and a literal . Now some SimpleLinks, like one to [google] (automagically links to are-you- feeling-lucky), a [wiki: test] link to a Wikipedia page, and a link to [foldoc: CPU]s at foldoc.

    Now some inline markup like italics, bold, and code(). Note that underscores in words are ignored in Markdown Extra.

    Blockquotes are like quoted text in email replies

    And, they can be nested

    • Bullet lists are easy too
    • Another one
    • Another one
    1. A numbered list
    2. Which is numbered
    3. With periods and a space

    And now some code:

    // Code is just text indented a bit
    which(is_easy) to_remember();
    

    // Markdown extra adds un-indented code blocks too if (this_is_more_code == true && !indented) { // tild wrapped code blocks, also not indented }

    Text with
    two trailing spaces
    (on the right)
    can be used
    for things like poems

    Horizontal rules


    ****

    This is a div wrapping some Markdown plus. Without the DIV attribute, it ignores the block.

    Markdown plus tables

    Header Header Right
    Cell Cell $10
    Cell Cell $20
    • Outer pipes on tables are optional
    • Colon used for alignment (right versus left)

    Markdown plus definition lists

    Bottled water
    $ 1.25
    $ 1.55 (Large)
    Milk
    Pop
    $ 1.75
    • Multiple definitions and terms are possible
    • Definitions can include multiple paragraphs too

    The markdown syntax:

    # Header 1 #
    ## Header 2 ##
    ### Header 3 ###             (Hashes on right are optional)
    #### Header 4 ####
    ##### Header 5 #####
    
    ## Markdown plus h2 with a custom ID ##         {#id-goes-here}
    [Link back to H2](#id-goes-here)
    
    This is a paragraph, which is text surrounded by whitespace. Paragraphs can be on one 
    line (or many), and can drone on for hours.

    feeling-lucky), a [wiki: test] link to a Wikipedia page, and a link to 
    [foldoc: CPU]s at foldoc.  
    
    Now some inline markup like _italics_,  **bold**, and `code()`. Note that underscores in 
    words are ignored in Markdown Extra.
