An h2 header

+ +

Paragraphs are separated by a blank line.

+ +

2nd paragraph. Italic, bold, and monospace. Itemized lists +look like:

+ +

this one
that one
the other one

+ +

Note that — not considering the asterisk — the actual text +content starts at 4-columns in.

+ +

+
Block quotes are +written like so.
+ +
They can span multiple paragraphs, +if you like.
+

+ +

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. ☺

+ +

An h3 header

+ +

Here’s a numbered list:

+ +

first item
second item
third item

+ +

Note again how the actual text starts at 4 columns in (4 characters +from the left side). Here’s a code sample:

+ +

# Let me re-iterate ...
+for i in 1 .. 10 { do-something(i) }
+

+ +

As you probably guessed, indented 4 spaces. By the way, instead of +indenting the block, you can use delimited blocks, if you like:

+ +

define foobar() {
+    print "Welcome to flavor country!";
+}
+

+ +

(which makes copying & pasting easier). You can optionally mark the +delimited block for Pandoc to syntax highlight it:

+ +

import time
+# Quick, count to ten!
+for i in range(10):
+    # (but not *too* quick)
+    time.sleep(0.5)
+    print i
+

+ +

An h4 header

+ +

Now a nested list:

+ +

+
First, get these ingredients:
+ +
- carrots
- celery
- lentils
+
+
Boil some water.
+

Dump everything in the pot and follow +this algorithm:

+ +

find wooden spoon
+uncover pot
+stir
+cover pot
+balance wooden spoon precariously on pot handle
+wait 10 minutes
+goto first step (or shut off burner when done)
+

+ +

Do not bump wooden spoon or it will fall.

+ +

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.

+ +

Tables can look like this:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

size	material	color
9	leather	brown
10	hemp	natural
11	glass	transparent

+ +

Table: Shoes, their sizes, and what they’re made of.

+ +

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/definition pair to spread things out more.)

+ +

Here’s a “line block”:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Line one

Line too

Line tree

+ +

and images can be specified like so:

+ +

And note that you can backslash-escape any punctuation characters +which you wish to be displayed literally, ex.: `foo`, *bar*, etc.

+
Footnote text goes here. ↩
