Raw Markdown
## Basic formatting
Paragraphs can be written like so. A paragraph is
the basic block of Markdown. A paragraph is what
text will turn into when there is no reason it should
become anything else.
Paragraphs must be separated by a blank line. Basic
formatting of *italics* and **bold** is supported.
This *can be **nested** like* so.
## Lists
### Ordered list
1. Item 1
2. A second item
3. Number 3
4. Ⅳ
*Note: the fourth item uses the Unicode character
for Roman numeral four.*
### Unordered list
* An item
* Another item
* Yet another item
* And there's more...
## Paragraph modifiers
### Code block
```
Code blocks are very useful for developers and other
people who look at code or other things that are written
in plain text. As you can see, it uses a fixed-width font.
```
You can also make `inline code` to add code into other things.
### Quote
> Here is a quote. What this is should be self explanatory.
> Quotes are automatically indented when they are used.
## Headings
There are six levels of headings. They correspond with the six
levels of HTML headings. You've probably noticed them already
in the page. Each level down uses one more hash character.
### Headings *can* also contain **formatting**
### They can even contain `inline code`
Of course, demonstrating what headings look like messes up
the structure of the page.
I don't recommend using more than three or four levels of headings
here, because, when your smallest heading isn't too small, and
your largest heading isn't too big, and you want each size up to
look noticeably larger and more important, there there are only
so many sizes that you can use.
## URLs
URLs can be made in a handful of ways:
* A named link to [MarkItDown][3].
(That's where this example comes from)
* Another named link to
[Strapdown](http://ndossougbe.github.io/strapdown/)
* Sometimes you just want a URL like
<http://www.strapdownjs.com/>.
* This is an url to the first title of this page

## Horizontal rule
A horizontal rule is a line that goes across the
middle of the page.

It's sometimes handy for breaking things up.
## Images
Markdown can also contain images. I'll need to add
something here sometime.
## Finally
There's actually a lot more to Markdown than this. See the official
[introduction][4] and [syntax][5] for more information. However, be
aware that this is not using the official implementation, and this
might work subtly differently in some of the little things.
For example, tables:
| First Header | Second Header |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
| Content Cell | Content Cell |
See the description for [Github Flavored Markdown][6]
