This page is a demo of markdown rendering.

It’s very easy to make some words bold and other words italic with Markdown. You can even link to Google!.

Sometimes you want numbered lists:

1. One
2. Two
3. Three

Sometimes you want bullet points:

• Start a line with a star
• Profit!

Alternatively,

• Dashes work just as well
• And if you have sub points, put two spaces before the dash or star:
  • Like this
  • And this

If you want to embed images, this is how you do it:

Sometimes it’s useful to have different levels of headings to structure your documents. Start lines with a # to create headings. Multiple ## in a row denote smaller heading sizes.

The largest heading (an <h1> tag)

The second largest heading (an <h2> tag)

The third largest heading (an <h3> tag)

The fourth largest heading (an <h4> tag)

The fifth largest heading (an <h5> tag)

The sixth largest heading (an <h6> tag)

If you’d like to quote someone, use the > character before the line:

“Take care, your worship, those things over there are not giants but windmills.”
- Miguel de Cervantes

To use syntax highlighting, use fenced codeblocks and include the language:

A few lines of ruby:

def show
  @widget = Widget(params[:id])
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html # show.html.erb
    format.json { render json: @widget }
  end
end

and a Fibonacci function in Python:

def fib(n):
    a, b = 0, 1
    while a < n:
        print(a, end=' ')
        a, b = b, a+b
    print()

Alternately more exotic languages can be highlighted with pygment using this special liquid construction, this is some Erlang:

-module(factor).
-export([factorial/1]).

factorial(0) ->
    1;
factorial(N) ->
    N*factorial(N-1).

Here is how you can create tables (second line is used to specify text alignment):
