Extra Syntax
Footnotes
Footnotes work mostly like reference-style links. A footnote is made of two things: a marker in the text that will become a superscript number; a footnote definition that will be placed in a list of footnotes at the end of the document. A footnote looks like this:
That's some text with a footnote.[1]
Strikethrough
Wrap with 2 tilde characters:
Strikethrough
Fenced Code Blocks
Start with a line containing 3 or more backticks, and ends with the first line with the same number of backticks:
Fenced code blocks are like Stardard Markdown’s regular code
blocks, except that they’re not indented and instead rely on
a start and end fence lines to delimit the code block.
Tables
A simple table looks like this:
| First Header | Second Header | Third Header |
|---|---|---|
| Content Cell | Content Cell | Content Cell |
| Content Cell | Content Cell | Content Cell |
If you wish, you can add a leading and tailing pipe to each line of the table:
| First Header | Second Header | Third Header |
|---|---|---|
| Content Cell | Content Cell | Content Cell |
| Content Cell | Content Cell | Content Cell |
Specify alignment for each column by adding colons to separator lines:
| First Header | Second Header | Third Header |
|---|---|---|
| Left | Center | Right |
| Left | Center | Right |
