Paragraphs are separated by a blank line.
2nd paragraph. Italic, bold, and monospace
. Itemized lists
look like:
lorem30
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. ☺
Here's a numbered list:
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
Now a nested list:
