The idea for Markdown is to make it easy to read, write, and edit prose. HTML is a.publishing. format; Markdown is a.writing. format. Thus, Markdown's formatting syntax only addresses issues that can be conveyed in plain text. For any markup that is not covered by Markdown's syntax, you simply use HTML itself.

Typography Elements in One

Let’s start with a informative paragraph. This text is bolded. But not this one! How about italic text? Cool right? Ok, let’s combine them together. Yeah, that’s right! I have code to highlight, so ThisIsMyCode(). What a nice! Good people will hyperlink away, so here we go or http://www.example.com.

LateX:

This is an online latex: ( pi = 4 sum_{i=0}^{infty} frac{(-1)^{i}}{2i+1} ;;; & ;;; G_{munu} = 8pi T_{munu} )

This is an equation:

Blockquote

Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. –Francis of Assisi

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; formatting words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like # or *.

You can use Markdown most places around GitHub:

  • Comments in Issues and Pull Requests
  • Files with the .md or .markdown extension

For more information, see “Writing on GitHub” in the GitHub Help.

Examples

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

Syntax guide

Here’s an overview of Markdown syntax that you can use anywhere on GitHub.com or in your own text files.

GitHub Flavored Markdown

GitHub.com uses its own version of the Markdown syntax that provides an additional set of useful features, many of which make it easier to work with content on GitHub.com.

Note that some features of GitHub Flavored Markdown are only available in the descriptions and comments of Issues and Pull Requests. These include @mentions as well as references to SHA-1 hashes, Issues, and Pull Requests. Task Lists are also available in Gist comments and in Gist Markdown files.

Syntax highlighting

Here’s an example of how you can use syntax highlighting with GitHub Flavored Markdown:

You can also simply indent your code by four spaces:

Here’s an example of Python code without syntax highlighting:

Task Lists

If you include a task list in the first comment of an Issue, you will get a handy progress indicator in your issue list. It also works in Pull Requests!

Tables

You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens - (for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe |:

Would become:

First HeaderSecond Header
Content from cell 1Content from cell 2
Content in the first columnContent in the second column

SHA references

Any reference to a commit’s SHA-1 hash will be automatically converted into a link to that commit on GitHub.

Issue references within a repository

Any number that refers to an Issue or Pull Request will be automatically converted into a link.

Username @mentions

Typing an @ symbol, followed by a username, will notify that person to come and view the comment. This is called an “@mention”, because you’re mentioning the individual. You can also @mention teams within an organization.

Automatic linking for URLs

Strikethrough

Any word wrapped with two tildes (like ~~this~~) will appear crossed out.
