H1

H3

H5

H6

Alternatively, for H1 and H2, an underline-ish style:

Alt-H1

Alt-H2

#Emphasis

Emphasis, aka italics, with asterisks or underscores.

Strong emphasis, aka bold, with asterisks or underscores.

Combined emphasis with asterisks and underscores.

Strikethrough uses two tildes. Scratch this.

#Lists

1. First ordered list item
2. Another item ⋅⋅* Unordered sub-list.
3. Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number ⋅⋅1. Ordered sub-list
4. And another item.

⋅⋅⋅You can have properly indented paragraphs within list items. Notice the blank line above, and the leading spaces (at least one, but we'll use three here to also align the raw Markdown).

⋅⋅⋅To have a line break without a paragraph, you will need to use two trailing spaces.⋅⋅ ⋅⋅⋅Note that this line is separate, but within the same paragraph.⋅⋅ ⋅⋅⋅(This is contrary to the typical GFM line break behaviour, where trailing spaces are not required.)

• Unordered list can use asterisks

• Or minuses

• Or pluses

#Links

I'm an inline-style link

I'm an inline-style link with title

I'm a reference-style link

I'm a relative reference to a repository file

You can use numbers for reference-style link definitions

Or leave it empty and use the link text itself.

URLs and URLs in angle brackets will automatically get turned into links. http://www.example.com or http://www.example.com and sometimes example.com (but not on Github, for example).

Some text to show that the reference links can follow later.

#Footnotes

Here is a simple footnote¹.

A footnote can also have multiple lines².

You can also use words, to fit your writing style more closely³.

#Tables

Colons can be used to align columns.

Tables	Are	Cool
col 3 is	right-aligned	$1600
col 2 is	centered	$12
zebra stripes	are neat	$1

There must be at least 3 dashes separating each header cell. The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.

Markdown	Less	Pretty
Still	renders	nicely
1	2	3

###The End!

Footnotes

1. My reference. ↩

2. Every new line should be prefixed with 2 spaces.
   This allows you to have a footnote with multiple lines. ↩

3. Named footnotes will still render with numbers instead of the text but allow easier identification and linking.
   This footnote also has been made with a different syntax using 4 spaces for new lines. ↩
