To specify a paragraph, leave 2 spaces at the end of the line

Headings

# Sample H1
## Sample H2
### Sample H3
#### Sample H4
##### Sample H5
###### Sample H6

will produce

Horizontal Rules

Horizontal rule is created using --- on a line by itself.

Coding - Block

```ruby
# The Greeter class
class Greeter
  def initialize(name)
    @name = name.capitalize
  end

  def salute
    puts "Hello #{@name}!"
  end
end

# Create a new object
g = Greeter.new("world")

# Output "Hello World!"
g.salute
```

will produce

# The Greeter class
class Greeter
  def initialize(name)
    @name = name.capitalize
  end

  def salute
    puts "Hello #{@name}!"
  end
end

# Create a new object
g = Greeter.new("world")

# Output "Hello World!"
g.salute

Note: You can specify the different syntax highlighting based on the coding language eg. ruby, sh (for shell), php, etc
Note: You must leave a blank line before the \```

Coding - In-line

You can produce inline-code by using only one ` to enclose the code:

This is some code: `echo something`

will produce

This is some code: echo something

Text Formatting

Bold Text is done using **Bold Text**
Italic Text is done using *Italic Text*

---

Hyperlinks

• GFMD will automatically detect URL and convert them to links like this http://www.futureworkz.com
• To specify a link on a text, do this:

This is [an example](http://example.com/ "Title") inline link.
[This link](http://example.net/) has no title attribute.

---

Escape sequence

You can escape using \ eg. \`

`hello world!`

---

Creating list

Adding a - will change it into a list:

- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3

will produce

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3

---

Quoting

  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>1</td><td>Tom Preston-Werner</td><td>Awesome</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>2</td><td>Albert Einstein</td><td>Nearly as awesome</td>
  </tr>
</table>
