Example modified from here.

H1 Header

Paragraphs are separated by a blank line.

2nd paragraph. Italic, bold, and monospace. Itemized lists look like:

• this one
• that one
• the other one

Note that the actual text content starts at 4-columns in.

Block quotes are written like so.

They can span multiple paragraphs, if you like.

H2 Header

Here’s a numbered list:

1. first item
2. second item
3. third item

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 by specifying the languagae after the start of a block (e.g. ~~~python) which would look like :

import time
# Quick, count to ten!
for i in range(10):
    # (but not *too* quick)
    time.sleep(0.5)
    print(i)

An H3 header

Now a nested list:

1. First, get these ingredients:

   • carrots
   • celery
   • lentils

2. Boil some water.

3. Dump everything in the pot and follow this algorithm:

   find wooden spoon
   uncover pot
   stir
   cover pot
   balance wooden spoon precariously on pot handle
   wait 10 minutes
   goto first step (or shut off burner when done)
   

   Do not bump wooden spoon or it will fall.

Notice again how text always lines up on 4-space indents (including that last line which continues item 3 above).

Here’s a footnote ¹.

Tables can look like this:

Header 1	Header 2	Header 3
data1a	Data is longer than header	1
d1b	add a cell
lorem	ipsum	3
	empty outside cells
skip		5
six	Morbi purus	6

A horizontal rule follows.

Here’s a definition list:

apples

Good for making applesauce.

oranges

Citrus!

tomatoes

There’s no “e” in tomatoe.

Again, text is indented 4 spaces. (Put a blank line between each term and its definition to spread things out more.)

Here’s a “line block” (note how whitespace is honored):

Line one

Line too

Line tree

and images can be specified like so:

Inline math equation: $\omega = d\phi / dt$. Display math should get its own line like so:

\[I = \int \rho R^{2} dV\]
