Content, and content marketing, is critical today. Sometimes, though, the systems to create content get in the way, overwhelming users and offering too many options.
Headings from h1 through h6 are constructed with a # for each level:
# h1 Heading
## h2 Heading
### h3 Heading
#### h4 Heading
##### h5 Heading
###### h6 Heading
The HTML <hr> element is for creating a “thematic break” between paragraph-level elements. In markdown, you can create a <hr> with any of the following:
___: three consecutive underscores---: three consecutive dashes***: three consecutive asterisksFor emphasizing a snippet of text with a heavier font-weight.
rendered as bold text
**rendered as bold text**
For emphasizing a snippet of text with italics.
rendered as italicized text
_rendered as italicized text_
Strike through this text.
~~Strike through this text.~~
For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document.
Quote text
`Quote text`
A list of items in which the order of the items does not explicitly matter.
You may use any of the following symbols to denote bullets for each list item:
* Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
* Consectetur adipiscing elit
* Integer molestie lorem at massa
* Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
* Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
- Phasellus iaculis neque
- Purus sodales ultricies
- Vestibulum laoreet porttitor sem
- Ac tristique libero volutpat at
+ Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel
+ Aenean sit amet erat nunc
+ Eget porttitor lorem
1. Start with a number
1. Consectetur adipiscing elit
1. Integer molestie lorem at massa
1. Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
1. Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
1. Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel
1. Aenean sit amet erat nunc
2. Eget porttitor lorem
Look at this ```Inline code here...``` :)
Or indent several lines of code by at least four spaces, as in:
// Some comments
line 1 of code
line 2 of code
line 3 of code
Use “fences” ``` to block in multiple lines of code.
```
Sample text here...
```
Add the file extension of the language you want to use directly after the first code “fence” and syntax highlighting will automatically be applied in the rendered HTML. For example, to apply syntax highlighting to JavaScript code:
grunt.initConfig({
assemble: {
options: {
assets: 'docs/assets',
data: 'src/data/*.{json,yml}',
helpers: 'src/custom-helpers.js',
partials: ['src/partials/**/*.{hbs,md}']
},
pages: {
options: {
layout: 'default.hbs'
},
files: {
'./': ['src/templates/pages/index.hbs']
}
}
}
};
HTML blocks (e.g. div, table, pre, p) must be separated from surrounding content by blank lines and the start and end of the block should not be indented with tabs or spaces
**Bold** text
<div>
**Bold** text
</div>
**Bold** text
Tables are created by adding pipes as dividers between each cell, and by adding a line of dashes (also separated by bars) beneath the header. Note that the pipes do not need to be vertically aligned.
| Option | Description |
| ------ | ----------- |
| data | path to data files to supply the data that will be passed into templates. |
| engine | engine to be used for processing templates. Handlebars is the default. |
| ext | extension to be used for dest files. |
Adding a colon on the right side of the dashes below any heading will right align text for that column.

Images have a similar syntax to links but include a preceding exclamation point.
