Gedit Markdown



The text/markdown registration specifies the charset parameter as “Required.” Therefore using a content-type of text/markdown is technically invalid, and the character set of such content may legitimately be interpreted as any of undefined, invalid, US-ASCII, ISO-8859. .gedit-markdown. is a simple gedit plugin written in python.

Markdown is a lightweight markup language, originally created byJohn Gruber, which aims for maximum readability and“publishability” of both its input and output forms, taking many cuesfrom existing conventions for marking up plain text in email.Markdown converts its marked-up text input to valid, well-formed XHTMLand replaces left-pointing angle brackets (<) and ampersands withtheir corresponding character entity references. Markdown wasoriginally implemented in Perl by Gruber, but has since beenre-implemented by others in a variety of programming languages (seebelow for list). It is distributed under a BSD-style license and isincluded with, or available as a plugin for, several contentmanagement systems.

Syntax examples

This is not an exhaustive listing of Markdown’s syntax, and in manycases multiple styles of syntax are available to accomplish aparticular effect. See thefull Markdown syntaxfor more information. Characters which are ordinarilyinterpreted by Markdown as formatting commands will instead beinterpreted literally if preceded by a backslash; for example, thesequence * would output an asterisk rather than beginning a span ofemphasized text. Markdown also does not transform any text within a“raw” block-level XHTML element; thus it is possible to includesections of XHTML within a Markdown source document by wrapping themin block-level XHTML tags.

Paragraphs:

A paragraph is one or more consecutive lines of text separated by oneor more blank lines. Normal paragraphs should not be indented withspaces or tabs:

Emphasized text:

Code:

Lists:

Headings:

HTML headings are produced by placing a number of hashes before theheader text corresponding to the level of heading desired (HTML offerssix levels of headings), like so:

The first two heading levels also have an alternate syntax:

Blockquotes:

Links:

Images:

Horizontal rules are created by placing three or more hyphens,asterisks, or underscores on a line by themselves. You may use spacesbetween the hyphens or asterisks. Each of the following lines willproduce a horizontal rule:

Discussion

A large number of links were recently removed from the MarkdownWikipedia page, citing the link farm policy. Furthermore, sinceinfogami is defunct, the previous semi-official Markdown wikihosted there cannot be edited by those without a previouslycreated account. I merged the content of the Wikipedia andinfogami pages and created this page in order to provide apublicly-editable repository of Markdown-relatedlinks. —Jason Blevins, April 19, 2009 19:19 EDT
