How do we write in LinkFed?

LinkFed uses a lightweight markup language to add formatting to the text. It's different from programs like Word or Notes because you’ll see the results rendered on the next page, typically matching your expectations.

Why Markdown?

Because it's cool. Markdown gives you the freedom to write content as you wish, while maintaining clean formatting. But of course, as Uncle Ben says: "With great power comes great responsibility," so let’s learn how to use it properly.

Learn Markdown in Y Minutes

HTML

Markdown is a superset of HTML, HTML elements would be shown as expected:

<!--This means we can use HTML elements in Markdown, such as the comment
element, and they won't be affected by a markdown parser. However, if you
create an HTML element in your markdown file, you cannot use markdown syntax
within that element's contents.-->

Headings

To add headings you just need to write #, for example:

# h1 header
## h2 header
...
###### h6 header

Text Styles

*Italic* or _Italic_  
**Bold** or __Bold__  
***Bold+Italic*** or **_Bold+Italic_**  
~~Strikethrough~~  

Escape special characters like \*asterisks\* with backslashes.

Paragraph

Paragraphs stay together until there are one or more lines in between:

This is paragraph 1. Lines will wrap
together unless separated by a blank line.

This is paragraph 2.  
Use two spaces at line end for a manual line break.

Block Quotes

To quote you can use the > character:

> Single-line quote

> I have always imagined that Paradise
> will be a kind of library.

Lists

Unordered Lists:
- milk (soy)
- (vegan) eggs
- (vegan) bacon

Another way:
+ plus 1
+ plus 2
+ plus 3

Another way:
* asterisco
* hola
* item

Ordered lists are just the same but with numbers:

Ordered list:
1. uno
2. dos
3. ultraviolento

You can also do indented list or to do lists:

- 1
- 2
	- 1
	- 2


TODO List:
- [ ] Buy eggs
- [x] Work

Code Blocks

Use triple backticks + language (optional):

	print("Hola mundo")

Inline code can be done by using the back tick ` character print("like this").

Links

You write links like this:

[Click me!](http://test.com/)

The text is the one surrounded by the [] and it follows the link in the parenthesis ().

Images

Images are the same as links but with exclamation point:

![This is the alt-attribute for my image](http://imgur.com/myimage.jpg "An optional title")

Tables

| Col1         | Col2     | Col3          |
| :----------- | :------: | ------------: |
| Left-aligned | Centered | Right-aligned |
