Emoji

You can type any emoji like this 😄 😃 😢 😉

See full emoji list here

Todo List

• Todos
  • Buy some salad
  • Brush teeth
  • Drink some water

Code block

We support many code languages, use the auto complete to see the list.

var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
function $initHighlight(block, cls) {
  try {
    if (cls.search(/\bno\-highlight\b/) != -1)
      return process(block, true, 0x0F) + 
             ' class=""';
  } catch (e) {
    /* handle exception */
  }
  for (var i = 0 / 2; i < classes.length; i++) {
    if (checkCondition(classes[i]) === undefined)
      return /\d+[\s/]/g;
  }
}

If you want line numbers, type = after specify the code block languagues. Also, you can specify the start line number. Like below, the line number starts from 101:

var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
function $initHighlight(block, cls) {
  try {
    if (cls.search(/\bno\-highlight\b/) != -1)
      return process(block, true, 0x0F) + 
             ' class=""';
  } catch (e) {
    /* handle exception */
  }
  for (var i = 0 / 2; i < classes.length; i++) {
    if (checkCondition(classes[i]) === undefined)
      return /\d+[\s/]/g;
  }
}

Or you might want to continue the previous code block line number, use =+

var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);

Blockquotes tags

Using like below to specifiy your name, time and color to differ the blockquotes. [name=ChengHan Wu] [time=Sun, Jun 28, 2015 9:59 PM] [color=#907bf7]

Even support the nest blockquotes! [name=ChengHan Wu] [time=Sun, Jun 28, 2015 10:00 PM] [color=red]

MathJax

You can render LaTeX mathematical expressions using MathJax, as on math.stackexchange.com:

The Gamma function satisfying \Gamma(n) = (n-1)!\quad\forall n\in\mathbb N is via the Euler integral

x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.

\Gamma(z) = \int_0^\infty t^{z-1}e^{-t}dt,.

More information about LaTeX mathematical expressions here.

UML diagrams

Sequence diagrams

You can render sequence diagrams like this:

Alice->Bob: Hello Bob, how are you?
Note right of Bob: Bob thinks
Bob-->Alice: I am good thanks!
Note left of Alice: Alice responds
Alice->Bob: Where have you been?

Flow charts

And flow charts like this:

st=>start: Start
e=>end: End
op=>operation: My Operation
op2=>operation: lalala
cond=>condition: Yes or No?

st->op->op2->cond
cond(yes)->e
cond(no)->op2

Graphviz

digraph hierarchy {

                nodesep=1.0 // increases the separation between nodes
                
                node [color=Red,fontname=Courier,shape=box] //All nodes will this shape and colour
                edge [color=Blue, style=dashed] //All the lines look like this

                Headteacher->{Deputy1 Deputy2 BusinessManager}
                Deputy1->{Teacher1 Teacher2}
                BusinessManager->ITManager
                {rank=same;ITManager Teacher1 Teacher2}  // Put them on the same level
}

Blockquotes

Blockquotes can also be nested...

...by using additional greater-than signs right next to each other...

...or with spaces between arrows.

Lists

Unordered

• Create a list by starting a line with +, -, or *
• Sub-lists are made by indenting 2 spaces:
  • Marker character change forces new list start:
    • Ac tristique libero volutpat at
    • Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
    • Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
• Very easy!

Ordered

1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

2. Consectetur adipiscing elit

3. Integer molestie lorem at massa

4. You can use sequential numbers...

5. ...or keep all the numbers as 1.

6. feafw

7. 332

8. 242

9. 2552

10. e2

Start numbering with offset:

57. foo
58. bar

Code

Inline code

Indented code

// Some comments
line 1 of code
line 2 of code
line 3 of code

Block code "fences"

var foo = function (bar) {
  return bar++;
};

console.log(foo(5));
