The accepted answer here isn't working with any Markdown editor available in the apps I have used till date like Ghost, Stackedit.io or even in the StackOverflow editor. I found a workaround here in the StackEdit.io issue tracker. The solution is to directly use HTML syntax, and it works perfectly:
Markdown's syntax is intended for one purpose: to be used as a format for writing for the web. Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of HTML tags. The idea is not to create a syntax that makes it easier to insert HTML tags. In my opinion, HTML tags are ...
For an empty line in Markdown, escape a space (\), and then add a new line. Example: "\ " Remember: escape a space and escape a new line. That way is Markdown compliant and should compile properly in any compiler. You may have to select the example text to see how it is set up.
Use non-breaking spaces. In Markdown, as any markup languages, the tab space collapses to a single space. Also, several consecutive horizontal whitespace (e.g. spaces, tabs) collapse to a single space or they are removed from the beginning of a paragraph.
To add an image in markdown file the .md file and the image should be in the same directory. As in my case my .md file was in doc folder so i also moved the image into the same folder. After that write the following syntax in .md file![alt text](filename) like ![Car Image](car.png) This has worked for me.
@Shredder2794: That's not how markdown is supposed to work. If you find yourself frequently having to write html code inside of markdown, you're probably not using it for the purpose it was meant to be used for. There are edge cases which require html tags and code other than markdown, but again those are edge cases. –
Markdown is smart enough not to mangle your span-level HTML: <b> Markdown works * fine * in here. </b> Block-level HTML elements have a few restrictions: They must be separated from surrounding text by blank lines. The begin and end tags of the outermost block element must not be indented. Markdown can't be used within HTML blocks.
All above indented lists would successfully link to the following headers in GitHub markdown (headers fail to link in SO-flavored markdown for some reason) - # 1. Installation ## 1.1.
As mentioned in other responses two spaces and enter will create a carriage return in markdown. The problem is your editor may trim that trailing whitespace. OP didn't mention a specific editor. In the case of VS Code you can suppress trimming on a per syntax basis in the settings.json file:
kramdown—the Ruby-based markdown engine that is the default for Jekyll and thus GitHub Pages—has built-in comment support through its extension syntax: {::comment} This text is completely ignored by kramdown - a comment in the text. {:/comment} Do you see {::comment}this text{:/comment}? {::comment}some other comment{:/}
