Line breaks in markdown GitHub full information with photos, videos, documents and files. Documentation for GitLab Community Edition, GitLab Enterprise Edition, Omnibus GitLab, and GitLab Runner. Dear Community, I know the title of this blog sounds like “Buzzword Bingo”. But I can assure you: that’s not the case 😉 I actually wanted to take a look at Visual Studio Code (VSC).

Important: Follow the rules outlined here to ensure that Markdown displays consistently and accurately on this site, GitHub, and npmjs.com (where applicable).

Introduction

Github uses Redcarpet to parse READMEs and other markdown files. It is, generally speaking, more permissive/forgiving than Kramdown, the markdown parser Jekyll uses.

Each has some features that the other does not. This document outlines rules to avoid syntax that works on GitHub, but breaks when READMEs are pulled into this site (loopback.io) or npmjs.com.

Lists

• Indent nested lists by four spaces (refer to the original markdown blog post for guidelines on lists.)
• Fenced code blocks in list items:
  1. Align code blocks in list item with the first character of text in the first line of that list item
  2. Leave one blank line before code blocks in list items and none afterward.

Examples:

Headers

• Always put spaces after the hash(es).
• Only put one<h1> header in a readme (The Jekyll layout we use (_layouts/readme.html) removes all<h1>s and replaces it with the value of the title page property.
• Precede headers with a blank line.

Examples:

Links

Use absolute URLs in READMEs

When authoring READMEs in external repositories for use in the LoopBack documentation (see Including READMEs from other repositories),always use absolute URLs, not relative URLs.

For example:

INCORRECT:

Results in (broken link):

…create a script named automigrate.js.

CORRECT:

Results in a working link:

…create a script named automigrate.js.

Bare URL links

You can use a “bare” URL for a link instead of using the [text](url) syntax,however, with Jekyll you must wrap the URL in angle brackets for it to be madeinto a link (GitHub automatically detects URL strings and does it automatically)

For example:

Results in the following:

Opera web browser. Opera GX is a special version of the Opera browser built specifically to complement gaming. The browser includes unique features to help you get the most out of both gaming and browsing. The Network limiter allows you to set maximum limits (upload and download) on how much of your network’s. Opera gx browser is available for download and installation in three easy steps, from our file library (new release April 2021). When you gloss the letter of vision, it is highly recommended that you lay it polite. This is a higher way to browser what you are sorry to do with Wild and get the images that you need. Opera GX is a new alternative to the well-known browser. This time, it focuses on offering services and features for PC videogame players. Get a faster, better browser. Opera's free VPN, Ad Blocker, integrated messengers and private mode help you browse securely and smoothly. Share files instantly between your desktop and mobile browsers and experience web 3.0 with a free cryptowallet.

Fenced code blocks

Always precede a code block with an empty line.

Examples:

Markdown is a lightweight and easy-to-use syntax for styling all forms of writing on the GitHub platform.

What you will learn:

• How the Markdown format makes styled collaborative editing easy
• How Markdown differs from traditional formatting approaches
• How to use Markdown to format text
• How to leverage GitHub’s automatic Markdown rendering
• How to apply GitHub’s unique Markdown extensions

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; formatting words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like # or *.

You can use Markdown most places around GitHub:

• Comments in Issues and Pull Requests
• Files with the .md or .markdown extension

For more information, see “Writing on GitHub” in the GitHub Help.

GitHub Flavored Markdown

GitHub.com uses its own version of the Markdown syntax that provides an additional set of useful features, many of which make it easier to work with content on GitHub.com.

Note that some features of GitHub Flavored Markdown are only available in the descriptions and comments of Issues and Pull Requests. These include @mentions as well as references to SHA-1 hashes, Issues, and Pull Requests. Task Lists are also available in Gist comments and in Gist Markdown files.

Syntax highlighting

Here’s an example of how you can use syntax highlighting with GitHub Flavored Markdown:

You can also simply indent your code by four spaces:

Here’s an example of Python code without syntax highlighting:

Task Lists

If you include a task list in the first comment of an Issue, you will get a handy progress indicator in your issue list. It also works in Pull Requests!

Tables

You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens - (for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe |:

Would become:

SHA references

Any reference to a commit’s SHA-1 hash will be automatically converted into a link to that commit on GitHub.

Issue references within a repository

Any number that refers to an Issue or Pull Request will be automatically converted into a link.

Username @mentions

Typing an @ symbol, followed by a username, will notify that person to come and view the comment. This is called an “@mention”, because you’re mentioning the individual. You can also @mention teams within an organization.

Automatic linking for URLs

Any URL (like http://www.github.com/ Packard bell ts11hr drivers for mac. ) will be automatically converted into a clickable link.

Strikethrough

Github Markdown Reference Code

Any word wrapped with two tildes (like ~~this~~) will appear crossed out.

Emoji

GitHub supports emoji!
