Math

Formulas can be placed inline like $E=mc^2$ or in a separate paragraph, like the following one. Standard LaTeX syntax is supported.

$$\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} = \binom{n}{k}$$

Code

Inline code gets monospaced font.

def print_hi(name)
  puts "Hi, #{name}"
end
print_hi('Tom')
#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.

Press “Enter” key inside code block to insert a line break or “Shift+Enter” to end code block.

Footnotes

Notes can be placed anywhere¹ in the source file. When document is published to a paper-oriented format (PDF or Word) footnotes are displayed at the bottom of the page. E-book readers usually display notes in popups.

Lists

• First bulleted item.

• Second bulleted item.

Lists can be styled via menu, keyboard shortcut, or using autoformatting: type minus and space for bulleted item or “1”, point and space for numbered item. Press “Tab” to indent paragraph and create subitem, “Shift+Tab” to unindent.

1. First numbered item.

2. Second numbered item.
