Introducing markdown

Did you know that this documentation was generated using arqiva? This topic you are reading was written using markdown.

We wont be taking too much of your time. We will be showing you some markdown syntax tricks that you will need while writing your topic files.

Basic formatting

Bold

Markdown code:

    __Example bolded__

Html output:

    <b>Example bolded<b/>

Italic

Markdown code:

    *Example italized*

Html output:

    <i>Example italized<i/>

Heading

Heading levels

One # represents h1, two # represent h2, then, you can guess the rest.

Markdown code:

    # I'm a big title

Html output:

    <h1>I'm a big title</h1>

Links

Markdown code:

    [click here](http://google.co.mz)

Html output:

    <a href=http://google.co.mz"">click here</a>

Images

Markdown code:

    ![Java Image](https://java.languages/logo.png "Java Logo")

Html output:

    <img src="https://java.languages/logo.png" alt="Java Image" title="Java Logo"/>

Code syntax highlighting

This markdown:

         ``` java
             public static void main(String[] args){
                
                  System.out.println("Hello world");
                
             }
         ```

Is transformed into the following html:

   
   <pre>
   
        <code class="language-java">
            
            public static void main(String[] args){
                        
                 System.out.println("Hello world");
                        
            }
            
        </code>
        
   </pre>
   

The html is then displayed like this:

   public static void main(String[] args){
               
       System.out.println("Hello world");
   }
