Markdown Definitions

This specification defines which markdown syntax can be parsed by maddy. There is no HTML allowed in the markdown syntax - or said otherwise - it might destroy the output, if there was HTML in your markdown.

The Parser expects you to use spaces and not tabs for indentation in the markdown.

If a line starts with < and config->isHTMLWrappedInParagraph is false, it expects that the upcoming line is HTML and therefor will not be surrounded by a paragraph.

Headlines

# h1 heading
## h2 heading
### h3 heading

results in:

<h1>h1 heading</h1>
<h2>h2 heading</h2>
<h3>h3 heading</h3>
<h4>h4 heading</h4>
<h5>h5 heading</h5>
<h6>h6 heading</h6>

results in

<a href="http://example.com">Text of the link</a>
