Paragraphs
Here’s a regular paragraph.
In Markdown 1.0.0 and earlier. Version 8. This line turns into a list item. Because a hard-wrapped line in the middle of a paragraph looked like a list item.
Here’s one with a bullet. * criminey.
There should be a hard line break here.
Block Quotes
E-mail style:
This is a block quote. It is pretty short.
Code in a block quote:
sub status {
print "working";
}
A list:
item one
item two
Nested block quotes:
nested
nested
This should not be a block quote: 2 > 1.
And a following paragraph.
Code Blocks
Code:
---- (should be four hyphens)
sub status {
print "working";
}
this code block is indented by one tab
And:
this code block is indented by two tabs
These should not be escaped:  \$ \\ \> \[ \{

HTML Blocks
Simple block on one line:
foo
And nested without indentation:
foo
bar
Interpreted markdown in a table:
This is emphasized
And this is strong
Here’s a simple block:
foo
This should be a code block, though:
<div>
foo
</div>
As should this:
<div>foo</div>
Now, nested:
foo
This should just be an HTML comment:
Multiline:
Code block:
<!-- Comment -->
Just plain comment, with trailing spaces on the line:
Code:
<hr />
Hr’s:
Inline Markup
This is emphasized, and so is this.
This is strong, and so is this.
An emphasized link.
This is strong and em.
So is this word.
This is strong and em.
So is this word.
This is code: >, $, \, \$, <html>.
This is strikeout.
Superscripts: abcd ahello ahello there.
Subscripts: H2O, H23O, Hmany of themO.
These should not be superscripts or subscripts, because of the unescaped spaces: a^b c^d, a~b c~d.
Smart quotes, ellipses, dashes
“Hello,” said the spider. “‘Shelob’ is my name.”
‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ are letters.
‘Oak,’ ‘elm,’ and ‘beech’ are names of trees. So is ‘pine.’
‘He said, “I want to go.”’ Were you alive in the 70’s?
Here is some quoted ‘code’ and a “quoted link”.
Some dashes: one—two — three—four — five.
Dashes between numbers: 5–7, 255–66, 1987–1999.
Ellipses…and…and….

Here’s some display math: $$\frac{d}{dx}f(x)=\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$$
Here’s one that has a line break in it: α + ω × x2.
These shouldn’t be math:
To get the famous equation, write $e = mc^2$.
$22,000 is a lot of money. So is $34,000. (It worked if “lot” is emphasized.)
Shoes ($20) and socks ($5).
Escaped $: $73 this should be emphasized 23$.

From “Voyage dans la Lune” by Georges Melies (1902):

Here is a movie  icon.
Footnotes
Here is a footnote reference, and another. This should not be a footnote reference, because it contains a space.[^my note] Here is an inline note.
Here is the footnote. It can go anywhere after the footnote reference. It need not be placed at the end of the document.
Here’s the long note. This one contains multiple blocks.
Subsequent blocks are indented to show that they belong to the footnote (as with list items).
{ <code> }
If you want, you can indent every line, but you can also be lazy and just indent the first line of each block.
This is easier to type. Inline notes may contain links and ] verbatim characters, as well as [bracketed text].
Notes can go in quotes.
In quote.
And in list items.
In list.
This paragraph should not be part of the note, as it is not indented.
