Using Markdown and other syntax

Our website entries use Markdown syntax for formatting. This allows you to easily format your text for our system to generate it as HTML. Markdown is very easy to learn and you can simply save your text files as .markdown or even just .txt on your computer.

Here are the common Markdown formatting that you will use while translating or writing for our site.

# A First Level Header

## A Second Level Header

This is just a regular paragraph.
Notice how the paragraph does not end until there is an empty line.

Like this.

### Level 3 Header

The more hashes you have, the deeper the header level.

Blockquotes

Emphasis

Some of these words are emphasised, aka italics.

Use two asterisks for strong emphasis, aka bold.

Lists

There are three markers for bullet lists:

    • Asterisk
    • Plus
    • Dash
  • Any of these would do the job
  • Just remember to have an empty line before and after the list
    Numbered lists are easy too:
  1. Easy as one,
  2. Two,
  3. Three.

Links

There are several ways to do links with Markdown, but we recommend in-line links for [WuxiaSociety](http://wuxiasociety.com/).

Footnotes

Footnotes are not a part of Markdown syntax. We created this custom formatting for us to quote references and to explain certain terms on the site.

Add the following code at the end of the word or sentence you wish to have a foot note. For sentences, the foot note should come after the punctuation. There should be no spacing between the word and the foot note.

[foot]This is where your explanation goes.[/foot]

Introductions

Each entry has an introductory paragraph. Introductions should be a short sentence.

<p class="intro">Summarise your entry in a concise sentence.</p>

We usually use the Introduction to state the title of the chapter, since the article titles contains only the book and chapter number.
