# Markdown to HTML Conversion

Expert skill for converting Markdown documents to HTML using the marked.js library, or writing data conversion scripts; in this case scripts similar to [markedJS/marked](https://github.com/markedjs/marked) repository. For custom scripts knowledge is not confined to `marked.js`, but data conversion methods are utilized from tools like [pandoc](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc) and [gomarkdown/markdown](https://github.com/gomarkdown/markdown) for data conversion; [jekyll/jekyll](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll) and [gohugoio/hugo](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo) for templating systems.

The conversion script or tool should handle single files, batch conversions, and advanced configurations.

## When to Use This Skill

- User asks to "convert markdown to html" or "transform md files"
- User wants to "render markdown" as HTML output
- User needs to generate HTML documentation from .md files
- User is building static sites from Markdown content
- User is building template system that converts markdown to html
- User is working on a tool, widget, or custom template for an existing templating system
- User wants to preview Markdown as rendered HTML

### Step-by-Step Workflows

See [marked.md](references/marked.md) **Step-by-Step Workflows**

### CLI Configuration

### Using Config Files

Create `~/.marked.json` for persistent options:

```json
{
  "gfm": true,
  "breaks": true
}
```

Or use a custom config:

```bash
marked -i input.md -o output.html -c config.json
```

### CLI Options Reference

| `-i, --input <file>` | Input Markdown file |
| `-o, --output <file>` | Output HTML file |
| `-s, --string <string>` | Parse string instead of file |
| `-c, --config <file>` | Use custom config file |
| `--gfm` | Enable GitHub Flavored Markdown |
| `--breaks` | Convert newlines to `<br>` |
| `--help` | Show all options |

### Security Warning

⚠️ **Marked does NOT sanitize output HTML.** For untrusted input, use a sanitizer:

```javascript
import { marked } from 'marked';
import DOMPurify from 'dompurify';

const unsafeHtml = marked.parse(untrustedMarkdown);
const safeHtml = DOMPurify.sanitize(unsafeHtml);
```

Recommended sanitizers:

- [DOMPurify](https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify) (recommended)
- [sanitize-html](https://github.com/apostrophecms/sanitize-html)
- [js-xss](https://github.com/leizongmin/js-xss)

### Supported Markdown Flavors

| Flavor | Support |
|--------|---------|
| Original Markdown | 100% |
| CommonMark 0.31 | 98% |
| GitHub Flavored Markdown | 97% |

### Troubleshooting

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Special characters at file start | Strip zero-width chars: `content.replace(/^[\u200B\u200C\u200D\uFEFF]/,"")` |
| Code blocks not highlighting | Add a syntax highlighter like highlight.js |
| Tables not rendering | Ensure `gfm: true` option is set |
| Line breaks ignored | Set `breaks: true` in options |
| XSS vulnerability concerns | Use DOMPurify to sanitize output |

## Working with [`pandoc`](references/pandoc.md)

### Prerequisites

- Pandoc installed (download from <https://pandoc.org/installing.html>)
- For PDF output: LaTeX installation (MacTeX on macOS, MiKTeX on Windows, texlive on Linux)
- Terminal/command prompt access

### Quick Conversion Methods

#### Method 1: CLI Basic Conversion

```bash
# Convert markdown to HTML
pandoc input.md -o output.html

# Convert with standalone document (includes header/footer)
pandoc input.md -s -o output.html

# Explicit format specification
pandoc input.md -f markdown -t html -s -o output.html
```

#### Method 2: Filter Mode (Interactive)

```bash
# Start pandoc as a filter
pandoc

# Type markdown, then Ctrl-D (Linux/macOS) or Ctrl-Z+Enter (Windows)
Hello *pandoc*!
# Output: <p>Hello <em>pandoc</em>!</p>
```

#### Method 3: Format Conversion

```bash
# HTML to Markdown
pandoc -f html -t markdown input.html -o output.md

# Markdown to LaTeX
pandoc input.md -s -o output.tex

# Markdown to PDF (requires LaTeX)
pandoc input.md -s -o output.pdf

# Markdown to Word
pandoc input.md -s -o output.docx
```

### CLI Configuration

| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `-f, --from <format>` | Input format (markdown, html, latex, etc.) |
| `-t, --to <format>` | Output format (html, latex, pdf, docx, etc.) |

### Security Warning

⚠️ **Pandoc processes input faithfully.** When converting untrusted markdown:

- Use `--sandbox` mode to disable external file access
- Validate input before processing
- Sanitize HTML output if displayed in browsers

```bash
# Run in sandbox mode for untrusted input
pandoc --sandbox input.md -o output.html
```

### Supported Markdown Flavors

| Flavor | Support |
|--------|---------|
| Pandoc Markdown | 100% (native) |
| CommonMark | Full (use `-f commonmark`) |
| GitHub Flavored Markdown | Full (use `-f gfm`) |
| MultiMarkdown | Partial |

### Troubleshooting

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| PDF generation fails | Install LaTeX (MacTeX, MiKTeX, or texlive) |
| Encoding issues on Windows | Run `chcp 65001` before using pandoc |

### Prerequisites

- Go 1.18 or higher installed
- Install the library: `go get github.com/gomarkdown/markdown`
- For CLI tool: `go install github.com/gomarkdown/mdtohtml@latest`

### Quick Conversion Methods

#### Method 1: Simple Conversion (Go)

```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown"
)

func main() {
    md := []byte("# Hello World\n\nThis is **bold** text.")
    html := markdown.ToHTML(md, nil, nil)
    fmt.Println(string(html))
}
```

#### Method 2: CLI Tool

```bash
# Install mdtohtml
go install github.com/gomarkdown/mdtohtml@latest

# Convert file
mdtohtml input.md output.html

```

#### Method 3: Custom Parser and Renderer

```go
package main

import (
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/parser"
)

func mdToHTML(md []byte) []byte {
    // Create parser with extensions
    extensions := parser.CommonExtensions | parser.AutoHeadingIDs | parser.NoEmptyLineBeforeBlock
    p := parser.NewWithExtensions(extensions)
    doc := p.Parse(md)

    // Create HTML renderer with extensions
    htmlFlags := html.CommonFlags | html.HrefTargetBlank
    opts := html.RendererOptions{Flags: htmlFlags}
    renderer := html.NewRenderer(opts)

    return markdown.Render(doc, renderer)
}
```

### CLI Configuration

The `mdtohtml` CLI tool has minimal options:

```bash
mdtohtml input-file [output-file]
```

For advanced configuration, use the Go library programmatically with parser and renderer options:

| Parser Extension | Description |
|------------------|-------------|
| `parser.CommonExtensions` | Tables, fenced code, autolinks, strikethrough, etc. |
| `parser.AutoHeadingIDs` | Generate IDs for headings |
| `parser.NoEmptyLineBeforeBlock` | No blank line needed before blocks |
| `parser.MathJax` | MathJax support for LaTeX math |

```go
import (
    "github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown"
)

maybeUnsafeHTML := markdown.ToHTML(md, nil, nil)
html := bluemonday.UGCPolicy().SanitizeBytes(maybeUnsafeHTML)
```

Recommended sanitizer: [Bluemonday](https://github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday)

# Basic writing and formatting syntax

Create sophisticated formatting for your prose and code on GitHub with simple syntax.

## Headings

To create a heading, add one to six <kbd>#</kbd> symbols before your heading text. The number of <kbd>#</kbd> you use will determine the hierarchy level and typeface size of the heading.

```markdown
# A first-level heading
## A second-level heading
### A third-level heading
```

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing sample h1, h2, and h3 headers, which descend in type size and visual weight to show hierarchy level.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/headings-rendered.png)

When you use two or more headings, GitHub automatically generates a table of contents that you can access by clicking the "Outline" menu icon <svg version="1.1" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 16 16" class="octicon octicon-list-unordered" aria-label="Table of Contents" role="img"><path d="M5.75 2.5h8.5a.75.75 0 0 1 0 1.5h-8.5a.75.75 0 0 1 0-1.5Zm0 5h8.5a.75.75 0 0 1 0 1.5h-8.5a.75.75 0 0 1 0-1.5Zm0 5h8.5a.75.75 0 0 1 0 1.5h-8.5a.75.75 0 0 1 0-1.5ZM2 14a1 1 0 1 1 0-2 1 1 0 0 1 0 2Zm1-6a1 1 0 1 1-2 0 1 1 0 0 1 2 0ZM2 4a1 1 0 1 1 0-2 1 1 0 0 1 0 2Z"></path></svg> within the file header. Each heading title is listed in the table of contents and you can click a title to navigate to the selected section.

![Screenshot of a README file with the drop-down menu for the table of contents exposed. The table of contents icon is outlined in dark orange.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/repository/headings-toc.png)

## Styling text

You can indicate emphasis with bold, italic, strikethrough, subscript, or superscript text in comment fields and `.md` files.

| Style                  | Syntax              | Keyboard shortcut                                                                     | Example                                  | Output                                 |                                                   |

## Quoting text

You can quote text with a <kbd>></kbd>.

```markdown
Text that is not a quote

> Text that is a quote
```

Quoted text is indented with a vertical line on the left and displayed using gray type.

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing the difference between normal and quoted text.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/quoted-text-rendered.png)

> \[!NOTE]
> When viewing a conversation, you can automatically quote text in a comment by highlighting the text, then typing <kbd>R</kbd>. You can quote an entire comment by clicking <svg version="1.1" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 16 16" class="octicon octicon-kebab-horizontal" aria-label="The horizontal kebab icon" role="img"><path d="M8 9a1.5 1.5 0 1 0 0-3 1.5 1.5 0 0 0 0 3ZM1.5 9a1.5 1.5 0 1 0 0-3 1.5 1.5 0 0 0 0 3Zm13 0a1.5 1.5 0 1 0 0-3 1.5 1.5 0 0 0 0 3Z"></path></svg>, then **Quote reply**. For more information about keyboard shortcuts, see [Keyboard shortcuts](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/accessibility/keyboard-shortcuts).

## Quoting code

You can call out code or a command within a sentence with single backticks. The text within the backticks will not be formatted. You can also press the <kbd>Command</kbd>+<kbd>E</kbd> (Mac) or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>E</kbd> (Windows/Linux) keyboard shortcut to insert the backticks for a code block within a line of Markdown.

```markdown
Use `git status` to list all new or modified files that haven't yet been committed.
```

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing that characters surrounded by backticks are shown in a fixed-width typeface, highlighted in light gray.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/inline-code-rendered.png)

To format code or text into its own distinct block, use triple backticks.

````markdown
Some basic Git commands are:
```
git status
git add
git commit
```
````

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing a simple code block without syntax highlighting.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/code-block-rendered.png)

For more information, see [Creating and highlighting code blocks](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks).

If you are frequently editing code snippets and tables, you may benefit from enabling a fixed-width font in all comment fields on GitHub. For more information, see [About writing and formatting on GitHub](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/about-writing-and-formatting-on-github#enabling-fixed-width-fonts-in-the-editor).

## Supported color models

In issues, pull requests, and discussions, you can call out colors within a sentence by using backticks. A supported color model within backticks will display a visualization of the color.

```markdown
The background color is `#ffffff` for light mode and `#000000` for dark mode.
```

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing how HEX values within backticks create small circles of color, here white and then black.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/supported-color-models-rendered.png)

Here are the currently supported color models.

| Color | Syntax                      | Example                             | Output                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ----- | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| HEX   | <code>\`#RRGGBB\`</code>    | <code>\`#0969DA\`</code>            | ![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing how HEX value #0969DA appears with a blue circle.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/supported-color-models-hex-rendered.png)       |
| RGB   | <code>\`rgb(R,G,B)\`</code> | <code>\`rgb(9, 105, 218)\`</code>   | ![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing how RGB value 9, 105, 218 appears with a blue circle.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/supported-color-models-rgb-rendered.png)   |
| HSL   | <code>\`hsl(H,S,L)\`</code> | <code>\`hsl(212, 92%, 45%)\`</code> | ![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing how HSL value 212, 92%, 45% appears with a blue circle.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/supported-color-models-hsl-rendered.png) |

> \[!NOTE]
>
> * A supported color model cannot have any leading or trailing spaces within the backticks.
> * The visualization of the color is only supported in issues, pull requests, and discussions.

## Links

You can create an inline link by wrapping link text in brackets `[ ]`, and then wrapping the URL in parentheses `( )`. You can also use the keyboard shortcut <kbd>Command</kbd>+<kbd>K</kbd> to create a link. When you have text selected, you can paste a URL from your clipboard to automatically create a link from the selection.

You can also create a Markdown hyperlink by highlighting the text and using the keyboard shortcut <kbd>Command</kbd>+<kbd>V</kbd>. If you'd like to replace the text with the link, use the keyboard shortcut <kbd>Command</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>V</kbd>.

`This site was built using [GitHub Pages](https://pages.github.com/).`

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing how text within brackets, "GitHub Pages," appears as a blue hyperlink.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/link-rendered.png)

> \[!NOTE]
> GitHub automatically creates links when valid URLs are written in a comment. For more information, see [Autolinked references and URLs](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/autolinked-references-and-urls).

## Section links

You can link directly to any section that has a heading. To view the automatically generated anchor in a rendered file, hover over the section heading to expose the <svg version="1.1" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 16 16" class="octicon octicon-link" aria-label="the link" role="img"><path d="m7.775 3.275 1.25-1.25a3.5 3.5 0 1 1 4.95 4.95l-2.5 2.5a3.5 3.5 0 0 1-4.95 0 .751.751 0 0 1 .018-1.042.751.751 0 0 1 1.042-.018 1.998 1.998 0 0 0 2.83 0l2.5-2.5a2.002 2.002 0 0 0-2.83-2.83l-1.25 1.25a.751.751 0 0 1-1.042-.018.751.751 0 0 1-.018-1.042Zm-4.69 9.64a1.998 1.998 0 0 0 2.83 0l1.25-1.25a.751.751 0 0 1 1.042.018.751.751 0 0 1 .018 1.042l-1.25 1.25a3.5 3.5 0 1 1-4.95-4.95l2.5-2.5a3.5 3.5 0 0 1 4.95 0 .751.751 0 0 1-.018 1.042.751.751 0 0 1-1.042.018 1.998 1.998 0 0 0-2.83 0l-2.5 2.5a1.998 1.998 0 0 0 0 2.83Z"></path></svg> icon and click the icon to display the anchor in your browser.

![Screenshot of a README for a repository. To the left of a section heading, a link icon is outlined in dark orange.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/repository/readme-links.png)

If you need to determine the anchor for a heading in a file you are editing, you can use the following basic rules:

* Letters are converted to lower-case.
* Spaces are replaced by hyphens (`-`). Any other whitespace or punctuation characters are removed.
* Leading and trailing whitespace are removed.
* Markup formatting is removed, leaving only the contents (for example, `_italics_` becomes `italics`).
* If the automatically generated anchor for a heading is identical to an earlier anchor in the same document, a unique identifier is generated by appending a hyphen and an auto-incrementing integer.

For more detailed information on the requirements of URI fragments, see [RFC 3986: Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax, Section 3.5](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986#section-3.5).

The code block below demonstrates the basic rules used to generate anchors from headings in rendered content.

```markdown
# Example headings

## Sample Section

## This'll be a _Helpful_ Section About the Greek Letter Θ!
A heading containing characters not allowed in fragments, UTF-8 characters, two consecutive spaces between the first and second words, and formatting.

## This heading is not unique in the file

TEXT 1

## This heading is not unique in the file

TEXT 2

# Links to the example headings above

Link to the sample section: [Link Text](#sample-section).

Link to the helpful section: [Link Text](#thisll-be-a-helpful-section-about-the-greek-letter-Θ).

Link to the first non-unique section: [Link Text](#this-heading-is-not-unique-in-the-file).

Link to the second non-unique section: [Link Text](#this-heading-is-not-unique-in-the-file-1).
```

> \[!NOTE]
> If you edit a heading, or if you change the order of headings with "identical" anchors, you will also need to update any links to those headings as the anchors will change.

## Relative links

You can define relative links and image paths in your rendered files to help readers navigate to other files in your repository.

A relative link is a link that is relative to the current file. For example, if you have a README file in root of your repository, and you have another file in *docs/CONTRIBUTING.md*, the relative link to *CONTRIBUTING.md* in your README might look like this:

```text
[Contribution guidelines for this project](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
```

GitHub will automatically transform your relative link or image path based on whatever branch you're currently on, so that the link or path always works. The path of the link will be relative to the current file. Links starting with `/` will be relative to the repository root. You can use all relative link operands, such as `./` and `../`.

Your link text should be on a single line. The example below will not work.

```markdown
[Contribution
guidelines for this project](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
```

Relative links are easier for users who clone your repository. Absolute links may not work in clones of your repository - we recommend using relative links to refer to other files within your repository.

## Custom anchors

You can use standard HTML anchor tags (`<a name="unique-anchor-name"></a>`) to create navigation anchor points for any location in the document. To avoid ambiguous references, use a unique naming scheme for anchor tags, such as adding a prefix to the `name` attribute value.

> \[!NOTE]
> Custom anchors will not be included in the document outline/Table of Contents.

You can link to a custom anchor using the value of the `name` attribute you gave the anchor. The syntax is exactly the same as when you link to an anchor that is automatically generated for a heading.

For example:

```markdown
# Section Heading

Some body text of this section.

<a name="my-custom-anchor-point"></a>
Some text I want to provide a direct link to, but which doesn't have its own heading.

(… more content…)

[A link to that custom anchor](#my-custom-anchor-point)
```

> \[!TIP]
> Custom anchors are not considered by the automatic naming and numbering behavior of automatic heading links.

## Line breaks

If you're writing in issues, pull requests, or discussions in a repository, GitHub will render a line break automatically:

```markdown
This example
Will span two lines
```

However, if you are writing in an .md file, the example above would render on one line without a line break. To create a line break in an .md file, you will need to include one of the following:

* Include two spaces at the end of the first line.
  <pre>
  This example&nbsp;&nbsp;
  Will span two lines
  </pre>

* Include a backslash at the end of the first line.

  ```markdown
  This example\
  Will span two lines
  ```

* Include an HTML single line break tag at the end of the first line.

  ```markdown
  This example<br/>
  Will span two lines
  ```

If you leave a blank line between two lines, both .md files and Markdown in issues, pull requests, and discussions will render the two lines separated by the blank line:

```markdown
This example

Will have a blank line separating both lines
```

## Images

You can display an image by adding <kbd>!</kbd> and wrapping the alt text in `[ ]`. Alt text is a short text equivalent of the information in the image. Then, wrap the link for the image in parentheses `()`.

`![Screenshot of a comment on a GitHub issue showing an image, added in the Markdown, of an Octocat smiling and raising a tentacle.](https://myoctocat.com/assets/images/base-octocat.svg)`

![Screenshot of a comment on a GitHub issue showing an image, added in the Markdown, of an Octocat smiling and raising a tentacle.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/image-rendered.png)

GitHub supports embedding images into your issues, pull requests, discussions, comments and `.md` files. You can display an image from your repository, add a link to an online image, or upload an image. For more information, see [Uploading assets](#uploading-assets).

> \[!NOTE]
> When you want to display an image that is in your repository, use relative links instead of absolute links.

Here are some examples for using relative links to display an image.

| Context                                                     | Relative Link                                                          |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| In a `.md` file on the same branch                          | `/assets/images/electrocat.png`                                        |
| In a `.md` file on another branch                           | `/../main/assets/images/electrocat.png`                                |
| In issues, pull requests and comments of the repository     | `../blob/main/assets/images/electrocat.png?raw=true`                   |
| In a `.md` file in another repository                       | `/../../../../github/docs/blob/main/assets/images/electrocat.png`      |
| In issues, pull requests and comments of another repository | `../../../github/docs/blob/main/assets/images/electrocat.png?raw=true` |

> \[!NOTE]
> The last two relative links in the table above will work for images in a private repository only if the viewer has at least read access to the private repository that contains these images.

For more information, see [Relative Links](#relative-links).

### The Picture element

The `<picture>` HTML element is supported.

## Lists

You can make an unordered list by preceding one or more lines of text with <kbd>-</kbd>, <kbd>\*</kbd>, or <kbd>+</kbd>.

```markdown
- George Washington
* John Adams
+ Thomas Jefferson
```

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing a bulleted list of the names of the first three American presidents.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/unordered-list-rendered.png)

To order your list, precede each line with a number.

```markdown
1. James Madison
2. James Monroe
3. John Quincy Adams
```

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing a numbered list of the names of the fourth, fifth, and sixth American presidents.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/ordered-list-rendered.png)

### Nested Lists

You can create a nested list by indenting one or more list items below another item.

To create a nested list using the web editor on GitHub or a text editor that uses a monospaced font, like [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/), you can align your list visually. Type space characters in front of your nested list item until the list marker character (<kbd>-</kbd> or <kbd>\*</kbd>) lies directly below the first character of the text in the item above it.

```markdown
1. First list item
   - First nested list item
     - Second nested list item
```

> \[!NOTE]
> In the web-based editor, you can indent or dedent one or more lines of text by first highlighting the desired lines and then using <kbd>Tab</kbd> or <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> respectively.

![Screenshot of Markdown in Visual Studio Code showing indentation of nested numbered lines and bullets.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/nested-list-alignment.png)

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing a numbered item followed by nested bullets at two different levels of nesting.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/nested-list-example-1.png)

To create a nested list in the comment editor on GitHub, which doesn't use a monospaced font, you can look at the list item immediately above the nested list and count the number of characters that appear before the content of the item. Then type that number of space characters in front of the nested list item.

In this example, you could add a nested list item under the list item `100. First list item` by indenting the nested list item a minimum of five spaces, since there are five characters (`100. `) before `First list item`.

```markdown
100. First list item
     - First nested list item
```

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing a numbered item prefaced by the number 100 followed by a bulleted item nested one level.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/nested-list-example-3.png)

You can create multiple levels of nested lists using the same method. For example, because the first nested list item has seven characters (`␣␣␣␣␣-␣`) before the nested list content `First nested list item`, you would need to indent the second nested list item by at least two more characters (nine spaces minimum).

```markdown
100. First list item
     - First nested list item
       - Second nested list item
```

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing a numbered item prefaced by the number 100 followed by bullets at two different levels of nesting.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/nested-list-example-2.png)

For more examples, see the [GitHub Flavored Markdown Spec](https://github.github.com/gfm/#example-265).

## Task lists

To create a task list, preface list items with a hyphen and space followed by `[ ]`. To mark a task as complete, use `[x]`.

```markdown
- [x] #739
- [ ] https://github.com/octo-org/octo-repo/issues/740
- [ ] Add delight to the experience when all tasks are complete :tada:
```

![Screenshot showing the rendered version of the markdown. The references to issues are rendered as issue titles.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/task-list-rendered-simple.png)

If a task list item description begins with a parenthesis, you'll need to escape it with <kbd>\\</kbd>:

`- [ ] \(Optional) Open a followup issue`

For more information, see [About tasklists](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/about-task-lists).

## Mentioning people and teams

You can mention a person or [team](https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/organizing-members-into-teams) on GitHub by typing <kbd>@</kbd> plus their username or team name. This will trigger a notification and bring their attention to the conversation. People will also receive a notification if you edit a comment to mention their username or team name. For more information about notifications, see [About notifications](https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/managing-subscriptions-and-notifications-on-github/setting-up-notifications/about-notifications).

> \[!NOTE]
> A person will only be notified about a mention if the person has read access to the repository and, if the repository is owned by an organization, the person is a member of the organization.

`@github/support What do you think about these updates?`

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing how the team mention "@github/support" renders as bold, clickable text.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/mention-rendered.png)

When you mention a parent team, members of its child teams also receive notifications, simplifying communication with multiple groups of people. For more information, see [About organization teams](https://docs.github.com/en/organizations/organizing-members-into-teams/about-teams).

Typing an <kbd>@</kbd> symbol will bring up a list of people or teams on a project. The list filters as you type, so once you find the name of the person or team you are looking for, you can use the arrow keys to select it and press either tab or enter to complete the name. For teams, enter the @organization/team-name and all members of that team will get subscribed to the conversation.

The autocomplete results are restricted to repository collaborators and any other participants on the thread.

## Referencing issues and pull requests

You can bring up a list of suggested issues and pull requests within the repository by typing <kbd>#</kbd>. Type the issue or pull request number or title to filter the list, and then press either tab or enter to complete the highlighted result.

For more information, see [Autolinked references and URLs](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/autolinked-references-and-urls).

## Referencing external resources

If custom autolink references are configured for a repository, then references to external resources, like a JIRA issue or Zendesk ticket, convert into shortened links. To know which autolinks are available in your repository, contact someone with admin permissions to the repository. For more information, see [Configuring autolinks to reference external resources](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/managing-repository-settings/configuring-autolinks-to-reference-external-resources).

## Uploading assets

You can upload assets like images by dragging and dropping, selecting from a file browser, or pasting. You can upload assets to issues, pull requests, comments, and `.md` files in your repository.

## Using emojis

You can add emoji to your writing by typing `:EMOJICODE:`, a colon followed by the name of the emoji.

`@octocat :+1: This PR looks great - it's ready to merge! :shipit:`

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing how emoji codes for +1 and shipit render visually as emoji.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/emoji-rendered.png)

Typing <kbd>:</kbd> will bring up a list of suggested emoji. The list will filter as you type, so once you find the emoji you're looking for, press **Tab** or **Enter** to complete the highlighted result.

For a full list of available emoji and codes, see [the Emoji-Cheat-Sheet](https://github.com/ikatyang/emoji-cheat-sheet/blob/github-actions-auto-update/README.md).

## Paragraphs

You can create a new paragraph by leaving a blank line between lines of text.

## Footnotes

You can add footnotes to your content by using this bracket syntax:

```text
Here is a simple footnote[^1].

A footnote can also have multiple lines[^2].

[^1]: My reference.
[^2]: To add line breaks within a footnote, add 2 spaces to the end of a line.  
This is a second line.
```

The footnote will render like this:

![Screenshot of rendered Markdown showing superscript numbers used to indicate footnotes, along with optional line breaks inside a note.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/footnote-rendered.png)

> \[!NOTE]
> The position of a footnote in your Markdown does not influence where the footnote will be rendered. You can write a footnote right after your reference to the footnote, and the footnote will still render at the bottom of the Markdown. Footnotes are not supported in wikis.

## Alerts

**Alerts**, also sometimes known as **callouts** or **admonitions**, are a Markdown extension based on the blockquote syntax that you can use to emphasize critical information. On GitHub, they are displayed with distinctive colors and icons to indicate the significance of the content.

Use alerts only when they are crucial for user success and limit them to one or two per article to prevent overloading the reader. Additionally, you should avoid placing alerts consecutively. Alerts cannot be nested within other elements.

To add an alert, use a special blockquote line specifying the alert type, followed by the alert information in a standard blockquote. Five types of alerts are available:

```markdown
> [!NOTE]
> Useful information that users should know, even when skimming content.

> [!TIP]
> Helpful advice for doing things better or more easily.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Key information users need to know to achieve their goal.

> [!WARNING]
> Urgent info that needs immediate user attention to avoid problems.

> [!CAUTION]
> Advises about risks or negative outcomes of certain actions.
```

Here are the rendered alerts:

![Screenshot of rendered Markdown alerts showing how Note, Tip, Important, Warning, and Caution render with different colored text and icons.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/alerts-rendered.png)

## Hiding content with comments

You can tell GitHub to hide content from the rendered Markdown by placing the content in an HTML comment.

```text
<!-- This content will not appear in the rendered Markdown -->
```

## Ignoring Markdown formatting

You can tell GitHub to ignore (or escape) Markdown formatting by using <kbd>\\</kbd> before the Markdown character.

`Let's rename \*our-new-project\* to \*our-old-project\*.`

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing how backslashes prevent the conversion of asterisks to italics.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/escaped-character-rendered.png)

For more information on backslashes, see Daring Fireball's [Markdown Syntax](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#backslash).

> \[!NOTE]
> The Markdown formatting will not be ignored in the title of an issue or a pull request.

## Disabling Markdown rendering

When viewing a Markdown file, you can click **Code** at the top of the file to disable Markdown rendering and view the file's source instead.

![Screenshot of a Markdown file in a repository showing options for interacting with the file. A button, labeled "Code", is outlined in dark orange.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/display-markdown-as-source-global-nav-update.png)

Disabling Markdown rendering enables you to use source view features, such as line linking, which is not possible when viewing rendered Markdown files.

# Creating and highlighting code blocks

Share samples of code with fenced code blocks and enabling syntax highlighting.

## Fenced code blocks

You can create fenced code blocks by placing triple backticks <code>\`\`\`</code> before and after the code block. We recommend placing a blank line before and after code blocks to make the raw formatting easier to read.

````text
```
function test() {
  console.log("notice the blank line before this function?");
}
```
````

![Screenshot of rendered GitHub Markdown showing the use of triple backticks to create code blocks. The block begins with "function test() {."](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/fenced-code-block-rendered.png)

> \[!TIP]
> To preserve your formatting within a list, make sure to indent non-fenced code blocks by eight spaces.

To display triple backticks in a fenced code block, wrap them inside quadruple backticks.

`````text
````
```
Look! You can see my backticks.
```
````
`````

![Screenshot of rendered Markdown showing that when you write triple backticks between quadruple backticks they are visible in the rendered content.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/fenced-code-show-backticks-rendered.png)

If you are frequently editing code snippets and tables, you may benefit from enabling a fixed-width font in all comment fields on GitHub. For more information, see [About writing and formatting on GitHub](https://docs.github.com/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/about-writing-and-formatting-on-github#enabling-fixed-width-fonts-in-the-editor).

## Syntax highlighting

<!-- If you make changes to this feature, check whether any of the changes affect languages listed in /get-started/learning-about-github/github-language-support. If so, please update the language support article accordingly. -->

You can add an optional language identifier to enable syntax highlighting in your fenced code block.

Syntax highlighting changes the color and style of source code to make it easier to read.

For example, to syntax highlight Ruby code:

````text
```ruby
require 'redcarpet'
markdown = Redcarpet.new("Hello World!")
puts markdown.to_html
```
````

This will display the code block with syntax highlighting:

![Screenshot of three lines of Ruby code as displayed on GitHub. Elements of the code display in purple, blue, and red type for scannability.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/code-block-syntax-highlighting-rendered.png)

> \[!TIP]
> When you create a fenced code block that you also want to have syntax highlighting on a GitHub Pages site, use lower-case language identifiers. For more information, see [About GitHub Pages and Jekyll](https://docs.github.com/pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll/about-github-pages-and-jekyll#syntax-highlighting).

We use [Linguist](https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist) to perform language detection and to select [third-party grammars](https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/main/vendor/README.md) for syntax highlighting. You can find out which keywords are valid in [the languages YAML file](https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist/blob/main/lib/linguist/languages.yml).

## Creating diagrams

You can also use code blocks to create diagrams in Markdown. GitHub supports Mermaid, GeoJSON, TopoJSON, and ASCII STL syntax. For more information, see [Creating diagrams](https://docs.github.com/get-started/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-diagrams).

# Organizing information with collapsed sections

You can streamline your Markdown by creating a collapsed section with the `<details>` tag.

## Creating a collapsed section

You can temporarily obscure sections of your Markdown by creating a collapsed section that the reader can choose to expand. For example, when you want to include technical details in an issue comment that may not be relevant or interesting to every reader, you can put those details in a collapsed section.

Any Markdown within the `<details>` block will be collapsed until the reader clicks <svg version="1.1" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 16 16" class="octicon octicon-triangle-right" aria-label="The right triangle icon" role="img"><path d="m6.427 4.427 3.396 3.396a.25.25 0 0 1 0 .354l-3.396 3.396A.25.25 0 0 1 6 11.396V4.604a.25.25 0 0 1 .427-.177Z"></path></svg> to expand the details.

Within the `<details>` block, use the `<summary>` tag to let readers know what is inside. The label appears to the right of <svg version="1.1" width="16" height="16" viewBox="0 0 16 16" class="octicon octicon-triangle-right" aria-label="The right triangle icon" role="img"><path d="m6.427 4.427 3.396 3.396a.25.25 0 0 1 0 .354l-3.396 3.396A.25.25 0 0 1 6 11.396V4.604a.25.25 0 0 1 .427-.177Z"></path></svg>.

# gomarkdown/markdown Reference

Go library for parsing Markdown and rendering HTML. Fast, extensible, and thread-safe.

## Installation

```bash
# Add to your Go project
go get github.com/gomarkdown/markdown

# Install CLI tool
go install github.com/gomarkdown/mdtohtml@latest
```

## Basic Usage

### Simple Conversion

```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown"
)

func main() {
    md := []byte("# Hello World\n\nThis is **bold** text.")

```bash
# Convert file to HTML
mdtohtml input.md output.html

# Output to stdout
mdtohtml input.md
```

## Parser Configuration

### Common Extensions

```go
import (
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/parser"
)

// Create parser with extensions
extensions := parser.CommonExtensions | parser.AutoHeadingIDs
p := parser.NewWithExtensions(extensions)

// Parse markdown
doc := p.Parse(md)
```

### Available Parser Extensions

| Extension | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `parser.CommonExtensions` | Tables, fenced code, autolinks, strikethrough |
| `parser.Tables` | Pipe tables support |
| `parser.FencedCode` | Fenced code blocks with language |

## HTML Renderer Configuration

### Common Flags

```go
import (
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/parser"
)

// Parser
p := parser.NewWithExtensions(parser.CommonExtensions)

// Renderer
htmlFlags := html.CommonFlags | html.HrefTargetBlank
opts := html.RendererOptions{
    Flags: htmlFlags,
    Title: "My Document",
    CSS: "style.css",
}
renderer := html.NewRenderer(opts)

// Convert
html := markdown.ToHTML(md, p, renderer)
```

### Available HTML Flags

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `html.CommonFlags` | Common sensible defaults |
| `html.HrefTargetBlank` | Add `target="_blank"` to links |
| `html.CompletePage` | Generate complete HTML document |
| `html.UseXHTML` | Use XHTML output |
| `html.FootnoteReturnLinks` | Add return links in footnotes |
| `html.FootnoteNoHRTag` | No `<hr>` before footnotes |

opts := html.RendererOptions{
    Flags:          htmlFlags,
    Title:          "Document Title",
    CSS:            "path/to/style.css",
    Icon:           "favicon.ico",
    Head:           []byte("<meta name='author' content='...'>"),
    RenderNodeHook: customRenderHook,
}
```

## Complete Example

```go
package main

import (
    "os"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/parser"
)

func mdToHTML(md []byte) []byte {
    // Parser with extensions
    extensions := parser.CommonExtensions | 
                  parser.AutoHeadingIDs | 
                  parser.NoEmptyLineBeforeBlock
    p := parser.NewWithExtensions(extensions)
    doc := p.Parse(md)

    // HTML renderer with options
    htmlFlags := html.CommonFlags | html.HrefTargetBlank
    opts := html.RendererOptions{Flags: htmlFlags}
    renderer := html.NewRenderer(opts)

    return markdown.Render(doc, renderer)
}

func main() {
    md, _ := os.ReadFile("input.md")
    html := mdToHTML(md)
    os.WriteFile("output.html", html, 0644)
}
```

## Security: Sanitizing Output

**Important:** gomarkdown does not sanitize HTML output. Use Bluemonday for untrusted input:

```go
import (
    "github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown"
)

// Convert markdown to potentially unsafe HTML
unsafeHTML := markdown.ToHTML(md, nil, nil)

// Sanitize using Bluemonday
p := bluemonday.UGCPolicy()
safeHTML := p.SanitizeBytes(unsafeHTML)
```

### Bluemonday Policies

| Policy | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `UGCPolicy()` | User-generated content (most common) |
| `StrictPolicy()` | Strip all HTML |
| `StripTagsPolicy()` | Strip tags, keep text |
| `NewPolicy()` | Build custom policy |

## Working with AST

### Accessing the AST

```go
import (
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/ast"
    "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/parser"
)

p := parser.NewWithExtensions(parser.CommonExtensions)
doc := p.Parse(md)

// Walk the AST
ast.WalkFunc(doc, func(node ast.Node, entering bool) ast.WalkStatus {
    if heading, ok := node.(*ast.Heading); ok && entering {
        fmt.Printf("Found heading level %d\n", heading.Level)
    }
    return ast.GoToNext
})
```

### Custom Renderer

```go
type MyRenderer struct {
    *html.Renderer
}

func (r *MyRenderer) RenderNode(w io.Writer, node ast.Node, entering bool) ast.WalkStatus {
    // Custom rendering logic
    if heading, ok := node.(*ast.Heading); ok && entering {
        fmt.Fprintf(w, "<h%d class='custom'>", heading.Level)
        return ast.GoToNext
    }
    return r.Renderer.RenderNode(w, node, entering)
}
```

## Handling Newlines

Windows and Mac newlines need normalization:

```go
// Normalize newlines before parsing
normalized := parser.NormalizeNewlines(input)
html := markdown.ToHTML(normalized, nil, nil)
```

date = 2025-01-28T12:00:00-05:00
draft = false
tags = ['hugo', 'tutorial']
categories = ['blog']
author = 'John Doe'
+++

Content here...
```

### YAML

```markdown
---
title: "My First Post"
date: 2025-01-28T12:00:00-05:00
draft: false
tags: ["hugo", "tutorial"]
---

Content here...
```

## Templates

### Base Template (_default/baseof.html)

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>{{ .Title }} | {{ .Site.Title }}</title>
  {{ partial "head.html" . }}
</head>
<body>
  {{ partial "header.html" . }}
  <main>
    {{ block "main" . }}{{ end }}
  </main>
  {{ partial "footer.html" . }}
</body>
</html>
```

### Single Page (_default/single.html)

```html
{{ define "main" }}
<article>
  <h1>{{ .Title }}</h1>
  <time>{{ .Date.Format "January 2, 2006" }}</time>
  {{ .Content }}
</article>
{{ end }}
```

### List Page (_default/list.html)

```html
{{ define "main" }}
<h1>{{ .Title }}</h1>
{{ range .Pages }}
  <article>
    <h2><a href="{{ .Permalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a></h2>
    <p>{{ .Summary }}</p>
  </article>
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
```

## Shortcodes

### Built-in Shortcodes

```markdown
{{< figure src="/images/photo.jpg" title="My Photo" >}}

{{< youtube dQw4w9WgXcQ >}}

{{< gist user 12345 >}}

{{< highlight go >}}
fmt.Println("Hello")
{{< /highlight >}}
```

### Custom Shortcode (layouts/shortcodes/alert.html)

```html
<div class="alert alert-{{ .Get "type" | default "info" }}">
  {{ .Inner | markdownify }}
</div>
```

Usage:

```markdown
{{< alert type="warning" >}}
**Warning:** This is important!
{{< /alert >}}
```

## Content Organization

### Page Bundles

```
content/
β”œβ”€β”€ posts/
β”‚   └── my-post/           # Page bundle
β”‚       β”œβ”€β”€ index.md       # Content
β”‚       └── image.jpg      # Resources
└── _index.md              # Section page
```

### Accessing Resources

```html
{{ $image := .Resources.GetMatch "image.jpg" }}
{{ with $image }}
  <img src="{{ .RelPermalink }}" alt="...">
{{ end }}
```

## Hugo Pipes (Asset Processing)

### SCSS Compilation

```html
{{ $styles := resources.Get "scss/main.scss" | toCSS | minify }}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ $styles.RelPermalink }}">
```

### JavaScript Bundling

```html
{{ $js := resources.Get "js/main.js" | js.Build | minify }}
<script src="{{ $js.RelPermalink }}"></script>
```

## Taxonomies

### Configure

```toml
[taxonomies]
  tag = 'tags'
  category = 'categories'
```

### Use in Front Matter

```markdown
+++
tags = ['go', 'hugo']
categories = ['tutorials']
+++
```

### List Taxonomy Terms

```html
{{ range .Site.Taxonomies.tags }}
  <a href="{{ .Page.Permalink }}">{{ .Page.Title }} ({{ .Count }})</a>
{{ end }}
```

## Multilingual Sites

```toml
defaultContentLanguage = 'en'

[languages]
  [languages.en]
    title = 'My Site'
    weight = 1
  [languages.es]
    title = 'Mi Sitio'
    weight = 2
```

## Troubleshooting

| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| Page not found | Check `baseURL` configuration |
| Theme not loading | Verify theme path in config |
| Raw HTML not showing | Set `unsafe = true` in goldmark config |
| Slow builds | Use `--templateMetrics` to debug |
| Module errors | Run `hugo mod tidy` |
| CSS not updating | Clear browser cache or use fingerprinting |

# Marked

## Quick Conversion Methods

Expanded portions of `SKILL.md` at `### Quick Conversion Methods`.

### Method 1: CLI (Recommended for Single Files)

```bash
# Convert file to HTML
marked -i input.md -o output.html

# Convert string directly
marked -s "# Hello World"

# Output: <h1>Hello World</h1>
```

### Method 2: Node.js Script

```javascript
import { marked } from 'marked';
import { readFileSync, writeFileSync } from 'fs';

const markdown = readFileSync('input.md', 'utf-8');
const html = marked.parse(markdown);
writeFileSync('output.html', html);
```

### Method 3: Browser Usage

```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked/lib/marked.umd.js"></script>
<script>
  const html = marked.parse('# Markdown Content');
  document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = html;
</script>
```

---

## Step-by-Step Workflows

Expanded portions of `SKILL.md` at `### Step-by-Step Workflows`.

### Workflow 1: Single File Conversion

1. Ensure marked is installed: `npm install -g marked`
2. Run conversion: `marked -i README.md -o README.html`
3. Verify output file was created

### Workflow 2: Batch Conversion (Multiple Files)

Create a script `convert-all.js`:

```javascript
import { marked } from 'marked';
import { readFileSync, writeFileSync, readdirSync } from 'fs';
import { join, basename } from 'path';

const inputDir = './docs';
const outputDir = './html';

readdirSync(inputDir)
  .filter(file => file.endsWith('.md'))
  .forEach(file => {
    const markdown = readFileSync(join(inputDir, file), 'utf-8');
    const html = marked.parse(markdown);
    const outputFile = basename(file, '.md') + '.html';
    writeFileSync(join(outputDir, outputFile), html);
    console.log(`Converted: ${file} β†’ ${outputFile}`);
  });
```

Run with: `node convert-all.js`

### Workflow 3: Conversion with Custom Options

```javascript
import { marked } from 'marked';

// Configure options
marked.setOptions({
  gfm: true,           // GitHub Flavored Markdown
  breaks: true,        // Convert \n to <br>
  pedantic: false,     // Don't conform to original markdown.pl
});

const html = marked.parse(markdownContent);
```

### Workflow 4: Complete HTML Document

Wrap converted content in a full HTML template:

```javascript
import { marked } from 'marked';
import { readFileSync, writeFileSync } from 'fs';

const markdown = readFileSync('input.md', 'utf-8');
const content = marked.parse(markdown);

const html = `<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Document</title>
  <style>
    body { font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 2rem; }
    pre { background: #f4f4f4; padding: 1rem; overflow-x: auto; }
    code { background: #f4f4f4; padding: 0.2rem 0.4rem; border-radius: 3px; }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
${content}
</body>
</html>`;

writeFileSync('output.html', html);
```

# Organizing information with tables

You can build tables to organize information in comments, issues, pull requests, and wikis.

## Creating a table

You can create tables with pipes `|` and hyphens `-`. Hyphens are used to create each column's header, while pipes separate each column. You must include a blank line before your table in order for it to correctly render.

```markdown

| First Header  | Second Header |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| Content Cell  | Content Cell  |
| Content Cell  | Content Cell  |
```

![Screenshot of a GitHub Markdown table rendered as two equal columns. Headers are shown in boldface, and alternate content rows have gray shading.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/table-basic-rendered.png)

The pipes on either end of the table are optional.

Cells can vary in width and do not need to be perfectly aligned within columns. There must be at least three hyphens in each column of the header row.

```markdown
| Command | Description |
| --- | --- |
| git status | List all new or modified files |
| git diff | Show file differences that haven't been staged |
```

![Screenshot of a GitHub Markdown table with two columns of differing width. Rows list the commands "git status" and "git diff" and their descriptions.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/table-varied-columns-rendered.png)

If you are frequently editing code snippets and tables, you may benefit from enabling a fixed-width font in all comment fields on GitHub. For more information, see [About writing and formatting on GitHub](https://docs.github.com/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/about-writing-and-formatting-on-github#enabling-fixed-width-fonts-in-the-editor).

## Formatting content within your table

You can use [formatting](https://docs.github.com/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax) such as links, inline code blocks, and text styling within your table:

```markdown
| Command | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `git status` | List all *new or modified* files |
| `git diff` | Show file differences that **haven't been** staged |
```

![Screenshot of a GitHub Markdown table with the commands formatted as code blocks. Bold and italic formatting are used in the descriptions.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/table-inline-formatting-rendered.png)

You can align text to the left, right, or center of a column by including colons `:` to the left, right, or on both sides of the hyphens within the header row.

```markdown
| Left-aligned | Center-aligned | Right-aligned |
| :---         |     :---:      |          ---: |
| git status   | git status     | git status    |
| git diff     | git diff       | git diff      |
```

![Screenshot of a Markdown table with three columns as rendered on GitHub, showing how text within cells can be set to align left, center, or right.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/table-aligned-text-rendered.png)

To include a pipe `|` as content within your cell, use a `\` before the pipe:

```markdown
| Name     | Character |
| ---      | ---       |
| Backtick | `         |
| Pipe     | \|        |
```

![Screenshot of a Markdown table as rendered on GitHub showing how pipes, which normally close cells, are shown when prefaced by a backslash.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/table-escaped-character-rendered.png)

# Writing mathematical expressions

Use Markdown to display mathematical expressions on GitHub.

## About writing mathematical expressions

To enable clear communication of mathematical expressions, GitHub supports LaTeX formatted math within Markdown. For more information, see [LaTeX/Mathematics](http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics) in Wikibooks.

GitHub's math rendering capability uses MathJax; an open source, JavaScript-based display engine. MathJax supports a wide range of LaTeX macros, and several useful accessibility extensions. For more information, see [the MathJax documentation](http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/input/tex/index.html#tex-and-latex-support) and [the MathJax Accessibility Extensions Documentation](https://mathjax.github.io/MathJax-a11y/docs/#reader-guide).

Mathematical expressions rendering is available in GitHub Issues, GitHub Discussions, pull requests, wikis, and Markdown files.

## Writing inline expressions

There are two options for delimiting a math expression inline with your text. You can either surround the expression with dollar symbols (`$`), or start the expression with <code>$\`</code> and end it with <code>\`$</code>. The latter syntax is useful when the expression you are writing contains characters that overlap with markdown syntax. For more information, see [Basic writing and formatting syntax](https://docs.github.com/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax).

```text

## Writing expressions as blocks

To add a math expression as a block, start a new line and delimit the expression with two dollar symbols `$$`.

>  [!TIP] If you're writing in an .md file, you will need to use specific formatting to create a line break, such as ending the line with a backslash as shown in the example below. For more information on line breaks in Markdown, see [Basic writing and formatting syntax](https://docs.github.com/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#line-breaks).

```text
**The Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality**\
$$\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)$$
```

Alternatively, you can use the <code>\`\`\`math</code> code block syntax to display a math expression as a block. With this syntax, you don't need to use `$$` delimiters. The following will render the same as above:

````text
**The Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality**

```math
\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)
```
````

## Writing dollar signs in line with and within mathematical expressions

To display a dollar sign as a character in the same line as a mathematical expression, you need to escape the non-delimiter `$` to ensure the line renders correctly.

* Within a math expression, add a `\` symbol before the explicit `$`.

  ```text
  This expression uses `\$` to display a dollar sign: $`\sqrt{\$4}`$
  ```

  ![Screenshot of rendered Markdown showing how a backslash before a dollar sign displays the sign as part of a mathematical expression.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/dollar-sign-within-math-expression.png)

* Outside a math expression, but on the same line, use span tags around the explicit `$`.

  ```text
  To split <span>$</span>100 in half, we calculate $100/2$
  ```

  ![Screenshot of rendered Markdown showing how span tags around a dollar sign display the sign as inline text not as part of a mathematical equation.](https://docs.github.com/assets/images/help/writing/dollar-sign-inline-math-expression.png)
