This is a set of tests for pandoc. Most of them are adapted from John Gruber’s markdown test suite.

Headers

Level 2 with an embedded link

Level 3 with emphasis

Level 4

Level 5

Level 1

Level 2 with emphasis

Level 3

with no blank line

Level 2

with no blank line

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:  \$ \\ \> \[ \{

Multiple definitions, loose:

apple: red fruit; computer
orange: orange fruit; bank

Blank line after term, indented marker, alternate markers:

apple

red fruit

computer

orange

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: a^bcd a^hello a^hello there.

Subscripts: H₂O, H₂₃O, H_{many of them}O.

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….

LaTeX

2 + 2 = 4
x ∈ y
α ∧ ω
223
p-Tree
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 $: $73 this should be emphasized 23$.

Here’s a LaTeX table:

Special Characters

Here is some unicode:

I hat: Î
o umlaut: ö
section: §
set membership: ∈
copyright: ©

AT&T has an ampersand in their name.

AT&T is another way to write it.

This & that.

4 < 5.

6 > 5.

Backslash: \

Backtick: `

Asterisk: *

Underscore: _

Left brace: {

Right brace: }

Left bracket: [

Right bracket: ]

Left paren: (

Right paren: )

Greater-than: >

Hash: #

Period: .

Bang: !

Plus: +

Minus: -

Links

Explicit

Just a URL.

Reference

Foo bar.

With embedded [brackets].

b by itself should be a link.

Indented once.

Indented twice.

Indented thrice.

This should [not][] be a link.

[not]: /url

Foo bar.

Foo biz.

With ampersands

Here’s a link with an ampersand in the URL.

Here’s a link with an amersand in the link text: AT&T.

Here’s an inline link.

Here’s an inline link in pointy braces.

Autolinks

With an ampersand: http://example.com/?foo=1&bar=2

In a list?
http://example.com/
It should.

An e-mail address:

Blockquoted: http://example.com/

Auto-links should not occur here: <http://example.com/>

or here: <http://example.com/>

Images

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

lalune

Here is a movie movie icon.

Footnotes

Here is a footnote reference,¹ and another.² This should not be a footnote reference, because it contains a space.[^my note] Here is an inline note.³

Notes can go in quotes.⁴

And in list items.⁵

This paragraph should not be part of the note, as it is not indented.

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].↩
In quote.↩
In list.↩
