Markdown Style Guide

This guide demonstrates every Markdown style supported by Margin. Use it as your writing reference.

Headings

H2 through H6 are styled. Don't use H1 in the body — the post title is already H1.

This is H3

This is H4

This is H5 — uppercase mono label

This is H6 — even smaller uppercase

Text formatting

You can write bold text, italic text, bold italic, strikethrough text, and inline code.

Press Ctrl + K to search. You can also ==highlight== text (if your markdown processor supports it).

Links are styled with the accent color: visit the homepage or GitHub.

Blockquotes

This is a blockquote. The left border uses the accent color. It works well for pull quotes or notable passages.

Blockquotes can span multiple paragraphs.

Nested blockquotes are also supported:

This is a second-level quote. The accent bar is still visible.

Lists

Unordered

• First item with a custom accent dot
• Second item
• Third item with a longer line to demonstrate wrapping behavior across multiple lines

Ordered

1. Step one — notice the numbered badge
2. Step two
3. Step three

Task list

• Set up the theme
• Configure content mode
• Write your first post
• Deploy to Cloudflare

Nested

• Top level item
  • Nested child
    • Deeply nested
  • Another child
• Back to top

Code blocks

// Language label appears in the top-right corner
function fibonacci(n) {
  if (n <= 1) return n;
  const cache = [0, 1];
  for (let i = 2; i <= n; i++) {
    cache[i] = cache[i - 1] + cache[i - 2];
  }
  return cache[n];
}

console.log(fibonacci(10)); // 55

def quicksort(arr):
    if len(arr) <= 1:
        return arr
    pivot = arr[len(arr) // 2]
    left = [x for x in arr if x < pivot]
    middle = [x for x in arr if x == pivot]
    right = [x for x in arr if x > pivot]
    return quicksort(left) + middle + quicksort(right)

# Plain shell
npm run build
wrangler pages deploy dist --project-name=my-site

No language specified works too:

Plain text code block.
No syntax highlighting, but still styled.

Definition lists

Term : A word or phrase being defined.

Another term : You can stack multiple definitions. : Each one gets its own line.

Inline elements

H2O is a chemical formula. E = mc^2^ is physics. You can use _subscript and ^superscript directly.

That is everything. Start writing.
