Gemtext
All different types of markup should be separated by a blank line. e.g. there should be a line between a paragraph and links, links and headings, etc. Much of this is similar, but not the same, as markdown.
Headings
A heading is preceded by either one, two, or three hashes, with one being the most prominent, and a space before the text.
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
Text
A paragraph is one or more lines with no blank lines between them.
This is a very long line that would turn into it's own paragraph, even if it went forever and was still all on one line.
This is NOT a very long line.
BUT
it would still turn into it's own paragraph,
even if it had a billion lines, since each
of these lines are not separated by a blank
line.
The last paragraph would render as a paragraph including the line breaks, e.g.
<p>
This is NOT a very long line.<br/>BUT<br/>it would still turn into it's own paragraph,<br/>even if it had a billion lines, since each<br/>of these lines are not separated by a blank<br/>line.
</p>
Links
Links are comprised of the => symbol, the link, and an optional human-friendly label.
=> http://example.com
=> http://www.zombo.com The best website in the world
Lists
List items are preceded by asterisks.
* One axle
* Six wagon wheels
* Five rations
Blockquotes
Blockquotes are preceded by > and must be on a single line.
> This is an example of a blockquote.
Preformatted/Code Blocks
Three backticks precede and succeed a block of preformatted text. Anything within this block will not be rendered as gemtext, but as raw text.
```
# This could be some code or something
#!/bin/sh
echo "hooray!"
```
