Markdown
========

This is a first level header.

Header Level
------------

This is a second level header.

### Third Level Header

You can also just use the hashes syntax instead of the underlines with dashes
or equals signs. Add more hashes for deeper nesting.

Paragraphs
----------

To add a paragraph simply write some text and then add two newlines to separate
this paragraph from another one.

Like this. Note that it is useful to use hard line wrapping. The alternative,
soft wrapping, is when your editor wraps the lines only visually. Consider
using your editor to automatically re-wrap paragraphs for you.

Emphasis
--------

You can emphasize like this:

- *italics* or _italics_
- **bold** or __bold__
- ~~strike-through~~
- `verbatim`

Quoting
-------

> This is a block quote.
>
> And another paragraph.

Lists
-----

- list
- are
- very
- simple

1.  ordered
1.  is also
1.  possible

-   this is a list item

    with another paragraph

Hyperlinks
----------

You can find the complete **pandoc** Markdown documentation
[here](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#pandocs-markdown).

You can also structure this a bit more [differently][pandoc] and provide the
list of links later or at the end of the file.

Footnotes
---------

You can footnotes to your text like this.[^1]

[^1]: This looks just like hyperlinks!

Bibliography
------------

This one is often cited [see @WatsonCrick1953].

Syntax Highlighting
-------------------

This is a verbatim text block, also called fenced code block:

```
This is a so-called fenced block.
Everything inside will be translated verbatim.
No **emphasis** works here.
A fixed-width font is used to display these blocks.
```

This code block has no syntax highlighting. To enable syntax highlighting, add
the language to the starting fence:

```r
# you can also add code blocks with syntax highlighting
# this is an R code snippet
# specify the language at the starting fence

# using fread is much faster
library(data.table)
table <- fread('example.csv')

# than using read.csv
table <- read.csv('example.csv')
```

Tables
------

| header 1 | header 2 | header 3 |
| -------- | :------: | -------: |
| left     | centered |   424242 |
| aligned  | content  |       42 |

LaTeX if you need it
--------------------

As you can see, Markdown is very simple. If you need more advanced
type-setting, you can always fall back to using \LaTeX. You can use inline
formulas like $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$. You can also use them standalone:

$$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$

You can do the same with tables and pretty much else.
