Returns a Variable for the given ident when found. The model is needed to abstract the right values. ...
Let's face it: Writing content for the Web is tiresome. WYSIWYG editors help alleviate this task, but they generally result in horrible code, or worse yet, ugly web pages.
Markdown is a better way to write HTML, without all the complexities and ugliness that usually accompanies it.
Some of the key benefits are:
John Gruber, the author of Markdown, puts it like this:
The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While Markdown’s syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML filters, the single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown’s syntax is the format of plain text email. -- John Gruber
Grav ships with built-in support for Markdown and Markdown Extra. You must enable Markdown Extra in your system.yaml
configuration file
Without further delay, let us go over the main elements of Markdown and what the resulting HTML looks like:
Bookmark this page for easy future reference!
Headings from h1
through h6
are constructed with a #
for each level:
# h1 Heading
## h2 Heading
### h3 Heading
#### h4 Heading
##### h5 Heading
###### h6 Heading
Renders to:
HTML:
<h1>h1 Heading</h1>
<h2>h2 Heading</h2>
<h3>h3 Heading</h3>
<h4>h4 Heading</h4>
<h5>h5 Heading</h5>
<h6>h6 Heading</h6>
Comments should be HTML compatible
<!--
This is a comment

Comment below should NOT be seen:
The HTML <hr>
element is for creating a "thematic break" between paragraph-level elements. In markdown, you can create a <hr>
with any of the following:
___
: three consecutive underscores---
: three consecutive dashes***
: three consecutive asterisksrenders to:
Body copy written as normal, plain text will be wrapped with <p></p>
tags in the rendered HTML.
So this body copy:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, graecis denique ei vel, at duo primis mandamus. Et legere ocurreret pri, animal tacimates complectitur ad cum. Cu eum inermis inimicus efficiendi. Labore officiis his ex, soluta officiis concludaturque ei qui, vide sensibus vim ad.
renders to this HTML:
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, graecis denique ei vel, at duo primis mandamus. Et legere ocurreret pri, animal tacimates complectitur ad cum. Cu eum inermis inimicus efficiendi. Labore officiis his ex, soluta officiis concludaturque ei qui, vide sensibus vim ad.</p>
For emphasizing a snippet of text with a heavier font-weight.
The following snippet of text is rendered as bold text.
**rendered as bold text**
renders to:
rendered as bold text
and this HTML
<strong>rendered as bold text</strong>
For emphasizing a snippet of text with italics.
The following snippet of text is rendered as italicized text.
_rendered as italicized text_
renders to:
rendered as italicized text
and this HTML:
<em>rendered as italicized text</em>
In GFM (GitHub flavored Markdown) you can do strikethroughs.
~~Strike through this text.~~
Which renders to:
Strike through this text.
HTML:
<del>Strike through this text.</del>
For quoting blocks of content from another source within your document.
Add >
before any text you want to quote.
> **Fusion Drive** combines a hard drive with a flash storage (solid-state drive) and presents it as a single logical volume with the space of both drives combined.
Renders to:
Fusion Drive combines a hard drive with a flash storage (solid-state drive) and presents it as a single logical volume with the space of both drives combined.
and this HTML:
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Fusion Drive</strong> combines a hard drive with a flash storage (solid-state drive) and presents it as a single logical volume with the space of both drives combined.</p>
</blockquote>
Blockquotes can also be nested:
> Donec massa lacus, ultricies a ullamcorper in, fermentum sed augue.
Nunc augue augue, aliquam non hendrerit ac, commodo vel nisi.
>> Sed adipiscing elit vitae augue consectetur a gravida nunc vehicula. Donec auctor
odio non est accumsan facilisis. Aliquam id turpis in dolor tincidunt mollis ac eu diam.
Renders to:
Donec massa lacus, ultricies a ullamcorper in, fermentum sed augue. Nunc augue augue, aliquam non hendrerit ac, commodo vel nisi.
Sed adipiscing elit vitae augue consectetur a gravida nunc vehicula. Donec auctor odio non est accumsan facilisis. Aliquam id turpis in dolor tincidunt mollis ac eu diam.
We have four notice styles and they extend the standard markdown syntax for block quotes. Basically levels of 3 block quote or greater produce notices in 4 colors:
>>> Sed adipiscing elit vitae augue consectetur a gravida nunc vehicula. Donec auctor
odio non est accumsan facilisis. Aliquam id turpis in dolor tincidunt mollis ac eu diam.
Renders to:
Sed adipiscing elit vitae augue consectetur a gravida nunc vehicula. Donec auctor odio non est accumsan facilisis. Aliquam id turpis in dolor tincidunt mollis ac eu diam.
>>>> Sed adipiscing elit vitae augue consectetur a gravida nunc vehicula. Donec auctor
odio non est accumsan facilisis. Aliquam id turpis in dolor tincidunt mollis ac eu diam.
Renders to:

A list of items in which the order of the items does not explicitly matter.
You may use any of the following symbols to denote bullets for each list item:
* valid bullet
- valid bullet
+ valid bullet
For example
+ Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
+ Consectetur adipiscing elit
+ Integer molestie lorem at massa
+ Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
+ Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
- Phasellus iaculis neque
- Purus sodales ultricies
- Vestibulum laoreet porttitor sem
- Ac tristique libero volutpat at
+ Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel
+ Aenean sit amet erat nunc
+ Eget porttitor lorem
Renders to:
And this HTML
<ul>
<li>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</li>
<li>Consectetur adipiscing elit</li>
<li>Integer molestie lorem at massa</li>
<li>Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet</li>
<li>Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
<ul>
<li>Phasellus iaculis neque</li>
<li>Purus sodales ultricies</li>
<li>Vestibulum laoreet porttitor sem</li>
<li>Ac tristique libero volutpat at</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel</li>
<li>Aenean sit amet erat nunc</li>
<li>Eget porttitor lorem</li>
</ul>
A list of items in which the order of items does explicitly matter.
1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
2. Consectetur adipiscing elit
3. Integer molestie lorem at massa
4. Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
5. Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
6. Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel
7. Aenean sit amet erat nunc
8. Eget porttitor lorem
Renders to:
And this HTML:
<ol>
<li>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</li>
<li>Consectetur adipiscing elit</li>
<li>Integer molestie lorem at massa</li>
<li>Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet</li>
<li>Nulla volutpat aliquam velit</li>
<li>Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel</li>
<li>Aenean sit amet erat nunc</li>
<li>Eget porttitor lorem</li>
</ol>
TIP: If you just use 1.
for each number, Markdown will automatically number each item. For example:
1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
1. Consectetur adipiscing elit
1. Integer molestie lorem at massa
1. Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
1. Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
1. Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel
1. Aenean sit amet erat nunc
1. Eget porttitor lorem

Wrap inline snippets of code with `
.
In this example, `<section></section>` should be wrapped as **code**.
Renders to:
In this example, <section></section>
should be wrapped with code.
HTML:
<p>In this example, <code><section></section></code> should be wrapped with <strong>code</strong>.</p>
Or indent several lines of code by at least four spaces, as in:
// Some comments line 1 of code line 2 of code line 3 of code
Renders to:
// Some comments
line 1 of code
line 2 of code
line 3 of code
HTML:
<pre>
<code>
// Some comments
line 1 of code
line 2 of code
line 3 of code
</code>
</pre>
Use "fences" ```
to block in multiple lines of code.
``` markup Sample text here... ```
Sample text here...
HTML:
<pre>
<code>Sample text here...</code>
</pre>
GFM, or "GitHub Flavored Markdown" also supports syntax highlighting. To activate it, simply add the file extension of the language you want to use directly after the first code "fence", ```js
, and syntax highlighting will automatically be applied in the rendered HTML. For example, to apply syntax highlighting to JavaScript code:
```js grunt.initConfig({ assemble: { options: { assets: 'docs/assets', data: 'src/data/*.{json,yml}', helpers: 'src/custom-helpers.js', partials: ['src/partials/**/*.{hbs,md}'] }, pages: { options: { layout: 'default.hbs' }, files: { './': ['src/templates/pages/index.hbs'] } } } }; ```
Renders to:
grunt.initConfig({
assemble: {
options: {
assets: 'docs/assets',
data: 'src/data/*.{json,yml}',
helpers: 'src/custom-helpers.js',
partials: ['src/partials/**/*.{hbs,md}']
},
pages: {
options: {
layout: 'default.hbs'
},
files: {
'./': ['src/templates/pages/index.hbs']
}
}
}
};
Tables are created by adding pipes as dividers between each cell, and by adding a line of dashes (also separated by bars) beneath the header. Note that the pipes do not need to be vertically aligned.
| Option | Description |
| ------ | ----------- |
| data | path to data files to supply the data that will be passed into templates. |
| engine | engine to be used for processing templates. Handlebars is the default. |
| ext | extension to be used for dest files. |
Renders to:
Option | Description |
---|---|
data | path to data files to supply the data that will be passed into templates. |
engine | engine to be used for processing templates. Handlebars is the default. |
ext | extension to be used for dest files. |
And this HTML:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Option</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>data</td>
<td>path to data files to supply the data that will be passed into templates.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>engine</td>
<td>engine to be used for processing templates. Handlebars is the default.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>ext</td>
<td>extension to be used for dest files.</td>
</tr>
</table>
Adding a colon on the right side of the dashes below any heading will right align text for that column.

Named anchors enable you to jump to the specified anchor point on the same page. For example, each of these chapters:
# Table of Contents
* [Chapter 1](#chapter-1)
* [Chapter 2](#chapter-2)
* [Chapter 3](#chapter-3)
will jump to these sections:
## Chapter 1 <a id="chapter-1"></a>
Content for chapter one.
## Chapter 2 <a id="chapter-2"></a>
Content for chapter one.
## Chapter 3 <a id="chapter-3"></a>
Content for chapter one.
NOTE that specific placement of the anchor tag seems to be arbitrary. They are placed inline here since it seems to be unobtrusive, and it works.
An example of the Accordion shortcode is as follows:
[ ui-accordion independent=true open=none]
[ ui-accordion-item title=<code>Record::get_variable(Record,\040Model,\040Ident)\040->\040Optioc<Variable></code>]
##### Description
Returns a Variable for the given ident when found. The model is needed to abstract the right values.
...
[ /ui-accordion-item]
[ /ui-accordion]
Please make sure to delete the space in the template tags above
[ /ui
(needed to make it in the example to prevent from interpreting).
Output:
Spaces in the Accordion Title Tags need to be escaped with \040
To display the Accordion Title as a code, Title Tags need to contain following html tags: <code></code>
You can use the following shortcode-like syntax in your content:
[ TOC] or [ TOC/] or [ toc] or [ toc /]
Please make sure to delete the space in the template tags above
[ TOC]
(needed to make it in the example to prevent from interpreting).
page-toc:

Images have a similar syntax to links but include a preceding exclamation point.
![Minion](http://octodex.github.com/images/minion.png)
or
![Alt text](http://octodex.github.com/images/stormtroopocat.jpg "The Stormtroopocat")
Like links, Images also have a footnote style syntax
![Alt text][id]
With a reference later in the document defining the URL location:
[id]: http://octodex.github.com/images/dojocat.jpg "The Dojocat"
For all our Exolynk App-Icons we use the SAP UI5 Icon font. The use them in this documentation repository please use it as follow:
1) Past the following footer code into the bottom part of you page:
<footer>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://ui5.sap.com/resources/sap/ui/core/themes/base/SAP-icons.css">
<style>
.laptop::before {
font-family: SAP-icons;
content: "\e027";
}
.accelerated::before {
font-family: SAP-icons;
content: "\e0e0";
}
@font-face {
font-family: "ui5-icon-font";
src: url(https://docs.exolynk.com/cdn/SAP-icons.ttf) format("truetype");
}
p.ui5-icon {
font-family: "ui5-icon-font";
}
</style>
</footer>
2) Use the following snippet to add an Icon with html to the markdown page (please make sure to copy the Icon Unicode to display it properly):
<p class="ui5-icon" style="font-size: 4em;" name="wrench"></p>
