## README
# Heading with one hash
A line that starts with one through six hash symbols (`#`) indicates a heading.
## Heading with two hashes
Headings are automatically given a HTML-name (anchor) with lowercase letters and spaces replaced with dashes. The previous heading's name thus is `#heading-with-two-hashes`.
### Heading with three hashes
The headings of the `README.md` files are shown when clicking on the upper left box of the 'document' (see [this image](#images)).
#### Four hashes
##### Five hashes
###### Six hashes
####### Seven hashes
# Normal text:
Normal text can use *stars* (`*text*`) and _underscores_ (`_text_`) and *_both_* (`*_text_*`), yet, both are rendered as italics.
With **double stars** (`**text**`), the text turns bold, with **_double stars and an underscore_** (`**_text_**`) it turns bold and italic.
Text between ~~two tildes~~ (`~~text~~`) is stroken through. This is text `enclosed in back-ticks` (`` `text` ``).
And then, there are also [links](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ReneNyffenegger/about-README.md/master/README.md).
Normal urls (such as https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet) are rendered as links as well.
This seems to be like code.
Text that is indented by at least four whitespaces
is rendered like code.
I wonder, if the following line is
`rendered like code()`
as well? (**It turns out, it's not!**)
But the following line is:
`rendered like code()`
is it not?
## Tables
A table. Note the *right and left alignment* (by means of the *colons*):
|number|english|german |
|-----:|:------|:------|
| 1|one |eins |
| 2|two |two |
| 3|three |drei |
| 10|ten |zehn |
| 20|twenty |zwanzig|
| 100|hundred|hundert|
## Line breaks
A line can be ended\
with a backslash\
which inserts a\
line break.
# Links in Code
Links in *indented* code don't work:
function FooBar(a, b) {
return a + b; // [github](www.github.com)
}
They work with the `
` tag, however:function FooBar(a, b) { return a + b; // github }# Lists ## Unordered (dotted) lists - First item of a list - Second item of a list - first sub item of second item
additional text for first sub item of second item *Note the `
` here*. - second sub item of second item additional text for second sub item of second item *Note the lack of a `
` here*. - third sub item of second item\ additional text for third sub item of second item *Note the `\` here*. - third item ## Numbered lists Numbered lists can be produced 1. The first item Some text that belongs to the first item. 1. Item number two Text that belongs to the second item. More text that belongs to the second item. 1. foo This is foo 1. bar This is bar 1. baz This is baz 1. **Third item** The numbered *headings* can even be rendered in bold using two stars (`**`) # Images Images can be embedded and linked to with `` while `url` can be a relative link within the repository, such as demonstrated below:  # Foldable sections Foldable sections can be created with ``.‥
‥Section 1
The details for *section one* include - foo - bar - baz# Subscript and superscript `text` and `text` produce subscript and superscript text. # Horizontal Lines Three stars `***`, underscores `___` or hyphens `---` produce a --- # Misc Some red text (doesn't work) # Links - [Markdown live demo](http://markdown-here.com/livedemo.html) - [Adam Pritchard's markdown cheatsheet](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet)Section 2
