Formatting with Markdown


Markdown is a simple and lightweight markup language for text formatting. Unlike Html, it uses individual symbols or short sequences of symbols for tagging. In Calcpad, you can use Markdown in comments optionally, instead of Html. Since it requires an additional parsing step, you can switch it on and off by using the following keywords inside your worksheet:

  #md on - switches Markdown mode on;
  #md off - switches Markdown mode off.

During parsing, the marked text is converted to Html and then passed for further processing. Since this is performed line-by-line, block level formatting like lists, tables, etc. are not fully supported. You can use the following syntax elements:
