Markdown Syntax

FkeMark supports common Markdown syntax and renders most structures close to the final reading result in Live and Read modes.

Quick reference

Type	Example	Usage
Heading	# Heading	Organize article hierarchy
Bold	Important	Emphasize keywords
Italic	Term	Mark tone or terms
Strike	Old text	Mark deprecated content
Quote	> Quote	Notes, excerpts, or tips
Unordered list	- Item	Simple lists
Ordered list	1. Step	Step-by-step flow
Task list	- [x] Done	Checklists
Link	Title	Reference internal or external material
Image	!Alt	Insert screenshots or images
Inline code	const name = 'FkeMark'	Variables, commands, or short code

Code blocks

Use three tildes or backticks, plus a language name:

~~~ts
const mode = 'live'
console.log(mode)
~~~

In the editor, typing ```ts and pressing Enter can also create a code block. Live mode loads syntax highlighting from the language name; choosing text or opening an older plaintext block keeps it plain and saves it as a fence without a language marker.

List line breaks

Keep consecutive list items adjacent; you do not need blank lines between items:

- First item
- Second item
- [x] Done

To finish the list and start a new paragraph, keep one blank line after the whole list.

Tables

| Mode | Best for |
| --- | --- |
| Live | Daily writing |
| Read | Proofreading |
| Source | Precise editing |

For wide tables, split columns or use smaller tables for better reading.

Front Matter and tags

Use YAML Front Matter at the top of a document for metadata:

---
title: Project notes
date: 2026-07-23
tags:
  - markdown
  - fkemark
---

You can also keep lightweight tags in body text with #tag.

Footnotes

This needs a note.[^note]

[^note]: This is the footnote content.

Math

Use inline math for short expressions and block math for standalone formulas:

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

$$
E = mc^2
$$

Writing tips

• Keep one level-one heading per document.
• Use descriptive link text instead of “click here”.
• Add language names to code blocks for highlighting and search.
• Write clear image alt text for reading and archiving.
