2.2. Code Fencing and Highlighting

Notes:

• We can make block code fences without need to be idented

• lang is optional to specify the language of the code; if not specified, the app won't highlight the code;

• We need one empty line before

Syntaxes

This is a fenced code block.
```

***Syntaxes***

    This is another fenced code block.

***Showcases***

This is a fenced code block.

~~~
No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting.
s = "There is no highlighting for this."
But let's throw in a <b>tag</b>.
~~~


***Showcases*** (`javascript`)

```javascript
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);

Showcases (python)

def function():
    #indenting works just fine in the fenced code block
    s = "Python syntax highlighting"
    print s

Showcases (ruby)

require 'redcarpet'
markdown = Redcarpet.new("Hello World!")
puts markdown.to_html

2.3. Tables

Notes:

• we can set alignment in table with a colon (:)

• we can add formatting text, links, code and HTML character code, but not: heading, headings, blockquotes, lists, horizontal rules, images, HTML tags, or fenced code
