Code Blocks

Inline Code Block

Inline `code` has `back-ticks around` it.

Blocks of Code

```javascript
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
```
 
```python
s = "Python syntax highlighting"
print s
```
 
```
No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting. 
But let's throw in a tag.
```

Tables

There must be at least 3 dashes separating each header cell. The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the raw Markdown line up prettily.

| Heading 1 | Heading 2 | Heading 3 |
|---|---|---|
| col1 | col2 | col3 |
| col1 | col2 | col3 |

Task list

To create a task list start line with square brackets with an empty space. Ex: [ ] and add text for task. To check the task replace the space between the bracket with "x".

[x] Write the post
[ ] Update the website
[ ] Contact the user

Extra Features

on top of the original markdown syntax, mx supports a few extra features that make it more powerful and expressive. let's see them in action.

Custom CSS and JS

you can add custom css and js to the markdown file by adding them right in the markdown file. for example, you can add a custom css file like this:

/* custom.css */
body {
  background-color: #f0f0f0;
}

h1 {
  color: red;
}

a usual mardown renderer will just display this as a code block, but mx will intelligently exclude the codeblock from output and instead include the css as a header level style.

Custom HTML

you can add custom html to the markdown file by adding them right in the markdown file. for example, you can add a custom html like this:
