This was our custom, JSON-based syntax for writing rich components alongside plain-text Markdown. To provide seamless backwards-compatibility, the engine ships with a built-in parser for the older format so we can transpile it directly to our new ReadMe-flavored syntax. It is possible to launch Doomsday directly from the command line. If all data files can be found under the default directories, the engine should be able to launch itself without further assistance. If not, command line options must be used to configure data file locations and other settings. Doomsday-iwad (dir) -game (id) -wnd-wh (w h) -file.

The command con connects to another system (typically UNIX); the command rx is rather like the rsh command on UNIX systems, for executing a single command on another machine. If the UNIX system cooperates, it is also possible to mount a UNIX file system in the Plan 9 name space so that files on the UNIX side are accessible from Plan 9.

What is Markdown?
Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; formatting words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like #
or *
.
You can use Markdown most places around GitHub:
- Comments in Issues and Pull Requests
- Files with the
.md
or.markdown
extension
For more information, see “Writing on GitHub” in the GitHub Help.

GitHub Flavored Markdown
GitHub.com uses its own version of the Markdown syntax that provides an additional set of useful features, many of which make it easier to work with content on GitHub.com.
Note that some features of GitHub Flavored Markdown are only available in the descriptions and comments of Issues and Pull Requests. These include @mentions as well as references to SHA-1 hashes, Issues, and Pull Requests. Task Lists are also available in Gist comments and in Gist Markdown files.

Syntax highlighting

You can also simply indent your code by four spaces:

Task Lists
If you include a task list in the first comment of an Issue, you will get a handy progress indicator in your issue list. It also works in Pull Requests!
Tables
Readme File Syntax Python
You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens -
(for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe |
:
Would become:
First Header | Second Header |
---|---|
Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2 |
Content in the first column | Content in the second column |

SHA references
Any reference to a commit’s SHA-1 hash will be automatically converted into a link to that commit on GitHub.

Issue references within a repository
Any number that refers to an Issue or Pull Request will be automatically converted into a link.
Username @mentions
Typing an @
symbol, followed by a username, will notify that person to come and view the comment. This is called an “@mention”, because you’re mentioning the individual. You can also @mention teams within an organization.
Automatic linking for URLs
Any URL (like http://www.github.com/
) will be automatically converted into a clickable link.
Strikethrough
Any word wrapped with two tildes (like ~~this~~
) will appear crossed out.
