+## Getting the Gist of Markdown's Formatting Syntax
+
+This page offers a brief overview of what it's like to use Markdown.
+The {s}[syntax page] provides complete, detailed documentation for
+every feature, but Markdown should be very easy to pick up simply by
+looking at a few examples of it in action. The examples on this page
+are written in a before/after style, showing example syntax and the
+HTML output produced by Markdown.
+
+It's also helpful to simply try Markdown out; the {d}[Dingus] is a
+web application that allows you type your own Markdown-formatted text
+and translate it to XHTML.
+
+NOTE: This document is itself written using Markdown; you
+can {src}[see the source for it by adding \'.text' to the URL].
+
+### Paragraphs, Headers, Blockquotes
+
+A paragraph is simply one or more consecutive lines of text, separated
+by one or more blank lines. (A blank line is any line that looks like a
+blank line -- a line containing nothing spaces or tabs is considered
+blank.) Normal paragraphs should not be intended with spaces or tabs.
+
+Markdown offers two styles of headers: _Setext_ and _atx_.
+Setext-style headers for +<h1>+ and +<h2>+ are created by
+"underlining" with equal signs (+=+) and hyphens (+-+), respectively.
+To create an atx-style header, you put 1-6 hash marks (+#+) at the
+beginning of the line -- the number of hashes equals the resulting
+HTML header level.
+
+Blockquotes are indicated using email-style \'+>+' angle brackets.
+
+.Markdown:
+[listing]
+....
+A First Level Header
+====================
+
+A Second Level Header
+---------------------
+
+Now is the time for all good men to come to
+the aid of their country. This is just a
+regular paragraph.
+
+The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
+dog's back.
+
+### Header 3
+
+> This is a blockquote.
+> 
+> This is the second paragraph in the blockquote.
+>
+> ## This is an H2 in a blockquote
+....
+
+.Output:
+....
+<h1>A First Level Header</h1>
+
+<h2>A Second Level Header</h2>
+
+<p>Now is the time for all good men to come to
+the aid of their country. This is just a
+regular paragraph.</p>
+
+<p>The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy
+dog's back.</p>
+
+<h3>Header 3</h3>
+
+<blockquote>
+    <p>This is a blockquote.</p>
+    
+    <p>This is the second paragraph in the blockquote.</p>
+    
+    <h2>This is an H2 in a blockquote</h2>
+</blockquote>
+....
+
+### Phrase Emphasis
+
+Markdown uses asterisks and underscores to indicate spans of emphasis.
+
+.Markdown:
+----
+Some of these words *are emphasized*.
+Some of these words _are emphasized also_.
+
+Use two asterisks for **strong emphasis**.
+Or, if you prefer, __use two underscores instead__.
+----
+
+.Output:
+....
+<p>Some of these words <em>are emphasized</em>.
+Some of these words <em>are emphasized also</em>.</p>
+
+<p>Use two asterisks for <strong>strong emphasis</strong>.
+Or, if you prefer, <strong>use two underscores instead</strong>.</p>
+....
+
+### Lists
+
+Unordered (bulleted) lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens (+*+,
++++, and +-+) as list markers. These three markers are
+interchangable; this:
+
+----
+*   Candy.
+*   Gum.
+*   Booze.
+----
+
+this:
+
+----
++   Candy.
++   Gum.
++   Booze.
+----
+
+and this:
+
+----
+-   Candy.
+-   Gum.
+-   Booze.
+----
+
+all produce the same output:
+
+....
+<ul>
+<li>Candy.</li>
+<li>Gum.</li>
+<li>Booze.</li>
+</ul>
+....
+
+Ordered (numbered) lists use regular numbers, followed by periods, as
+list markers:
+
+----
+1.  Red
+2.  Green
+3.  Blue
+----
+
+.Output:
+....
+<ol>
+<li>Red</li>
+<li>Green</li>
+<li>Blue</li>
+</ol>
+....
+
+If you put blank lines between items, you'll get +<p>+ tags for the
+list item text. You can create multi-paragraph list items by indenting
+the paragraphs by 4 spaces or 1 tab:
+
+----
+*   A list item.
+
+    With multiple paragraphs.
+
+*   Another item in the list.
+----
+
+.Output:
+....
+<ul>
+<li><p>A list item.</p>
+<p>With multiple paragraphs.</p></li>
+<li><p>Another item in the list.</p></li>
+</ul>
+....
+
+### Links
+
+Markdown supports two styles for creating links: _inline_ and
+_reference_. With both styles, you use square brackets to delimit the
+text you want to turn into a link.
+
+Inline-style links use parentheses immediately after the link text.
+For example:
+
+----
+This is an [example link](http://example.com/).
+----
+
+.Output:
+....
+<p>This is an <a href="http://example.com/">
+example link</a>.</p>
+....
+
+Optionally, you may include a title attribute in the parentheses:
+
+----
+This is an [example link](http://example.com/ "With a Title").
+----
+
+.Output:
+....
+<p>This is an <a href="http://example.com/" title="With a Title">
+example link</a>.</p>
+....
+
+Reference-style links allow you to refer to your links by names, which
+you define elsewhere in your document:
+
+----
+I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][1] than from
+[Yahoo][2] or [MSN][3].
+
+[1]: http://google.com/        "Google"
+[2]: http://search.yahoo.com/  "Yahoo Search"
+[3]: http://search.msn.com/    "MSN Search"
+----
+
+.Output:
+....
+<p>I get 10 times more traffic from <a href="http://google.com/"
+title="Google">Google</a> than from <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/"
+title="Yahoo Search">Yahoo</a> or <a href="http://search.msn.com/"
+title="MSN Search">MSN</a>.</p>
+....
+
+The title attribute is optional. Link names may contain letters,
+numbers and spaces, but are _not_ case sensitive:
+
+----
+I start my morning with a cup of coffee and
+[The New York Times][NY Times].
+
+[ny times]: http://www.nytimes.com/
+----
+
+.Output:
+....
+<p>I start my morning with a cup of coffee and
+<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/">The New York Times</a>.</p>
+....
+
+### Images
+
+Image syntax is very much like link syntax.
+
+.Inline (titles are optional):
+----
+![alt text](/path/to/img.jpg "Title")
+----
+
+.Reference-style:
+----
+![alt text][id]
+
+[id]: /path/to/img.jpg "Title"
+----
+
+Both of the above examples produce the same output:
+
+....
+<img src="/path/to/img.jpg" alt="alt text" title="Title" />
+....
+
+### Code
+
+In a regular paragraph, you can create code span by wrapping text in
+backtick quotes. Any ampersands (+&+) and angle brackets (+<+ or
++>+) will automatically be translated into HTML entities. This makes
+it easy to use Markdown to write about HTML example code:
+
+----
+I strongly recommend against using any `<blink>` tags.
+
+I wish SmartyPants used named entities like `&mdash;`
+instead of decimal-encoded entites like `&#8212;`.
+----
+
+.Output:
+....
+<p>I strongly recommend against using any
+<code>&lt;blink&gt;</code> tags.</p>
+
+<p>I wish SmartyPants used named entities like
+<code>&amp;mdash;</code> instead of decimal-encoded
+entites like <code>&amp;#8212;</code>.</p>
+....
+
+To specify an entire block of pre-formatted code, indent every line of
+the block by 4 spaces or 1 tab. Just like with code spans, +&+, +<+,
+and +>+ characters will be escaped automatically.
+
+.Markdown:
+----
+If you want your page to validate under XHTML 1.0 Strict,
+you've got to put paragraph tags in your blockquotes:
+
+    <blockquote>
+        <p>For example.</p>
+    </blockquote>
+----
+
+.Output:
+....
+<p>If you want your page to validate under XHTML 1.0 Strict,
+you've got to put paragraph tags in your blockquotes:</p>
+
+<pre><code>&lt;blockquote&gt;
+    &lt;p&gt;For example.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+</code></pre>
+....
