Code Spans

`<code>` spans are delimited
by backticks.

You can include literal backticks
like `` `this` ``.

Code Blocks

Indent every line of a code block by at least 4 spaces or 1 tab.

This is a normal paragraph.

    This is a preformatted
    code block.

Code Fences

Use three backticks to fence code blocks for better syntax-highlighting support, but note that this is a Github GFM convention.

```coffeescript
hi = (name) ->
    print "hello #{name}!"

    hi __filename
```

Horizontal Rules

Three or more dashes or asterisks:

---

* * *

- - - - 

Manual Line Breaks

End a line with two or more spaces:

Roses are red,   
Violets are blue.
