    About this ebook

    CommonMark Ready Reference provides a full tutorial, hack collection and quick reference for MarkDown and CommonMark.

    MarkDown is an easy human-readable text format that can serve as the common base for exporting to multiple document formats such as HTML, ODF, DOC/DOCX, PDF and ebook (EPUB, MOBI…). It is a great tool for creative writers, technical writers and authors to create books, manuals, web pages and other rich-text content. CommonMark is a new well-formed standard for the old MarkDown spec.

    CommonMark was one of the reasons the author was able to write and design 21 books in one year. Incidentally, this is the first-ever book on CommonMark!

    V. Subhash

    V. Subhash is an invisible Indian writer, programmer and cartoonist. In 2020, he published one of the biggest jokebooks of all time — 2020 FRESH CLEAN JOKES FOR EVERYONE. He followed this jokebook with a tech book on the free multimedia-editing utility FFmpeg and a 400-page volume of 149 political cartoons. Although he had published a few ebooks (using off-the-shelf software) as early as 2003, Subhash did not publish books in the traditional sense until 2020. For over two decades, Subhash had used his website www.VSubhash.com as the main outlet for his writing. During this time, he had accumulated a lot of published and unpublished material. This content and the advanced book-production process that he had developed helped him publish 21 books in his first year. In February 2023, Apress/SpringerNature published his rewritten and updated FFmpeg book as QUICK START GUIDE TO FFMPEG. Thus, by early 2023, Subhash had published 30 books! In 2022, Subhash ran out of non-fiction material and tried his hand at fiction. The result was UNLIKELY STORIES, a collection of horror and comedy short stories. After adding new stories to this fiction title (for its second edition), Subhash plans to pause his writing and move on to other things. Subhash pursues numerous hobbies and interests, several of which have become the subject of his books such as COOL ELECTRONIC PROJECTS, HOW TO INSTALL SOLAR and HOW TO INVEST IN STOCKS. He was inspired to write his jokebook after years of listening to vintage American radio shows such as ‘Fibber & Molly’ and ‘Duffy's Tavern’. For more, check out: www.VSubhash.in

      CommonMark Ready Reference - V. Subhash

      Preface

      Here are a few things you need to know before reading further.

      Naming convention

      I use the word 'markdown' (in lower case) to refer to any MarkDown implementation, dialect or superset including CommonMark. Specifically, MarkDown means the original MarkDown.

      Examples convention

      The CommonMark examples are displayed in a 

      ...
      block. It has a thick left border. The HTML output of the examples will be in
      ...
      blocks. They will be dashed edges.

      Version and dialect

      This book is based on Version 0.30 of CommonMark. It may be superseded by newer versions. Whatever the case, the official documentation that came with the version of CommonMark/Markdown that you use in production will always have more relevance.

      Although the CommonMark information in this book may apply to MarkDown as well, there are subtle differences between the two. The following text to create a heading passes for MarkDown but not for CommonMark.

      #FFMPEG Quick Hacks

      You may be expecting this:

      Expected output

      But, it will not be processed by CommonMark and be output as:

      #FFMPEG Quick Hacks

      What went wrong? Answer: There has to be a space between the hash and the text. The following is valid CommonMark.

      # FFMPEG Quick Hacks

      If something from this book does not work with a markdown processor, you need to refer to its documentation.

      Then, there are features not supported by both MarkDown and CommonMark, such as strikethroughs and tables. This book sticks to the reference implementation and will not bother with extended syntax supported by markdown extensions. However, this book will suggest workarounds for the same kind of output without using such extensions.

      Purpose

      Book announcement

      The paperback version of this book is for those who need a desk-side reference and for those who would like to learn CommonMark (or MarkDown) at leisure. The paperback is black-n-white or grayscale. Only the cover is in colour. Hence, both covers have been designed as quick reference cards for MarkDown/CommonMark. In the annexures, a grayscale version of the quick reference card is available. You can remove the page and make as many photocopies as you want. (Cut the page with a blade or a pair of scissors. Do not tug at it and ruin the binding.)

      If you are on a computer with an Internet connection, there will be plenty of other free alternatives including the official documentation. The ebook version of this book is for people to decide whether it is worth having the paperback on their desk. (The ebook does not include the quick reference card.) The full-colour covers of the paperback is available as a CommonMark/MarkDown cheat sheet or quick reference card on my website. You can print it on a colour printer. Download it for free from:

      MarkDown and CommonMark

      In the beginning, there was text. Then, came markup a la HTML. After that, came MarkDown.

      Before the invention of the WorldWideWeb (WWW), there was Internet. Communication on this pre-WWW Internet was through email, Usenet, and other text-based protocols. To add context to this text messages, some primitive
