Asterisks around a word actually look like *emphasis*.
Markdown's syntax is intended for one purpose: to be used as a format for writing for the web.
Sometimes I want a lot of text to be bold. Like, seriously, a LOT of text
The only restrictions are that block-level HTML elements -- e.g. <div>
,
<table>
, <pre>
, <p>
, etc. -- must be separated from surrounding
content by blank lines, and the start and end tags of the block should
not be indented with tabs or spaces. Markdown is smart enough not
to add extra (unwanted) <p>
tags around HTML block-level tags.
I am #1.
For example, to add an HTML table to a Markdown article:
This is a regular paragraph.
<table>
<tr>
<td>Foo</td>
</tr>
</table>
This is another regular paragraph.
Note that Markdown formatting syntax is not processed within block-level
HTML tags. E.g., you can't use Markdown-style *emphasis*
inside an
HTML block.
Unlike block-level HTML tags, Markdown syntax is processed within span-level tags.
