“installation.” Arbitrary sections will be shown below the built-in sections outlined above.
A brief Markdown Example
Ordered list:
- Some feature
- Another feature
- Something else about the plugin
Unordered list:
- something
- something else
- third thing
Here’s a link to WordPress and one to Markdown’s Syntax Documentation.
Titles are optional, naturally.
Markdown uses email style notation for blockquotes and I’ve been told:
Asterisks for emphasis. Double it up for strong.
<?php code(); // goes in backticks ?>
