Using Markdown

Hint: To understand why Markdown is awesome, read Do you use Markdown to store your content?

You can use https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/wiki/Markdown-Cheatsheet for a complete guide to generic Markdown.

Have a look at our Example Rule + Markdown Cheatsheet for specific elements on SSW Rules.

You can add images, tables, and video, according to Markdown formatting. Below are some of the basics to give you a head start.

Headings:

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5
###### Heading 6

Links:

[I'm an inline-style link](https://www.google.com)

[I'm an inline-style link with title](https://www.google.com "Google's Homepage")`

Tables:

Colons can be used to align columns.
| Tables        | Are           | Cool  |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| col 3 is      | right-aligned | 600 |
| col 2 is      | centered      |   2 |
| zebra stripes | are neat      |     |

See the examples on the sample rule

All images have borders on SSW.Rules, but in some cases it might look better without a border. To add image with no border, use the no-border fenced block

::: no-border

SSW fenced blocks

SSW has created some fenced blocks that you can use to make your rules even better.

Check them out on this sample page.

Warnings

Spaces in blank/new line after tags:

Please ensure to check carefully that there's no extra spaces in a blank/new line after tags, otherwise the build will break and throw an out-of-memory error. Figure: Remove extra spaces in a blank/new line after tags

Use consecutive greyboxes containing bolded text with caution... Make sure there are 2 empty lines between consecutive greyboxes (with bolded text), otherwise the build will break and throw an out-of-memory error.
