As Kanye West said:

I think you should use an
<addr>
element here instead.
Here is a footnote reference,1 and another.2
Here is an inline note.^[Inlines notes are easier to write, since you don’t have to pick an identifier and move down to type the note.]
Use the katex
liquid tag for LaTeX math equations like so:
{ % katex % }
\Gamma(z) = \int_0^1\infty t^{z-1}e^{-t}dt\,.
{ % endkatex % }
If you want the equation to be rendered in display mode (on its own line, centered, large symbols), just pass in the display
parameter:
{ % katex display % }
\Gamma(z) = \int_0^1\infty t^{z-1}e^{-t}dt\,.
{ % endkatex % }
{ % katex % }
c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}
{ % endkatex % }
{ % katex display % }
c = \pm\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}
{ % endkatex % }

Bob--x Alice: I am good thanks!
Bob-x John: I am good thanks!
Note right of John: Bob thinks a long<br/>long time, so long<br/>that the text does<br/>not fit on a row.
Bob-->Alice: Checking with John...
Alice->John: Yes... John, how are you?

GitHub.com uses its own version of the Markdown syntax that provides an additional set of useful features, many of which make it easier to work with content on GitHub.com.
Note that some features of GitHub Flavored Markdown are only available in the descriptions and comments of Issues and Pull Requests. These include @mentions as well as references to SHA-1 hashes, Issues, and Pull Requests. Task Lists are also available in Gist comments and in Gist Markdown files.
Here’s an example of how you can use syntax highlighting with GitHub Flavored Markdown:
```javascript
function fancyAlert(arg) {
if(arg) {
$.facebox({div:'#foo'})
}
}
`` `
You can also simply indent your code by four spaces:
function fancyAlert(arg) {
if(arg) {
$.facebox({div:'#foo'})
}
}
Here’s an example of Python code without syntax highlighting:
def foo():
if not bar:
return True
- [x] @mentions, #refs, [links](), **formatting**, and <del>tags</del> supported
- [x] list syntax required (any unordered or ordered list supported)
- [x] this is a complete item
- [ ] this is an incomplete item
If you include a task list in the first comment of an Issue, you will get a handy progress indicator in your issue list. It also works in Pull Requests!
You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens - (for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe |:
First Header | Second Header
------------ | -------------
Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2
Content in the first column | Content in the second column
Any reference to a commit’s SHA-1 hash will be automatically converted into a link to that commit on GitHub.

Any number that refers to an Issue or Pull Request will be automatically converted into a link.

Typing an @
symbol, followed by a username, will notify that person to come and view the comment. This is called an @mention
, because you’re mentioning the individual. You can also @mention teams within an organization.
Any URL (like http://www.github.com/) will be automatically converted into a clickable link.
Any word wrapped with two tildes (like ~~this~~
this) will appear crossed out.
