My math is so rusty that I barely remember the quadratic equation: $-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} \over 2a$

This is just a sample. You can play around with your own text right here.

...is really just ordinary text, plain and simple. How is it good for you?

• You just type naturally, and the result looks good.
• You don't have to worry about clicking formatting buttons.
  • Or fiddling with indentation. (Two spaces is all you need.)

To see what else you can do with Markdown (including tables, images, numbered lists, and more) take a look at the Cheatsheet. And then try it out by typing in this box!

Code can be inline, using backticks. Or it can be in blocks, either with backtick "fences" or with indents of four spaces. (I prefer fences.)

print('You get syntax highlighting...')
print('...if you include the language name')

You can also syntax-highlight some other cool stuff, like file diffs:

- This line got removed
+ This line got added

Math forumlae use TeX. Some examples:

$-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} \over 2a$

$[P(E) = {n \choose k} p^k (1-p)^{ n-k} ]$

$\dot{x} = \sigma(y-x) \ \dot{y} = \rho x - y - xz \ \dot{z} = -\beta z + xy$

$[ \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right) ]$
