Using Markdown format to write web pages

- -

(This text is a copy of the original Markdown syntax page)

- -
-
- -
- - - -
- -

Overview

- -

Philosophy

- -

Markdown is intended to be as easy-to-read and easy-to-write as is feasible.

- -

Readability, however, is emphasized above all else. A Markdown-formatted -document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking -like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While -Markdown’s syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML -filters — including Setext, atx, Textile, reStructuredText, -Grutatext, and EtText — the single biggest source of -inspiration for Markdown’s syntax is the format of plain text email.

- -

To this end, Markdown’s syntax is comprised entirely of punctuation -characters, which punctuation characters have been carefully chosen so -as to look like what they mean. E.g., asterisks around a word actually -look like *emphasis*. Markdown lists look like, well, lists. Even -blockquotes look like quoted passages of text, assuming you’ve ever -used email.

- -

Inline HTML

- -

Markdown’s syntax is intended for one purpose: to be used as a -format for writing for the web.

- -

Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its -syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of -HTML tags. The idea is not to create a syntax that makes it easier -to insert HTML tags. In my opinion, HTML tags are already easy to -insert. The idea for Markdown is to make it easy to read, write, and -edit prose. HTML is a publishing format; Markdown is a writing -format. Thus, Markdown’s formatting syntax only addresses issues that -can be conveyed in plain text.

- -

For any markup that is not covered by Markdown’s syntax, you simply -use HTML itself. There’s no need to preface it or delimit it to -indicate that you’re switching from Markdown to HTML; you just use -the tags.

- -

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.

- -

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.

- -

Span-level HTML tags — e.g. <span>, <cite>, or <del> — can be -used anywhere in a Markdown paragraph, list item, or header. If you -want, you can even use HTML tags instead of Markdown formatting; e.g. if -you’d prefer to use HTML <a> or <img> tags instead of Markdown’s -link or image syntax, go right ahead.

- -

Unlike block-level HTML tags, Markdown syntax is processed within -span-level tags.

- -

Automatic Escaping for Special Characters

- -

In HTML, there are two characters that demand special treatment: < -and &. Left angle brackets are used to start tags; ampersands are -used to denote HTML entities. If you want to use them as literal -characters, you must escape them as entities, e.g. &lt;, and -&amp;.

- -

Ampersands in particular are bedeviling for web writers. If you want to -write about ‘AT&T’, you need to write ‘AT&amp;T’. You even need to -escape ampersands within URLs. Thus, if you want to link to:

- -
http://images.google.com/images?num=30&q=larry+bird
-
- -

you need to encode the URL as:

- -
http://images.google.com/images?num=30&amp;q=larry+bird
-
- -

in your anchor tag href attribute. Needless to say, this is easy to -forget, and is probably the single most common source of HTML validation -errors in otherwise well-marked-up web sites.

- -

Markdown allows you to use these characters naturally, taking care of -all the necessary escaping for you. If you use an ampersand as part of -an HTML entity, it remains unchanged; otherwise it will be translated -into &amp;.

- -

So, if you want to include a copyright symbol in your article, you can write:

- -
&copy;
-
- -

and Markdown will leave it alone. But if you write:

- -
AT&T
-
- -

Markdown will translate it to:

- -
AT&amp;T
-
- -

Similarly, because Markdown supports inline HTML, if you use -angle brackets as delimiters for HTML tags, Markdown will treat them as -such. But if you write:

- -
4 < 5
-
- -

Markdown will translate it to:

- -
4 &lt; 5
-
- -

However, inside Markdown code spans and blocks, angle brackets and -ampersands are always encoded automatically. This makes it easy to use -Markdown to write about HTML code. (As opposed to raw HTML, which is a -terrible format for writing about HTML syntax, because every single < -and & in your example code needs to be escaped.)

- -
- -

Block Elements

- -

Paragraphs and Line Breaks

- -

A paragraph is simply one or more consecutive lines of text, separated -by one or more blank lines. (A blank line is any line that looks like a -blank line — a line containing nothing but spaces or tabs is considered -blank.) Normal paragraphs should not be intended with spaces or tabs.

- -

The implication of the “one or more consecutive lines of text” rule is -that Markdown supports “hard-wrapped” text paragraphs. This differs -significantly from most other text-to-HTML formatters (including Movable -Type’s “Convert Line Breaks” option) which translate every line break -character in a paragraph into a <br /> tag.

- -

When you do want to insert a <br /> break tag using Markdown, you -end a line with two or more spaces, then type return.

- -

Yes, this takes a tad more effort to create a <br />, but a simplistic -“every line break is a <br />” rule wouldn’t work for Markdown. -Markdown’s email-style blockquoting and multi-paragraph list items -work best — and look better — when you format them with hard breaks.

- - - -

Markdown supports two styles of headers, Setext and atx.

- -

Setext-style headers are “underlined” using equal signs (for first-level -headers) and dashes (for second-level headers). For example:

- -
This is an H1
-=============
-
-This is an H2
--------------
-
- -

Any number of underlining =’s or -’s will work.

- -

Atx-style headers use 1-6 hash characters at the start of the line, -corresponding to header levels 1-6. For example:

- -
# This is an H1
-
-## This is an H2
-
-###### This is an H6
-
- -

Optionally, you may “close” atx-style headers. This is purely -cosmetic — you can use this if you think it looks better. The -closing hashes don’t even need to match the number of hashes -used to open the header. (The number of opening hashes -determines the header level.) :

- -
# This is an H1 #
-
-## This is an H2 ##
-
-### This is an H3 ######
-
- -

Blockquotes

- -

Markdown uses email-style > characters for blockquoting. If you’re -familiar with quoting passages of text in an email message, then you -know how to create a blockquote in Markdown. It looks best if you hard -wrap the text and put a > before every line:

- -
> This is a blockquote with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
-> consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus.
-> Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
-> 
-> Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse
-> id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
-
- -

Markdown allows you to be lazy and only put the > before the first -line of a hard-wrapped paragraph:

- -
> This is a blockquote with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,
-consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus.
-Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
-
-> Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit. Suspendisse
-id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
-
- -

Blockquotes can be nested (i.e. a blockquote-in-a-blockquote) by -adding additional levels of >:

- -
> This is the first level of quoting.
->
-> > This is nested blockquote.
->
-> Back to the first level.
-
- -

Blockquotes can contain other Markdown elements, including headers, lists, -and code blocks:

- -
> ## This is a header.
-> 
-> 1.   This is the first list item.
-> 2.   This is the second list item.
-> 
-> Here's some example code:
-> 
->     return shell_exec("echo $input | $markdown_script");
-
- -

Any decent text editor should make email-style quoting easy. For -example, with BBEdit, you can make a selection and choose Increase -Quote Level from the Text menu.

- -

Lists

- -

Markdown supports ordered (numbered) and unordered (bulleted) lists.

- -

Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens — interchangably -— as list markers:

- -
*   Red
-*   Green
-*   Blue
-
- -

is equivalent to:

- -
+   Red
-+   Green
-+   Blue
-
- -

and:

- -
-   Red
--   Green
--   Blue
-
- -

Ordered lists use numbers followed by periods:

- -
1.  Bird
-2.  McHale
-3.  Parish
-
- -

It’s important to note that the actual numbers you use to mark the -list have no effect on the HTML output Markdown produces. The HTML -Markdown produces from the above list is:

- -
<ol>
-<li>Bird</li>
-<li>McHale</li>
-<li>Parish</li>
-</ol>
-
- -

If you instead wrote the list in Markdown like this:

- -
1.  Bird
-1.  McHale
-1.  Parish
-
- -

or even:

- -
3. Bird
-1. McHale
-8. Parish
-
- -

you’d get the exact same HTML output. The point is, if you want to, -you can use ordinal numbers in your ordered Markdown lists, so that -the numbers in your source match the numbers in your published HTML. -But if you want to be lazy, you don’t have to.

- -

If you do use lazy list numbering, however, you should still start the -list with the number 1. At some point in the future, Markdown may support -starting ordered lists at an arbitrary number.

- -

List markers typically start at the left margin, but may be indented by -up to three spaces. List markers must be followed by one or more spaces -or a tab.

- -

To make lists look nice, you can wrap items with hanging indents:

- -
*   Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
-    Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi,
-    viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
-*   Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit.
-    Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
-
- -

But if you want to be lazy, you don’t have to:

- -
*   Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
-Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi,
-viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.
-*   Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit.
-Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
-
- -

If list items are separated by blank lines, Markdown will wrap the -items in <p> tags in the HTML output. For example, this input:

- -
*   Bird
-*   Magic
-
- -

will turn into:

- -
<ul>
-<li>Bird</li>
-<li>Magic</li>
-</ul>
-
- -

But this:

- -
*   Bird
-
-*   Magic
-
- -

will turn into:

- -
<ul>
-<li><p>Bird</p></li>
-<li><p>Magic</p></li>
-</ul>
-
- -

List items may consist of multiple paragraphs. Each subsequent -paragraph in a list item must be intended by either 4 spaces -or one tab:

- -
1.  This is a list item with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor
-    sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit
-    mi posuere lectus.
-
-    Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet
-    vitae, risus. Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum
-    sit amet velit.
-
-2.  Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
-
- -

It looks nice if you indent every line of the subsequent -paragraphs, but here again, Markdown will allow you to be -lazy:

- -
*   This is a list item with two paragraphs.
-
-    This is the second paragraph in the list item. You're
-only required to indent the first line. Lorem ipsum dolor
-sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
-
-*   Another item in the same list.
-
- -

To put a blockquote within a list item, the blockquote’s > -delimiters need to be indented:

- -
*   A list item with a blockquote:
-
-    > This is a blockquote
-    > inside a list item.
-
- -

To put a code block within a list item, the code block needs -to be indented twice — 8 spaces or two tabs:

- -
*   A list item with a code block:
-
-        <code goes here>
-
- -

It’s worth noting that it’s possible to trigger an ordered list by -accident, by writing something like this:

- -
1986. What a great season.
-
- -

In other words, a number-period-space sequence at the beginning of a -line. To avoid this, you can backslash-escape the period:

- -
1986\. What a great season.
-
- -

Code Blocks

- -

Pre-formatted code blocks are used for writing about programming or -markup source code. Rather than forming normal paragraphs, the lines -of a code block are interpreted literally. Markdown wraps a code block -in both <pre> and <code> tags.

- -

To produce a code block in Markdown, simply indent every line of the -block by at least 4 spaces or 1 tab. For example, given this input:

- -
This is a normal paragraph:
-
-    This is a code block.
-
- -

Markdown will generate:

- -
<p>This is a normal paragraph:</p>
-
-<pre><code>This is a code block.
-</code></pre>
-
- -

One level of indentation — 4 spaces or 1 tab — is removed from each -line of the code block. For example, this:

- -
Here is an example of AppleScript:
-
-    tell application "Foo"
-        beep
-    end tell
-
- -

will turn into:

- -
<p>Here is an example of AppleScript:</p>
-
-<pre><code>tell application "Foo"
-    beep
-end tell
-</code></pre>
-
- -

A code block continues until it reaches a line that is not indented -(or the end of the article).

- -

Within a code block, ampersands (&) and angle brackets (< and >) -are automatically converted into HTML entities. This makes it very -easy to include example HTML source code using Markdown — just paste -it and indent it, and Markdown will handle the hassle of encoding the -ampersands and angle brackets. For example, this:

- -
    <div class="footer">
-        &copy; 2004 Foo Corporation
-    </div>
-
- -

will turn into:

- -
<pre><code>&lt;div class="footer"&gt;
-    &amp;copy; 2004 Foo Corporation
-&lt;/div&gt;
-</code></pre>
-
- -

Regular Markdown syntax is not processed within code blocks. E.g., -asterisks are just literal asterisks within a code block. This means -it’s also easy to use Markdown to write about Markdown’s own syntax.

- -

Horizontal Rules

- -

You can produce a horizontal rule tag (<hr />) by placing three or -more hyphens or asterisks on a line by themselves. If you wish, you -may use spaces between the hyphens or asterisks. Each of the following -lines will produce a horizontal rule:

- -
* * *
-
-***
-
-*****
-
-- - -
-
----------------------------------------
-
- -
- -

Span Elements

- - - -

Markdown supports two style of links: inline and reference.

- -

In both styles, the link text is delimited by [square brackets].

- -

To create an inline link, use a set of regular parentheses immediately -after the link text’s closing square bracket. Inside the parentheses, -put the URL where you want the link to point, along with an optional -title for the link, surrounded in quotes. For example:

- -
This is [an example](http://example.com/ "Title") inline link.
-
-[This link](http://example.net/) has no title attribute.
-
- -

Will produce:

- -
<p>This is <a href="http://example.com/" title="Title">
-an example</a> inline link.</p>
-
-<p><a href="http://example.net/">This link</a> has no
-title attribute.</p>
-
- -

If you’re referring to a local resource on the same server, you can -use relative paths:

- -
See my [About](/about/) page for details.
-
- -

Reference-style links use a second set of square brackets, inside -which you place a label of your choosing to identify the link:

- -
This is [an example][id] reference-style link.
-
- -

You can optionally use a space to separate the sets of brackets:

- -
This is [an example] [id] reference-style link.
-
- -

Then, anywhere in the document, you define your link label like this, -on a line by itself:

- -
[id]: http://example.com/  "Optional Title Here"
-
- -

That is:

- -
    -
  • Square brackets containing the link identifier (optionally -indented from the left margin using spaces or tabs);
    • -
  • followed by a colon;
    • -
  • followed by one or more spaces (or tabs);
    • -
  • followed by the URL for the link;
    • -
  • optionally followed by a title attribute for the link, enclosed -in double or single quotes.
    • -
- -

The link URL may, optionally, be surrounded by angle brackets:

- -
[id]: <http://example.com/>  "Optional Title Here"
-
- -

You can put the title attribute on the next line and use extra spaces -or tabs for padding, which tends to look better with longer URLs:

- -
[id]: http://example.com/longish/path/to/resource/here
-    "Optional Title Here"
-
- -

Link definitions are only used for creating links during Markdown -processing, and are stripped from your document in the HTML output.

- -

Link definition names may constist of letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation — but they are not case sensitive. E.g. these two links:

- -
[link text][a]
-[link text][A]
-
- -

are equivalent.

- -

The implicit link name shortcut allows you to omit the name of the -link, in which case the link text itself is used as the name. -Just use an empty set of square brackets — e.g., to link the word -“Google” to the google.com web site, you could simply write:

- -
[Google][]
-
- -

And then define the link:

- -
[Google]: http://google.com/
-
- -

Because link names may contain spaces, this shortcut even works for -multiple words in the link text:

- -
Visit [Daring Fireball][] for more information.
-
- -

And then define the link:

- -
[Daring Fireball]: http://daringfireball.net/
-
- -

Link definitions can be placed anywhere in your Markdown document. I -tend to put them immediately after each paragraph in which they’re -used, but if you want, you can put them all at the end of your -document, sort of like footnotes.

- -

Here’s an example of reference links in action:

- -
I get 10 times more traffic from [Google] [1] than from
-[Yahoo] [2] or [MSN] [3].
-
-  [1]: http://google.com/        "Google"
-  [2]: http://search.yahoo.com/  "Yahoo Search"
-  [3]: http://search.msn.com/    "MSN Search"
-
- -

Using the implicit link name shortcut, you could instead write:

- -
I get 10 times more traffic from [Google][] than from
-[Yahoo][] or [MSN][].
-
-  [google]: http://google.com/        "Google"
-  [yahoo]:  http://search.yahoo.com/  "Yahoo Search"
-  [msn]:    http://search.msn.com/    "MSN Search"
-
- -

Both of the above examples will produce the following HTML output:

- -
<p>I get 10 times more traffic from <a href="http://google.com/"
-title="Google">Google</a> than from
-<a href="http://search.yahoo.com/" title="Yahoo Search">Yahoo</a>
-or <a href="http://search.msn.com/" title="MSN Search">MSN</a>.</p>
-
- -

For comparison, here is the same paragraph written using -Markdown’s inline link style:

- -
I get 10 times more traffic from [Google](http://google.com/ "Google")
-than from [Yahoo](http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search") or
-[MSN](http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search").
-
- -

The point of reference-style links is not that they’re easier to -write. The point is that with reference-style links, your document -source is vastly more readable. Compare the above examples: using -reference-style links, the paragraph itself is only 81 characters -long; with inline-style links, it’s 176 characters; and as raw HTML, -it’s 234 characters. In the raw HTML, there’s more markup than there -is text.

- -

With Markdown’s reference-style links, a source document much more -closely resembles the final output, as rendered in a browser. By -allowing you to move the markup-related metadata out of the paragraph, -you can add links without interrupting the narrative flow of your -prose.

- -

Emphasis

- -

Markdown treats asterisks (*) and underscores (_) as indicators of -emphasis. Text wrapped with one * or _ will be wrapped with an -HTML <em> tag; double *’s or _’s will be wrapped with an HTML -<strong> tag. E.g., this input:

- -
*single asterisks*
-
-_single underscores_
-
-**double asterisks**
-
-__double underscores__
-
- -

will produce:

- -
<em>single asterisks</em>
-
-<em>single underscores</em>
-
-<strong>double asterisks</strong>
-
-<strong>double underscores</strong>
-
- -

You can use whichever style you prefer; the lone restriction is that -the same character must be used to open and close an emphasis span.

- -

Emphasis can be used in the middle of a word:

- -
un*fucking*believable
-
- -

But if you surround an * or _ with spaces, it’ll be treated as a -literal asterisk or underscore.

- -

To produce a literal asterisk or underscore at a position where it -would otherwise be used as an emphasis delimiter, you can backslash -escape it:

- -
\*this text is surrounded by literal asterisks\*
-
- -

Code

- -

To indicate a span of code, wrap it with backtick quotes (`). -Unlike a pre-formatted code block, a code span indicates code within a -normal paragraph. For example:

- -
Use the `printf()` function.
-
- -

will produce:

- -
<p>Use the <code>printf()</code> function.</p>
-
- -

To include a literal backtick character within a code span, you can -backslash escape it:

- -
`There is a literal backtick (\`) here.`
-
- -

Or, if you prefer, you can use multiple backticks as the opening and -closing delimiters:

- -
``There is a literal backtick (`) here.``
-
- -

Both of the previous two examples will produce this:

- -
<p><code>There is a literal backtick (`) here.</code></p>
-
- -

With a code span, ampersands and angle brackets are encoded as HTML -entities automatically, which makes it easy to include example HTML -tags. Markdown will turn this:

- -
Please don't use any `<blink>` tags.
-
- -

into:

- -
<p>Please don't use any <code>&lt;blink&gt;</code> tags.</p>
-
- -

You can write this:

- -
`&#8212;` is the decimal-encoded equivalent of `&mdash;`.
-
- -

to produce:

- -
<p><code>&amp;#8212;</code> is the decimal-encoded
-equivalent of <code>&amp;mdash;</code>.</p>
-
- -

Images

- -

Admittedly, it’s fairly difficult to devise a “natural” syntax for -placing images into a plain text document format.

- -

Markdown uses an image syntax that is intended to resemble the syntax -for links, allowing for two styles: inline and reference.

- -

Inline image syntax looks like this:

- -
![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg)
-
-![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg "Optional title")
-
- -

That is:

- -
    -
  • An exclamation mark: !;
    • -
  • followed by a set of square brackets, containing the alt -attribute text for the image;
    • -
  • followed by a set of parentheses, containing the URL or path to -the image, and an optional title attribute enclosed in double -or single quotes.
    • -
- -

Reference-style image syntax looks like this:

- -
![Alt text][id]
-
- -

Where “id” is the name of a defined image reference. Image references -are defined using syntax identical to link references:

- -
[id]: url/to/image  "Optional title attribute"
-
- -

As of this writing, Markdown has no syntax for specifying the -dimensions of an image; if this is important to you, you can simply -use regular HTML <img> tags.

- -
- -

Miscellaneous

- - - -

Markdown supports a shortcut style for creating “automatic” links for URLs and email addresses: simply surround the URL or email address with angle brackets. What this means is that if you want to show the actual text of a URL or email address, and also have it be a clickable link, you can do this:

- -
<http://example.com/>
-
- -

Markdown will turn this into:

- -
<a href="http://example.com/">http://example.com/</a>
-
- -

Automatic links for email addresses work similarly, except that -Markdown will also perform a bit of randomized decimal and hex -entity-encoding to help obscure your address from address-harvesting -spambots. For example, Markdown will turn this:

- -
<address@example.com>
-
- -

into something like this:

- -
<a href="&#x6D;&#x61;i&#x6C;&#x74;&#x6F;:&#x61;&#x64;&#x64;&#x72;&#x65;
-&#115;&#115;&#64;&#101;&#120;&#x61;&#109;&#x70;&#x6C;e&#x2E;&#99;&#111;
-&#109;">&#x61;&#x64;&#x64;&#x72;&#x65;&#115;&#115;&#64;&#101;&#120;&#x61;
-&#109;&#x70;&#x6C;e&#x2E;&#99;&#111;&#109;</a>
-
- -

which will render in a browser as a clickable link to “address@example.com”.

- -

(This sort of entity-encoding trick will indeed fool many, if not -most, address-harvesting bots, but it definitely won’t fool all of -them. It’s better than nothing, but an address published in this way -will probably eventually start receiving spam.)

- -

Backslash Escapes

- -

Markdown allows you to use backslash escapes to generate literal -characters which would otherwise have special meaning in Markdown’s -formatting syntax. For example, if you wanted to surround a word with -literal asterisks (instead of an HTML <em> tag), you can backslashes -before the asterisks, like this:

- -
\*literal asterisks\*
-
- -

Markdown provides backslash escapes for the following characters:

- -
\   backslash
-`   backtick
-*   asterisk
-_   underscore
-{}  curly braces
-[]  square brackets
-()  parentheses
-#   hash mark
-.   dot
-!   exclamation mark

Uploading a picture

- -

You can upload a picture from your computer to this server, and this picture will be used in various places to represent you. -

For this reason, the best images to use are a close-up of your face, but you can use any image you like. -

The picture must be in JPG or PNG format (ie the names will usually end in .jpg or .png). -

You can get a picture file using one of four methods: - -

    -
  1. Using a digital camera, your photos will most likely already be on your computer in the right format. -
  2. You can use a scanner to scan a printed photograph. Make sure you save it as JPG or PNG format. -
  3. If you're artistic, you might draw a picture using a paint program. -
  4. Lastly, you can "steal" images from the web. http://images.google.com is a superb place to search for images. Once you find one, you can "right-click" on them with the mouse and choose "Save this image..." from the menu (different computers may vary slightly). -

Questions

- -

A good way to help other people think about a subject is to - ask them a question about it. Being asked a good question - can really help us put information together, evaluate our - existing ideas and create new ideas.

- -

Asking questions that are specifically intended to help - others learn is known as Socratic questioning, named - after Socrates in Ancient Greece.

- -

Socratic questions require you to listen very carefully - to the other person to help you judge and phrase your question - in a helpful, constructive, and hopefully non-confrontational way. - -

Here are some examples of such questions:

- - - -

Questions of clarification

- -

Questions that probe assumptions

- -

Questions that probe reasons and evidence

- -

Questions about viewpoints or perspectives

- -

Questions that probe implications and consequences

- - -
-Questions adapted from Paul, R. (1993). Critical Thinking: How To Prepare Students for a Rapidly Changing World: Foundation for Critical Thinking, Santa Rosa, CA. - -

Reading

- -

When reading texts quickly it is often very easy to misunderstand what the - author was trying to say.

- -

To avoid misunderstanding, read their words carefully and try to see things - from the author's point of view.

- -

It can also help to think of what the author has NOT said or left in doubt - - this may help you form questions in your own mind.

Scales

- -

Teachers can create new custom scales to be used in a course for any grading activities.

- -

The name of the scale should be a phrase that identifies it clearly: this will appear - in scale-selection lists, as well as on context-sensitive help buttons.

- -

The scale itself is defined by an ordered list of values, ranging from negative to positive, separated by commas. For example:

- -
- Disappointing, Not good enough, Average, Good, Very good, Excellent! -
- -

Scales should also include a good description of what it means and how it is - expected to be used. This description will appear in help pages for teachers and students.

- -

Finally, there may be one or more "Standard" scales defined on your site by the - system administrator. These will be available in all courses.

Topic/Week summaries

- -

The idea of a topic summary is a very short text to prepare students - for the activities within this topic (or week).

- -

Each summary should be very short so that the course page doesn't become too long.

If you find yourself wanting to say more than a sentence or two then - consider adding a resource to this topic instead (for example, the first activity - might be a page called About This Topic).

Available surveys

Currently, Moodle only offers specific types of surveys (future versions -will enable you to create your own).

The available surveys have been chosen as being particularly useful for -evaluating online learning environments that use a constructivist pedagogy. -They are useful to identify certain trends that may be happening among -your participants. - -(To see a paper where these are used in a detailed analysis, see: -http://dougiamas.com/writing/herdsa2002)

Teachers

- -

This page shows the list of people who are assigned to be - "teachers" in this course (by the system administrator). -

- -

You can use this form to assign a role (title) to each person - such as "Professor", "Tutor", "Assistant" and so on. These - will appear on the site's course listing and also on the - list of participants for your course. If you leave the - role empty then the default word for teacher will be used - (the one you set in the Course Settings page). -

- -

You can also order this list (to put the main teacher at the - top, for example). Simply select numbers from the menus - in the "Order" column. After pressing "Save changes" you will - see the new order. -

- -

A special case occurs if you use select "Hide" - for a teacher. In this case, the teacher will - NOT BE SHOWN on the course listings or the list of - participants. They will be "hidden" from students - (unless they post messages to the forums etc). -

- -

You can also choose whether a teacher should have editing rights - on the course. Non-editing teachers could be thought of as course - tutors. They are: -

    -
  1. not able to change the structure of the course
    2. -
  2. not able to enroll or unenroll students -
  3. able to grade
    4. -
  4. able to facilitate within activities
    5. -
- When assigned to a group, they are only able to perform - task 3 and 4 with that group. -

Upload users

- -

Firstly, note that it is usually not necessary to import users in bulk - to keep your own maintenance work down you should first explore forms of authentication that do not require manual maintenance, such as connecting to existing external databases or letting the users create their own accounts. See the Authentication section in the admin menus.

-

If you are sure you want to import multiple user accounts from a text file, then you need to format your text file as follows:

- - - - -

Here is an example of a valid import file:

-

Writing pages using Wiki-like formatting

- -

- Wiki formatted pages provide a facility for marking up plain text with intuitive, human readable - formatting that will be converted to XHTML when displayed. The big advantages are that you - do not need to learn HTML to produce quite complex results, and that the text you write - looks good to the eye even before conversion. It is a real alternative to - saving Word files as HTML retaining the ability to edit the resource online. -

- -

You should enter basically plain text. There are a number of special characters you -can add to insert formatting

- -

Block level formatting

- -

- Paragraph blocks are separated by at least one blank line. To add special formatting to a paragraph - add one of the following special characters in the first character of the first line of the block followed - by a space... -

- - - - - - - - - - -
CharacterBlock Type
No characterOrdinary paragraph
>Quotation
SpacePreformatted Text (Monospaced)
%Preformatted and Wikki formatting is ignored
!#Heading - where # is 1-6, the heading level (1 is biggest)
Q.Question - styling info added to paragraph to improve question/answer presentation (in theme)
A.Answer - as above but answer
- -

List Formatting

- -

Simple lists can be constructed easily by placing a special character at the start of each line in the list followed by a space. -The list is terminated by a blank line. Lists may be freely nested - and nested lists may change list type. Definition list -definitions and text types may be freely intermixed to obtain the desired effect. The special characters -are as follows...

- - - - - - - -
CharacterList item type
*Unordered List (bullet points)
#Ordered List (1,2,3 etc)
:Definition list, definition
;Definition list, text
- -

Nested lists example:

-

-  * First Bullet
-  * Second Bullet
-  ## nested line 1
-  ## nested line 2
-  * Third Bullet
-

-

Inline formatting

- -

Inline formmating allows part of a line to be marked as having a particular style. The special -characters used can appear anywhere on a line, but note that the formatting cannot -cross lines. Codes are as follows...

- - - - - - - - - - - - -
ExampleExampleFormatting
*hello world*hello worldStrong or Bold
/hello world/hello worldEmphasis or Italics
+hello world+hello worldInserted text
-hello world-hello worldDeleted or Strikethrough
hello ~world~hello worldSubscript
hello ^world^hello worldSuperscript
"hello world"“hello world”Quoted
%hello world%hello worldCode or Monospaced
@hello world@hello worldCite
- -

Acronyms

- -

Acronym tagging is acheived by placing the acronym in capital letters followed by the description -is parenthesis. There must be no space between the acronym and the parenthesis. Example...

- -

HTML(Hypertext Markup Language)
HTML

- -

Hyper Links

- -

Links can be placed in the text and are followed (with no spaces) by the text to be displayed in brackets. Example: http://www.google.com/(Search Now) will be converted to -Search Now.

- -

Mail links can be acheived the same way, e.g.,

-

nobody@example.com(Test User) will be converted to -Test User

- -

Moodle Module Links

- -

If you know the Moodle id number (look for ?id=nn at the end of a module address) and -the module name, you can link directly to that resource using the syntax:

- -

ModuleName:nn(Description Text)

-

eg, resource:36(My New Page) forum:10(Jump to forum)

- -

Moodle Picture Links

- -

Inline graphics can be placed on wiki pages. You need to upload the graphic and note its path within the file upload area. The syntax is:

- -

/..path to file..(alt text)

- -

for example, /mypics/graphic.jpg(Staff picture)

- -

Moodle File Links

- -

Very like Picture Links (above), this feature enables links to previously uploaded -files to be placed in a wiki page. The syntax is:

- -

file:..path to file(link text)

- -

for example, file:/pdfs/moodle.pdf(Information About Moodle)

- -

Automatic reformating

- -

Many commonly used functions are converted into their XHTML equivalents automatically.. The main ones are as -follows...

- - - -

Spelling Checker (Experimental)

- -

The wiki formatter can be switched into a spell checking mode. Place the following on -a line by itself in the text. Everything after this will be checked... - -

-!SPELL:language_code:language_variant
-
-Examples:
-!SPELL:en:british
-!SPELL:sp
-
- -

"language_code" should be replaced by the appropriate code (e.g., EN, FR etc), "language_variant" (along with the colon) is optional and can be one of "american", "british", or "canadian" if the language code is EN.

- -

When displayed any unknown words are highlighted and you can see suggestions by holding the mouse over -the word

- -

NOTE: spelling uses the pspell libraries. These and the required dictionaries must be present on your server for the spell checker to work. In particular the Windows platform is not supported. -

Writing

- -

When writing text for others to read, try and write directly to your audience.

- -

Explain your ideas as clearly and simply as you can to help avoid misunderstandings. - One thing you can do is to avoid long words when a short one will do.

- -

In the forums it will really help to keep your whole posts short and on-topic. - Instead of one long rambling post that makes many different points, it may be - better to write several shorter ones (they may even belong in separate forums). - -

Re-edit your text as much as necessary until you get it right. - Even in forum posts you have maxeditingtime/60) ?> minutes - after you've posted it to go back and improve it if necessary.

- -

When replying to others, try and think of interesting questions you - can ask them. This will help both you and the other person think (and learn!) - about the subject you are discussing.
