Code

Wrap inline code in backticks. Use triple backticks for fenced code blocks, optionally with a language for syntax highlighting.

Run `npm install` to get started.

```typescript
function greet(name: string): string {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

console.log(greet("World"));
```

```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```

Common language identifiers: js, ts, python, bash, sql, json, yaml, html, css, markdown

Tables

Tables are a GFM extension. Use pipes | to separate columns. The second row defines column alignment.

| Name       | Role        | Status   |
|:-----------|:------------|:--------:|
| Alice      | Engineer    | Active   |
| Bob        | Designer    | Active   |
| Carol      | PM          | Away     |

| Item     | Price   |
|:---------|--------:|
| Coffee   |   $3.50 |
| Sandwich |   $8.00 |
| Total    |  $11.50 |

Blockquotes

Use > to create blockquotes. Nest them with multiple > characters.

> This is a blockquote.
> It can span multiple lines.

> **Note:** Blockquotes can contain other markdown.
> - Like lists
> - And **bold text**

> Outer quote
>> Nested quote
>>> Deeply nested

Task Lists

Task lists (checkboxes) are a GFM extension. Use - [ ] for unchecked and - [x] for checked.

- [x] Set up project structure
- [x] Write initial documentation
- [ ] Implement authentication
- [ ] Write tests
- [ ] Deploy to production

Misc

Special characters that need escaping: \ ` * _ { } [ ] ( ) # + - . !

Diagrams (Mermaid)

Mermaid diagrams render as live SVG charts. Wrap diagram code in a fenced code block with the mermaid language tag:

```mermaid
flowchart LR
    A[Start] --> B{Decision}
    B -->|Yes| C[Do it]
    B -->|No| D[Skip]
    C --> E[Done]
    D --> E
```

Math formulas (KaTeX)

Math formulas are written in LaTeX syntax. Use $...$ for inline math and $$...$$ for block (display) math:

Inline: $E = mc^2$ and $\\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i$

Block:
$$
\\int_{-\\infty}^{\\infty} e^{-x^2}\\,dx = \\sqrt{\\pi}
$$

Block formula renders as:
