writing markdown in LaTeX by using the markdown package

example.md.txt

# I'm a markdown file.

And I can do *emphasis*.

## With sub-headers

Use 3 dashes for an em-dash. Use 2 dashes for ranges (ex., "it's all
in chapters 12--14"). Three dots ... will be converted to an ellipsis (provided you include the smartEllipses option in your preamble).
Unicode is supported.

## Code blocks

Here's a code sample:

```python
# Let me re-iterate ...
for i in range(10):
  # do sth on i
```

## Lists

Now a nested list:

 1. First, get these ingredients:

      * carrots
      * celery
      * lentils

 2. Boil some water.

 3. Dump everything in the pot and follow
    this algorithm:

        find wooden spoon
        uncover pot
        stir
        cover pot
        balance wooden spoon precariously on pot handle
        wait 10 minutes
        goto first step (or shut off burner when done)

    Do not bump wooden spoon or it will fall.

## Links

Here's a link to [a website](https://liam.page).  And now^[with `markdown` v2.4] you can also use inlined footnotes with `inlineFootnotes`.

## Figures

Here we can reference \textbf{Figure~\ref{fig:exampleimage}}

% Use \setkeys{Gin} if you need to change an image's display size

\setkeys{Gin}{width=.5\linewidth}

![exampleimage](example-image.jpg "An exemplary image")

## Tables

| index | Name |
|-----|-----|
| 1 | Foo |
| 2 | Bar |
| 3 | Baz |

  : \textsc{php}Markdown-style table

## Equations

Inline math equations go in like so: $\omega = d\phi / dt$.

Displaymath can be written as:

\begin{equation}
I = \int \rho R^{2} \mathop{}\!\mathrm{d}V
\end{equation}

You can backslash-escape any punctuation characters
which you wish to be displayed literally, ex.: \`foo\`, \*bar\*, etc.
