This is either the heading or the title when interpreted by GitHub Gist. I don’t recall which. Donec sed odio operae, eu vulputate felis rhoncus. Nihilne te nocturnum praesidium Palati, nihil urbis vigiliae. Quae vero auctorem tractata ab fiducia dicuntur. Quisque placerat facilisis egestas cillum dolore. Paullum deliquit, ponderibus modulisque suis ratio utitur. Plura mihi bona sunt, inclinet, amari petere vellent.
This is a level two heading above a second paragraph of text. Petierunt uti sibi concilium totius Galliae in diem certam indicere. Curabitur blandit tempus ardua ridiculus sed magna. Quid securi etiam tamquam eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Praeterea iter est quasdam res quas ex communi. Quisque ut dolor gravida, placerat libero vel, euismod.
Quis aute iure reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse. Me non paenitet nullum festiviorem excogitasse ad hoc. Tu quoque, Brute, fili mi, nihil timor populi, nihil!
An example of portable C skeleton.
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
// code
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
Me non paenitet nullum festiviorem excogitasse ad hoc. Morbi fringilla convallis sapien, id pulvinar odio volutpat. Petierunt uti sibi concilium totius Galliae in diem certam indicere. Quid securi etiam tamquam eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

Etiam habebis sem dicantur magna mollis euismod. Fictum, deserunt mollit anim laborum astutumque! Ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequat. Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum faucibus. This gist is marked up with org-mode https://orgmode.org
Org-mode is one of the most reasonable markup languages for document preparation. Yes that is basically taken from a blog post about org-mode. Read it here Org-Mode Is One of the Most…
Link syntax is pretty simple, but to avoid encoding issues it is
best to insert links with C-c C-l
, but if you must insert with
markup use [[url]]
for plain URLs and use [[url][description]]
for links
with descriptions.
Paragraphs are separated by at least one empty line. Qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli appellantur.
Use a double backslash \\
at the end of a line to force a line
break. Nihilne te nocturnum praesidium Palati, nihil urbis
vigiliae. Quisque placerat facilisis egestas cillum dolore. Etiam
habebis sem
dicantur magna mollis euismod. Quisque ut dolor gravida, placerat
libero vel, euismod. At nos hinc posthac, sitientis piros
Afros. Vivamus sagittis lacus vel augue laoreet rutrum
faucibus. Excepteur sint obcaecat cupiditat non proident culpa. Hi

Format some poetry. Unfortunately GitHub does not (at this time)
render org-mode’s #+BEGIN_VERSE ... #+END_VERSE
. So the verse
bellow does not even show up on GitHub.
—William Blake
Format a quote.
Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Don’t teach a man to fish and feed yourself. He’s a grown man. And fishing’s not that hard.
—Ron Swanson
Now center some text. Unfortunately GitHub displays the text (at
this time) in a #+BEGIN_CENTER .. #+END_CENTER
block, but it
does not render it centered.
Centered.
Text characters set below or above the line of type for a font/size combination are necessary for technical writing. Subscripts and superscripts are achieved in the same way as in TeX or LaTeX.
The radius of the sun is Rsun = 6.96 × 108 m. On the other hand, the radius of Alpha Centauri is RAlpha Centauri = 1.28 × Rsun.
There are many special symbols and non-Latin alphabets that can be inserted in an org document. The syntax is like TeX or LaTeX too.
Given a circle Γ of diameter d, the length of its
circumference is πd. We can type α as \alpha
, β as
\beta
, and χ as \chi
. If you need a symbol in a word or
formula it can be terminated with a pari of curly braces, so the
previous πd is achived by typing \pi{}d
.
Some other symbols include © as \copy
, \dag as \dag
, and
× as seen in the subscript/superscript section above as
\times
. There’s ± as \pm
or \plusmn
. There’s ½ as
\frac12
and there’s ¾ as \frac34
. There’s x → ∞,
typed as x \to \infin
. Don’t forget the en dash – or the em
dash —, respectively --
and ---
.

or you can
add your own in the variable org-entities-user
