* If you want to know about original PHP Markdown Extra, see the <http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/extra/>.

### Definition List (dl) ###

 Pair of a term and a sentence which starts with `:` symbol is parsed
as *Definition List.*


	Mandarin
	: Orange and sweet-sour.
	
	Apple
	: Red and sweet.

>Mandarin
>: Orange and sweet-sour.
>
>Apple
>: Red and sweet.

 You can use multiple terms, multiple sentences, or both. 

	Mandarin
	: Orange.
	: Sweet-sour.

	Apple
	Ringo
	: Red and sweet.

>Mandarin
>: Orange.
>: Sweet-sour.
>
>Apple
>Ringo
>: Red and sweet.

 And that, you can make sentences a paragraph element by blank-line, and you can
append any block-level elements after the paragraph by indent.

	Mandarin
	
	: Orange and sweet-sour. Used for juice.
	
	Apple
	
	: Has these features.
	
		* Sweet
		* Red and globular


>Mandarin
>
>: Orange and sweet-sour. Used for juice.
>
>Apple
>
>: Has these features.
>
>		* Sweet
>		* Red and globular



### Footnote ###

 Such as that text, parsed as *footnote*.

	That's some text with a footnote.[^1]
	
	[^1]: And that's the footnote.

>That's some text with a footnote.[^1]

[^1]: And that's the footnote.

 Definition of footnote can be in any places.

 And that, instead of number, any ids. 

	That's some text with a footnote.[^ex-fn]
	
	[^ex-fn]: And that's the footnote.


### Header-id attribute ###

 You can add header-id attribute.

	Recipe {#recipe}
	----
	
	See the section of [Recipe](#recipe).

~

	## Recipe ## {#recipe}
	----
	
	See the section of [Recipe](#recipe).

>Recipe {#recipe}
>----
>
>See the section of [Recipe](#recipe).

 Be careful, *any character except line-break (LF) is NOT allowed after id.*


### Fenced Code Block ###

	~~~
	 A range from a line which starts with three or more tildes (~) to another
	line same as it is parsed as code-block.
	~~~

>~~~
> A range from a line which starts with three or more tildes (~) to another
>line same as it is parsed as code-block.
>~~~



### Table ###

 Cells separated pipe-symbol ( `\|` ) are parsed as table. 1st line is headers.
2nd line is separators. And 3rd or later line is data.

	|Name    |Color      |Number|
	|--------|-----------|------|
	|Apple   |Red        |     8|
	|Mandarin|Orange     |    32|

>|Name    |Color      |Number|
>|--------|-----------|------|
>|Apple   |Red        |     8|
>|Mandarin|Orange     |    32|

 Right borders and spaces is optional.

	|Name    |Color      |Number
	|--------|-----------|------
	|Apple   |Red        |8
	|Mandarin|Orange     |32

	|Name|Color|Number|
	|-|-|-|
	|Apple|Red|8|
	|Mandarin|Orange|32|

 But, be careful, *left borders is NOT optional.* This behavior differs from PHP
Markdown Extra.


 If a colon ( `\:` ) is at right of cell in 2nd line, the column is
right-aligned. If colons are at left and right, the column is center-aligned.

	|Name    |Color      |Number|
	|--------|:---------:|-----:|
	|Apple   |Red        |     8|
	|Mandarin|Orange     |    32|


>|Name    |Color      |Number|
>|--------|:---------:|-----:|
>|Apple   |Red        |     8|
>|Mandarin|Orange     |    32|

### Difference from PHP Markdown Extra ###

* At PHP Markdown Extra, a block-level html tag can be indented. But, at
 BlueFeather, a block-level html tag CANNOT be indented. (same as original
 Markdown)

* PHP Markdown Extra doesn't emphasize this phrase.

		Please open the folder "secret_magic_box".

	But, *BlueFeather emphasizes this phrase in this case.* (same as original
 Markdown)

* BlueFeather doesn't parse [Markdown Inside HTML Blocks][] and [Abbreviations][].

* Left borders of table is NOT optional.

### TOC ###

`{toc}` at line head is substituted table of contents. (a list of headers)

	{toc}

>{toc}

 You can specify to include levels of header.

	{toc:h3..}

>{toc:h3..}

 Default is h2 - h6.

 Following formats are usable to specify levels.

	{toc:h3-}    (same as previous example)
	{toc:h3}     (h3 only)
	{toc:h3..h4} (from h3 to h4)
	{toc:..h4}   (from h2 to h4)


 Be careful, Headers *written by Markdown on the document root*, are only
included in TOC. So following headers are NOT included in TOC.

	<h2>not included</h2>
	
	> ## not included ##


### Block Separator ###

 Normally, two or more block-level elements (lists, code blocks, or others) are
combined even if a blank line splits them. But, the specification is bad in
that case.

	1. list1 item1
	2. list1 item2
	3. list1 item3
	
	1. list2 item1
	2. list2 item2
	3. list2 item3

~

	<ol>
	<li>list1 item1</li>
	<li>list1 item2</li>
	<li><p>list1 item3</p></li>
	<li><p>list2 item1</p></li>
	<li>list2 item2</li>
	<li>list2 item3</li>
	</ol>

 One way for the matter, to use horizontal line.

	1. list1 item1
	2. list1 item2
	3. list1 item3
	
	----
	
	1. list2 item1
	2. list2 item2
	3. list2 item3

~

	<ol>
	<li>list1 item1</li>
	<li>list1 item2</li>
	<li>list1 item3</li>
	</ol>
	
	<hr />
	
	<ol>
	<li>list2 item1</li>
	<li>list2 item2</li>
	<li>list2 item3</li>
	</ol>


 But, you might not want horizontal line in some cases. Because of the matter,
at BlueFeather, only one tilde symbol works as block separator.


	~

For example:

	1. list1 item1
	2. list1 item2
	3. list1 item3
	
	~
	
	1. list2 item1
	2. list2 item2
	3. list2 item3

~

	<ol>
	<li>list1 item1</li>
	<li>list1 item2</li>
	<li>list1 item3</li>
	</ol>
	
	<ol>
	<li>list2 item1</li>
	<li>list2 item2</li>
	<li>list2 item3</li>
	</ol>
