Using Markdown in Pagure

========================

Pagure uses `Markdown syntax highlighting

<https: daringfireball.net="" markdown="" projects="" syntax="">`_ as the base for</https:>

formatting comments in issues, pull requests, and in Markdown files in

repositories. For basic formatting, Pagure follows common Markdown

formatting, but it also has some unique syntax for more advanced

formatting. This help page helps demonstrate how to use Markdown in Pagure.

Pagure relies on the `Markdown <http: markdown="" pythonhosted.org="">`_ python</http:>

module to do the convertion.

It has enabled a few extensions:

- `Definition Lists <http: definition_lists.html="" extensions="" markdown="" pythonhosted.org="">`_</http:>

- `Fenced Code Blocks <http: extensions="" fenced_code_blocks.html="" markdown="" pythonhosted.org="">`_</http:>

- `Tables <http: extensions="" markdown="" pythonhosted.org="" tables.html="">`_</http:>

- `Smart Strong <http: extensions="" markdown="" pythonhosted.org="" smart_strong.html="">`_</http:>

- `Admonition <http: admonition.html="" extensions="" markdown="" pythonhosted.org="">`_</http:>

- `CodeHilite <http: code_hilite.html="" extensions="" markdown="" pythonhosted.org="">`_</http:>

- `Sane lists <http: extensions="" markdown="" pythonhosted.org="" sane_lists.html="">`_</http:>

README files can also rely on:

- `Abbreviations <http: abbreviations.html="" extensions="" markdown="" pythonhosted.org="">`_</http:>

- `Foonotes <http: extensions="" footnotes.html="" markdown="" pythonhosted.org="">`_</http:>

- `Table of Contents <http: extensions="" markdown="" pythonhosted.org="" toc.html="">`_</http:>

While comments use:

- `New Line to Break <http: extensions="" markdown="" nl2br.html="" pythonhosted.org="">`_</http:>

Code

You can highlight parts of a line as code or create entire code blocks in

your Markdown documents. You can do this with the backtick character (`).

Text inside of backticks will not be formatted.

To format multiple lines of code into its own block, you can wrap the text

block with four tilde (~) characters

    * Superwoman

    * Harley Quinn

        * Something on this list is unlike the others...

        2. He drives the Batmobile!

    3. Superwoman

Tagging users

-------------

You can tag other users on Pagure to send them a notification about an issue

or pull request. To tag a user, use the `@` symbol followed by their username.

Typing the `@` symbol in a comment will bring up a list of users that match

the username. The list searches as you type. Once you see the name of the

person you are looking for, you can click their name to automatically

complete the tag.

`@jflory7, could you please review this pull request and leave feedback?`

`@jflory7 <https: jflory7="" pagure.io="" user="">`_, could you please review this pull request and leave feedback?</https:>

Tagging issues or pull requests

-------------------------------

In a comment, you can automatically link a pull request or issue by its number.

To link it, use the `#` character followed by its number. Like with tagging

users, Pagure will provide suggestions for issues or pull requests as you

type the number. You can select the issue in the drop-down to automatically

tag the issue or pull request.

If you need to tag an issue or pull request that is outside of the current

project, you are also able to do this. For cross-projects links, you can tag

them by typing `<project name="">#id` or `<username>/<project name="">#id`.</project></username></project>

Emoji

-----

Pagure natively supports emoji characters. To use emoji, you can use two

colons wrapped around the emoji keyword (`:emoji:`). Typing a colon by itself

will bring up a list of suggested emoji with a small preview. If you see the

one you're looking for, you can click it to automatically complete the emoji.
