Markdown Block Example
This page demonstrates how markdown blocks are embedded in HTML and compiled into rendered content using the markdown pipeline in this project.
To define a markdown block in an .html file, wrap raw markdown in these directives:
Line 1 starts markdown capture and line 3 ends it.
<!-- @md start -->
...your markdown here...
<!-- @md end -->During build, these blocks are converted into valid HTML. This allows headings, lists, tables, links, and code blocks to be authored in markdown while still shipping compiled HTML output.
Rules and Requirements
This section outlines the minimum requirements for markdown blocks to compile correctly.
- Each block must start with
<!-- @md start -->and end with<!-- @md end -->. - Start and end markers must be properly paired; missing one marker will break block parsing.
- Markdown is processed at compile time, not in the browser at runtime.
- Syntax-highlighted code blocks require Prism assets on the page.
Rendered Output
This is the rendered HTML output produced from the markdown source block below.
Everything between @md start and @md end is compiled into this output.

Blockquotes
Blockquotes can also be nested...
...by using additional greater-than signs right next to each other...
...or with spaces between arrows.
Lists
Unordered
- Create a list by starting a line with
+,-, or* - Sub-lists are made by indenting 2 spaces:
- Marker character change forces new list start:
- Ac tristique libero volutpat at
- Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
- Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
- Marker character change forces new list start:
- Very easy!
Ordered
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
Consectetur adipiscing elit
Integer molestie lorem at massa
You can use sequential numbers...
...or keep all the numbers as
1.
Start numbering with offset:
- foo
- bar
Code
Inline code
Indented code
// Some comments
