Markdown

5000blogs uses goldmark, a CommonMark-compliant markdown parser. All standard CommonMark syntax is supported. Extensions are toggled via config.

CommonMark basics

Headings

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3

Auto-generated id attributes for anchor linking (e.g. <h2 id="heading-2">).

Emphasis

*italic* or _italic_
**bold** or __bold__
***bold italic***

Links and images

[Link text](https://example.com)
![Alt text](image.jpg)

Relative .md links are rewritten to post URLs. Relative non-markdown links become /media/... URLs. See Writing Posts: Media files.

Code

Inline: `code`

Fenced blocks:

```go
fmt.Println("hello")
```

Blockquotes

> This is a blockquote.
> It can span multiple lines.

Lists

- Unordered item
- Another item

1. Ordered item
2. Another item

Horizontal rules

(Use blank lines around it to avoid confusion with front matter.)

HTML

Raw HTML in markdown is passed through as-is.

Extensions

Toggled in config under features. See Configuration: Features.

Tables

Config: features.tables: true (default: on)

GFM-style pipe tables:

| Name  | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Alpha | 1     |
| Beta  | 2     |

Alignment with ::

| Left | Center | Right |
|:-----|:------:|------:|
| a    | b      | c     |

Strikethrough

Config: features.strikethrough: true (default: on)

~~deleted text~~

Wikilinks

Config: features.wiki_links: true (default: on)

Link to posts by title using [[Title]] syntax:

See [[Setup: Docker]] for container instructions.

Resolution: the title is matched against all loaded posts. If found, links to that post's slug. If not found, falls back to a URL-encoded path.

Compatible with Obsidian-style wikilinks.

Autolinks

Config: features.autolinks: false (default: off)

Bare URLs are automatically converted to clickable links:

Visit https://example.com for details.

Task lists

Config: features.task_list: false (default: off)

- [x] Completed task
- [ ] Pending task

Renders as checkboxes.

Footnotes

Config: features.footnotes: false (default: off)

This has a footnote[^1].

[^1]: Footnote content here.

Renders as superscript references with a footnote section at the bottom.

Link rewriting

Relative links in markdown are rewritten automatically:

Markdown	Rendered href
[text](other.md)	/other
[text](sub/page.md)	/sub/page
[text](image.png)	/media/image.png
[text](#section)	#section (unchanged)
[text](https://...)	https://... (unchanged)

For posts in subdirectories, relative paths resolve relative to that subdirectory.
