# GitLab Markdown This document is intended to be a comprehensive example of custom GitLab Markdown usage. It will be parsed and then tested for accuracy. Let's get started. ## Markdown GitLab uses [Commonmark](https://git.io/fhDag) to parse all Markdown into HTML. It has some special features. Let's try 'em out! ### No Intra Emphasis This string should have no emphasis: foo_bar_baz ### Tables | Header | Row | Example | | :------: | ---: | :------ | | Foo | Bar | **Baz** | ### Fenced Code Blocks ```c #include main() { printf("Hello World"); } ``` ```python print "Hello, World!" ``` ### Strikethrough This text says this, ~~and this text doesn't~~. ### Superscript This is my 1(st) time using superscript in Markdown. Now this is my 2(nd). Redcarpet supports this superscript syntax ( x^2 ). ### Subscript This (C6H12O6) is an example of subscripts in Markdown. ### Next step After the Markdown has been turned into HTML, it gets passed through... ## HTML::Pipeline ### SanitizationFilter GitLab uses HTML::Pipeline::SanitizationFilter to sanitize the generated HTML, stripping dangerous or unwanted tags. Its default whitelist is pretty permissive. Check it: b tag and em tag. code tag Press s to search. Emoji Plain old images! Here comes a line break:
And a horizontal rule:
As permissive as it is, we've allowed even more stuff: span tag
Summary lines are collapsible: Hiding the details until expanded.
This is a link with a defined rel attribute, which should be removed This is a link trying to be sneaky. It gets its link removed entirely. ### Escaping The problem with SanitizationFilter is that it can be too aggressive. | Input | Expected | Actual | | ----------- | ---------------- | --------- | | `1 < 3 & 5` | 1 < 3 & 5 | 1 < 3 & 5 | | `` | <foo> | | ### Edge Cases Markdown should be usable inside a link. Let's try! - [_text_](#link-emphasis) - [**text**](#link-strong) - [`text`](#link-code) ### UploadLinkFilter Linking to an upload in this project should work: [Relative Upload Link](/uploads/e90decf88d8f96fe9e1389afc2e4a91f/test.jpg) ![Relative Upload Image](/uploads/e90decf88d8f96fe9e1389afc2e4a91f/test.jpg) ### RepositoryLinkFilter Linking to a file relative to this project's repository should work. [Relative Link](doc/README.md) ![Relative Image](app/assets/images/touch-icon-ipad.png) ### EmojiFilter Because life would be :zzz: without Emoji, right? :rocket: Get ready for the Emoji :bomb: : :+1: :-1: :ok_hand: :wave: :v: :raised_hand: :muscle: ### TableOfContentsFilter All headers in this document should be linkable. Try it. ### AutolinkFilter These are all plain text that should get turned into links: - http://about.gitlab.com/ - https://google.com/ - ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ - smb://foo/bar/baz - irc://irc.freenode.net/git - http://localhost:3000 But it shouldn't autolink text inside certain tags: - http://code.gitlab.com/ - http://a.gitlab.com/ - http://kbd.gitlab.com/ ### ExternalLinkFilter External links get a `rel="nofollow noreferrer"` and `target="_blank"` attributes: - [Google](https://google.com/) - [GitLab Root](<%= Gitlab.config.gitlab.url %>) ### Reference Filters (e.g., <%= issue.to_reference %>) References should be parseable even inside _<%= merge_request.to_reference %>_ emphasis. #### UserReferenceFilter -

In order to generate a diagram or flowchart, you should write your text inside the `mermaid` block. Example: ```mermaid graph TD; A-->B; A-->C; B-->D; C-->D; ``` Becomes: ```mermaid graph TD; A-->B; A-->C; B-->D; C-->D; ``` For details see the [Mermaid official page][mermaid].
