SGML

Note: To produce HTML from the example markdown sources, copy and paste an example source, store it into a file with the ".md" file extension, and invoke

sgmlproc <your-file.md>

where <your-file.md> is replaced by the actual file used for storing.

# This is a top-level atx-style header with trailing (cosmetic) hash mark #
Text appearing as paragraph to the top-level section.
## This is a 2nd-level atx-style header ##
Text appearing as paragraph to the 2nd-level section.
Note that pandoc (without strict option) needs a blank
before a header, but won't generate header ids in strict mode.

This demonstrates Setext-style (underlined) headers
===================================================

This would be a sub header

The number of `=`'s or `-`'s doesn't matter as long
it is the only char on the line.

# 1. Header for a numbered section #

Point of this is that automatic links/header ids
are generated based on section numbers, if present,
so that [this link][sect_1_1] goes to the header
of section 1.1.

<h1 id="sect_1">1. Header for a numbered section

for headers without numbers;
[this link][header-for-a-non-numbered-section] goes to main header,
