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 tests *two* *emphasized* texts chunks next to another, with blank in between.

<p>This tests <em>two</em> <em>emphasized</em> texts chunks next to another, with blank in between.

This demonstrates using **double asterisks** to strongly emphasize text.

This demontrates **two****consecutive** strongly emphasised text portions.

This goes to show that an * asterisk* without directly following non-blank text
isn't interpreted as emphasis syntax,
and neither is an *asterisk * without directly *preceding* non-blank text.
Note that pandoc behaves somewhat different: it will put the 2nd "asterisk"
(and "preceding") in em tags.

This is put in "em" tags: *text*subsequent non-space,
and so is this: preceding non-space*text*
and this: nonspace*text*nonspace
(as opposed to underscore1.txt)

<p>This is put in "em" tags: <em>text</em>subsequent non-space,
and so is this: preceding non-space<em>text</em>
and this: nonspace<em>text</em>nonspace
(as opposed to underscore1.txt)
</p>

This isn't put in "em" tags: _text_subsequent non-space,
and neither is this: preceding non-space_text_
or this: nonspace_text_nonspace
(as opposed to asterisk4.txt)

This backslash escapes `*`: \*.
And this one: \_ escapes `_`.

<p>This backslash escapes <code>&#42;</code>: &#42;.
And this one: &#95; escapes <code>&#95;</code>.
</p>

A backslash can escape backticks like this: \`this isn't code\`.

<p>A backslash can escape backticks like this: &#96;this isn't code&#96;.
</p>

Backslashes have no special interpretation within backticks.
as `shown \\ here`.
`Backslashes preceeding a backtick\` in backticked verbatim text` are
no exception to this (so the backticked ends after the backslash).

This test `span-level code blocks`.

Within `backticks`, reserved HTML characters (such as `<`, `>`, or `&`)
get replaced by character entities.

<p>Within <code>backticks</code>, reserved HTML characters (such as <code>&#60;</code>, <code>&#62;</code>, or <code>&#38;</code>)
get replaced by character entities.
</p>

This is how you write HTML character entities verbatim: `&`, `<`, `>`

</p>

Within `backticked code, a sequence of two consecutive backticks `` are
reproduced as two backticks`, so don't expand to a single backtick,
like, say, in SQL.

Text with `backticked code with two non-consecutive backticks ` ` are `
handled as two consecutive spans of inline code.

<p>Text with <code>backticked code with two non-consecutive backticks</code> <code>are</code>
handled as two consecutive spans of inline code.

To place a verbatim backtick within backticks, start and
end `` the inline code span with two backticks and a blank; then use ` ``

Underscore chars within backticks (`like _these_ ones`) aren't treated
as markdown syntax

This line is ended with (invisible) double space after the comma,  
which will make markdown put a `<br>` tag before this next line.
