Testing: Footnotes and Definition Lists

The Back Story

Footnote Formatting

Python-Markdown’s Footnote syntax generally follows the community at large version of Markdown but provides some extra‘s such as footnotes. For example, the the following block of text:

Footnotes¹ have a label² and the footnote's content. And you can have formating within the footnote³.

This was created via this block of Markdown text:

Footnotes[^a] have a label[^@#$%] and the footnote's content.
And you can have formating within the footnote[^2].
[^a]: This is a footnote content.
[^@#$%]: A footnote on the label: "@#$%".
[^2]: 
    The first paragraph of the definition.

    Paragraph two of the definition.

    > A blockquote with
    > multiple lines.

        a code block

    A final paragraph.

The text to create the footnotes can appear anywhere in the Markdown file, but by default, they will be rendered at the end of the page or article. See here if you wish to control the footnotes location.

Definition Lists

The Definition Lists extension adds the ability to create definition lists in Markdown documents. For example, here are defintions of two fruits:

Apple

Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in the family Rosaceae.

Orange

The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.

You can also add multiple definitions (if you add some spacing between items):

Apple

Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in the family Rosaceae.

An American computer company.

Orange

The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.

This was created via this block of Markdown text:

Apple
:   Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in 
    the family Rosaceae.
:   An American computer company.

Orange
:    The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.
