2016-09-09 20:08:17 +00:00
<i class="fa fa-file-text"></i> **HackMD** is a realtime, multiplatform collaborative markdown note editor.
2016-09-09 20:42:12 +00:00
This means that you can write notes with other people on your **desktop**, **tablet** or even on the **phone**.
You can sign-in via **Facebook**, **Twitter**, **GitHub**, or **Dropbox** in the [_homepage_](/).
2016-09-09 20:42:12 +00:00
Note that this service is still in an early stage, and thus still has some [_issues_](https://github.com/hackmdio/hackmd/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Abug).
Please report new issues in [GitHub](https://github.com/hackmdio/hackmd/issues/new).
If you need instant help, please send us a [Facebook message](https://www.facebook.com/hackmdio/messages).
**Thank you very much!**

2016-09-09 21:44:20 +00:00
**Only the owner of the note can change the note's permissions.**
2016-09-11 21:19:05 +00:00
## Embed a Note:
Notes can be embedded as follows:
```xml
<iframe width="100%" height="500" src="https://hackmd.io/features" frameborder="0"></iframe>

2016-09-09 21:44:20 +00:00
## Code Block:
2016-09-11 21:19:05 +00:00
We support many programming languages, use the auto complete function to see the entire list.
```javascript=
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
function $initHighlight(block, cls) {
try {
if (cls.search(/\bno\-highlight\b/) != -1)
return process(block, true, 0x0F) +
' class=""';
} catch (e) {
/* handle exception */
}
for (var i = 0 / 2; i < classes.length; i++) {
if (checkCondition(classes[i]) === undefined)
return /\d+[\s/]/g;
}
}
```
2016-09-09 21:44:20 +00:00
> If you want **line numbers**, type `=` after specifying the code block languagues.
> Also, you can specify the start line number.
> Like below, the line number starts from 101:
```javascript=101
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
function $initHighlight(block, cls) {
try {
if (cls.search(/\bno\-highlight\b/) != -1)
return process(block, true, 0x0F) +
' class=""';
} catch (e) {
/* handle exception */
}
for (var i = 0 / 2; i < classes.length; i++) {
if (checkCondition(classes[i]) === undefined)
return /\d+[\s/]/g;
}
}
```
2016-09-09 21:44:20 +00:00
> Or you might want to continue the previous code block's line number, use `=+`
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
```javascript=+
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
```
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
> Somtimes you have a super long text without breaks. It's time to use `!` to wrap your code.
```!
When youre a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, youre not going to use a piece of plywood on the back.
```

## MathJax
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
You can render *LaTeX* mathematical expressions using **MathJax**, as on [math.stackexchange.com](http://math.stackexchange.com/):
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
The *Gamma function* satisfying $\Gamma(n) = (n-1)!\quad\forall n\in\mathbb N$ is via the Euler integral
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
$$
x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}.
$$
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
$$
\Gamma(z) = \int_0^\infty t^{z-1}e^{-t}dt\,.
$$

cond(no)->op2
```
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
### Graphviz
```graphviz
digraph hierarchy {
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
nodesep=1.0 // increases the separation between nodes

edge [color=Blue, style=dashed] //All the lines look like this
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
Headteacher->{Deputy1 Deputy2 BusinessManager}
Deputy1->{Teacher1 Teacher2}
BusinessManager->ITManager

### Lists
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
#### Unordered
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
+ Create a list by starting a line with `+`, `-`, or `*`
+ Sub-lists are made by indenting 2 spaces:
- Marker character change forces new list start:
* Ac tristique libero volutpat at
+ Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
- Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
+ Very easy!
#### Ordered
2015-05-04 07:53:29 +00:00
1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
2. Consectetur adipiscing elit
3. Integer molestie lorem at massa
1. You can use sequential numbers...
1. ...or keep all the numbers as `1.`
1. feafw
2. 332
3. 242
4. 2552
