Writing in Markdown
Posts are Markdown files. This one is a page bundle, a folder with an index.md and a photo next to it, and it uses
every element Markdown has, so you can see how Fieldnotes draws each.
A photo with a caption
A photo next to the post is linked by its name. Fieldnotes makes smaller copies for phones, and the text in quotes becomes the caption:
Lists
Three things to pack:
- a map, even with a phone
- more water than seems sensible
- a rain jacket, whatever the forecast says
And the order of a day:
- leave before sunrise
- lunch on the pass
- reach the hut before the afternoon storms
A quote
The mountains are calling and I must go.
John Muir, in a letter to his sister, 1873
A table
| Day | From | To | Distance | Climbing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Neustift | Starkenburger Hütte | 9 km | 1,250 m |
| 2 | Starkenburger Hütte | Franz-Senn-Hütte | 14 km | 980 m |
| 3 | Franz-Senn-Hütte | Neustift | 12 km | 420 m |
Numbers line up on the right with ---: in the separator row.
Links and footnotes
A link to another post works from any address the site lives at. A link to another site (opens in a new tab) opens in a new tab. A footnote adds a detail without breaking the sentence.1
The rule above is three dashes on a line of their own.
Most huts in the Alps are open from June to September; book ahead in August. ↩︎
