Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. Several fabulous dixieland jazz groups played with quick tempo. Back in my quaint garden, jaunty zinnias vie with flaunting phlox¹. Five or six big jet planes zoomed quickly by the new tower. Exploring the zoo, we saw every kangaroo jump and quite a few carried babies. I quickly explained that many big jobs involve few hazards. Jay Wolf is quite an expert on the bass violin, guitar, dulcimer, ukulele and zither. Expect skilled signwriters to use many jazzy, quaint old alphabets effectively. The wizard quickly jinxed the gnomes before they vaporized. THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE LAZY DOG’S BACK 1234567890².

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, eu detracto senserit vis, ei natum ridens detracto sit. Id iriure prompta vix. Sit ea feugiat invenire similique, etiam solet eleifend cu per. Ea falli nullam elaboraret vis, modo percipitur omittantur at ius, in quo nullam timeam ocurreret. Est ad deleniti corrumpit scripserit, te usu apeirian recusabo oportere, nemore laboramus vulputate te vim. Ea eum mazim iudicabit, harum utroque pri ne.

Per no putant iriure intellegebat. Tamquam maiorum ei eum, ea iuvaret maluisset liberavisse eam, adhuc falli tamquam ius te? Eu amet virtute scaevola est, simul nusquam invidunt duo id, at usu sanctus abhorreant definiebas! Vide ullum quo cu? Ius in forensibus sadipscing, dicant aperiri volutpat et sit.

Veri dicat pro te, an aliquam reprimique cum, et pro commune maiestatis. Nec ex amet eleifend definitiones! An adipisci consequuntur est. In quot oratio vis. Vide nobis aperiam pri ad, et sit dictas adolescens inciderint, pertinacia referrentur consequuntur pri id?

List

There are two kinds of lists with

Ordered lists

1. First item

2. Second item

   Second paragraph of Second item

3. Third item

A small paragraph before the second list.

4. Forth item - If this doesn’t start with 4 than smart list are not on.

   • Nested unordered list item 1

   • Nested unordered list item 2

   • Nested unordered list item 3

5. Fifth item

6. Six item

Unordered lists

• First item.

• Second item. This second item has two paragraphs in it.

  This is the second paragraph of the second item. (Not confusing at all.)

  Block quote in the unordered list

  Followed by a code block:

  {
    "firstName": "John",
    "lastName": "Smith",
    "age": 25
  }
  

• Third item.

  1. Nested ordered list item 1

  2. Nested ordered list item 2

  3. Nested ordered list item 3

• Forth item.

Footnotes

I am going to use the example from the footnote documentation³.

Block quote

Something simple should go here.

Remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.

• Harriet Tubman

Sometimes you might have nested block quotes.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

• Wayne Gretzky

• Michael Scott

Tables

This is my tables section. These were taken from https://markdown-it.github.io/ and https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/#table.

Right aligned columns

Centered values

Misc

These are the things that most people don’t really use.

Complex definitions

Term 1

This is a definition with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus.

Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus.

Second definition for term 1, also wrapped in a paragraph because of the blank line preceding it.

Term 2

This definition has a code block, a blockquote and a list.

code block.

block quote on two lines.

1. first list item
2. second list item

Code blocks

import logging
# This line is emphasized

1. What about this goal sparked my curiosity?
2. What motivated me to want to invest my time and energy here?
3. What am I trying to accomplish?
4. What will it require?
5. What is my definition of success with this goal?
