        For GitLab we developed something we call "GitLab Flavored Markdown" (GFM).
        It extends the standard Markdown in a few significant ways adds some useful functionality.

      %p You can use GFM in:
      %ul
        %li commit messages
        %li comments
        %li wall posts
        %li issues
        %li merge requests
        %li milestones
        %li wiki pages

          If you're not already familiar with Markdown, you should spend 15 minutes and go over the excellent

      %h3 Differences from traditional Markdown

      %h4 Newlines

      %p
        The biggest difference that GFM introduces is in the handling of linebreaks.
        With traditional Markdown you can hard wrap paragraphs of text and they will be combined into a single paragraph. We find this to be the cause of a huge number of unintentional formatting errors.
        GFM treats newlines in paragraph-like content as real line breaks, which is probably what you intended.


      %p The next paragraph contains two phrases separated by a single newline character:
      %pre= "Roses are red\nViolets are blue"
      %p becomes
      = markdown "Roses are red\nViolets are blue"

      %h4 Multiple underscores in words

      %p
        It is not reasonable to italicize just <em>part</em> of a word, especially when you're dealing with code and names often appear with multiple underscores.
        Therefore, GFM ignores multiple underscores in words.

      %pre= "perform_complicated_task\ndo_this_and_do_that_and_another_thing"
      %p becomes
      = markdown "perform_complicated_task\ndo_this_and_do_that_and_another_thing"

      %h4 URL autolinking

      %p
        GFM will autolink standard URLs you copy and paste into your text.
        So if you want to link to a URL (instead of a textual link), you can simply put the URL in verbatim and it will be turned into a link to that URL.

      %h4 Fenced code blocks

      %p
        Markdown converts text with four spaces at the front of each line to code blocks.
        GFM supports that, but we also support fenced blocks.
        Just wrap your code blocks in <code>```</code> and you won't need to indent manually to trigger a code block.

      %pre= %Q{```ruby\nrequire 'redcarpet'\nmarkdown = Redcarpet.new("Hello World!")\nputs markdown.to_html\n```}
      %p becomes
      = markdown %Q{```ruby\nrequire 'redcarpet'\nmarkdown = Redcarpet.new("Hello World!")\nputs markdown.to_html\n```}

      %h4 Emoji

  .row
    .span8
      :ruby
        puts markdown %Q{Sometimes you want to be :cool: and add some :sparkles: to your :speech_balloon:. Well we have a :gift: for you:

          :exclamation: You can use emoji anywhere GFM is supported. :sunglasses:

          You can use it to point out a :bug: or warn about :monkey:patches. And if someone improves your really :snail: code, send them a :bouquet: or some :candy:. People will :heart: you for that.

          If you are :new: to this, don't be :fearful:. You can easily join the emoji :circus_tent:. All you need to do is to :book: up on the supported codes.
          }

      %h4 Special GitLab references

      %p
        GFM recognizes special references.
        You can easily reference e.g. a team member, an issue or a commit within a project.
        GFM will turn that reference into a link so you can navigate between them easily.

      %p GFM will recognize the following references:
      %ul
        %li
          %code @foo
          for team members
        %li
          %code #123
          for issues
        %li
          %code !123
          for merge request
        %li
          %code $123
          for snippets
        %li
          %code 1234567
          for commits

      -# this example will only be shown if the user has a project with at least one issue
      - if @project = current_user.authorized_projects.first
        - if issue = @project.issues.first
          %p For example in your #{link_to @project.name, project_path(@project)} project, writing:
          %pre= "This is related to ##{issue.id}. @#{current_user.username} is working on solving it."
          %p becomes:
          = markdown "This is related to ##{issue.id}. @#{current_user.username} is working on solving it."
        - @project = nil # Prevent this from bubbling up to page title
