Working with Markdown in Engee

For markup, Engee uses Markdown— a lightweight markup language designed for writing structured text. It is used in annotations, text cells of the script editor, files with the extension .md and everywhere in Engee where markup is available when writing text.

Engee uses the extended Markdown dialect, which supports extensions in addition to the standard elements that are not present in the regular markup (for more information, see Extended syntax).

The standard Markdown elements are visually separated from the extended ones using a vertical separator on the toolbar of the text cell of the script editor.:

script editor text x

Basic syntax

Let’s look at the basic syntax of the Markdown language:

headings

Headings — Use # to indicate the first-level heading (the largest heading). Use ## for the second-level header, and so on up to the sixth level.:

# First level header

## Second level header

...

###### Sixth level header
The text selection

Text selection — Use * or _ to italicize text. Use * * or _ _ to make the text bold. Use ~ ~ for strikethrough text.

*Italicized text*

**Bold text**

~~Strikethrough text~~
LIST

Lists — use *, - or + to create an unordered list. Use numbers with a dot to create an ordered list.

* List item 1
* List item 2

1. List item 1
2. List item 2
Formula

After switching Engee to KaTeX, old scripts with LaTeX formulas without $ or ` they may be displayed incorrectly. Make sure that all formulas are wrapped in `$` or `, and , if necessary , remove the extra escape characters (\), which could have been added automatically.

For more information and to implement a more complex syntax, see official KaTeX documentation.

Markdown Engee supports the display of LaTeX formulas by default using the library KaTeX.

For correct display, wrap the formula in $:

  • $…​$ — for single-line formulas, an example:

    $x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

  • ... — for multi-line formulas, an example:

    $$
\frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi}} \\
\cdot \exp\left( -\frac{(x - \mu)^2}{2\sigma^2} \right)
$$
citate_

Quotes — Use > to create quotes.

> Your quote.
code

Code — wrap the text using the back apostrophe ` to insert a one-line code. Use three reverse apostrophes ( ` ` ` ) to insert a multi-line code.

An example of a `code` inside the text.

```
Multi-line
code
```
links

Links — use the construction [link text](URL) to create a hyperlink.

[Engee Documentation](https://engee.com/helpcenter/stable /)
images

Images — Use a standard design ![alternative text](Image URL) to insert an image. For example:

![Logo](https://astralinux.ru/upload/iblock/ef6/398hnxlwiur3hci7uozjn9n9wagwp1n6.png )

If you want to control the alignment and size of images, you can use HTML or CSS. Below are the various options with examples.:

Option code Type of alignment 
![Engee](https://engee.com/helpcenter/stable/_next/static/media/engee.png){width=100px}

By default

 
<p align="left">
  <img width="100px" src="https://engee.com/helpcenter/stable/_next/static/media/engee.png">
</p>

On the left edge

 
<p align="center">
  <img width="100px" src="https://engee.com/helpcenter/stable/_next/static/media/engee.png">
</p>

In the center

 
<p align="right">
  <img width="100px" src="https://engee.com/helpcenter/stable/_next/static/media/engee.png">
</p>

On the right edge

 
<center>
  <img src="https://engee.com/helpcenter/stable/_next/static/media/engee.png"
       style="max-width: 100px;">
</center>

Centered through <center>

 
![Engee](attachment:engee.png){.center style="display: block; margin: 0 auto; width: 100px;"}

Centered through .center

markdown all images example

If you use local images via attachment:file_name.png then they also support CSS formatting, as in the last example in the table.

attachment: — this is a special link to local files attached to the script editor. This type of image insertion is supported in interactive scripts of the formats ngscript and ipynb. To add an image as attachment: just drag and drop the file (for example, engee.png) from the Engee file browser to the script editor cell — it will automatically become available as ![engee.png](attachment:engee.png) and it will be visible in the preview.
_ Separators_

Horizontal line — Use three hyphens - - - or three asterisks * * * to insert a horizontal line.

---
***
tables

Tables — use | and - to create tables.

| Heading 1 | Heading 2 |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| Cell 1 | Cell 2 |
| Cell 3 | Cell 4 |

Or an alternative syntax offered in WYSIWYG:

#|
||

Title 1

|

Title 2

||
||

Cell 1

|

Cell 2

||
||

Cell 3

|

Cell 4

||
|#

Extended syntax

When working with extended markup, be sure to separate the content with indents, leaving empty lines.:

Correct

Incorrect

 
{% note info %}

This is a note.

{% endnote %}
 
{% note info %}
This is a note.
{% endnote %}

A note

Note (note) is a dedicated block that draws attention to the information it contains. Depending on the context, you can use different types of notes using keywords. info, tip, warning and alert:

_ Learn more about working with notes_
Type Appointment Example

info (Note)

Additional information.

 
{% note info %}

This is a note.

{% endnote %}

info markup

tip (Advice)

A useful recommendation.

 
{% note tip %}

This is a tip.

{% endnote %}

tip markup

warning (Important)

A warning about possible problems.

 
{% note warning %}

This is important information.

{% endnote %}

warning markup

alert (Attention)

Limitations or errors.

 
{% note alert %}

This is a warning.

{% endnote %}

alert markup

You can also set a note with your own title or without a title at all.:

<!-- Заметка со своим заголовком -->
{% note info "Your own title" %}

This is a note with its own title.

{% endnote %}

<!-- Заметка без заголовка -->
{% note info "" %}

This is a note without a title.

{% endnote %}

admonition markup

Catas (cut) — used to hide part of the content.

_ Learn more about the cutouts_

For example, you can hide additional information or long blocks of code.:

{% cut "Kata title" %}

The content that will be displayed when clicked.

{% endcut %}

kat markup

Kats do not support the ability to expand the default element.

Tabs (tabs) — used to switch between different sections without cluttering up the page.

_ Learn more about tabs_

Let’s look at an example of creating multiple tabs:

{% list tabs %}

- Name of tab 1

  The text of tab 1.

- Name of tab 2

  The text of tab 2.

{% endlist %}

tabs markup

You can also set the opening of the desired tab by default with the attribute {selected}:

{% list tabs %}

- Name of tab 1

  The text of tab 1.

- Tab name 2 {selected}

  This tab will be opened by default.

{% endlist %}

Tabs can be synchronized using the attribute group:

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Python

  About python

- Java

  About java

{% endlist %}

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Python

  Duplicate python content

- Java

  Duplicate java content

{% endlist %}

tabs markup 1

The state of the tabs is saved when the page is reloaded.

Radio buttons (tabs radio) — they work like tabs, but they look like switches.

_ Learn more about radio buttons_

Let’s look at an example of creating a radio button:

{% list tabs radio %}

- Linux

  Instructions for Linux

- Windows

  Instructions for Windows

{% endlist %}

tabs radio 1

As with tabs, you can set the default element using {selected}:

{% list tabs radio %}

- macOS

  Instruction manual

- Windows {selected}

  This option will be opened by default.

{% endlist %}

Using Markdown, you can embed videos from various platforms into Engee. Here’s how to do it.:

_ Learn more about the video_

To embed a video from a supported video hosting service, follow the following format

@[hosting name](id_view_ or link_name)

For this:

  • Replace the hosting name with the name of the platform from the list: yandex, rutube, vk, youtube, vimeo, vine, osf, prezi.

  • Go to the video page and find the embed code (in the tag <iframe>) and copy the link from the attribute src without quotes:

    <iframe src="https://vk.com/video_ext.php?oid=-207738372&id;=456239060&hd;=2&autoplay;=1" width="853" height="480" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; screen-wake-lock;" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

  • Replace the id_view_ or the line_name to the link from the attribute src.

An example that will result in a video player from VK:

@[vk](https://vk.com/video_ext.php?oid=-207738372&id;=456239060&hd;=2&autoplay;=1)

Integration with HTML

Markdown Engee supports HTML text markup using tags. Let’s look at the most popular ones.:

The markup with HTML tags

  • <strong> or <b> — tags are used to highlight text in bold. <strong> it is preferable to use it in semantically significant cases, when the text is really of particular importance.

    <p>This text is highlighted with the <strong>strong tag</strong>, and this one with the <b>b tag</b>.</p>

  • <em> or <i> — tags are used to italicize text. As in the case of tags for bold text, <em> it is preferable to use it in semantically significant cases.

    <p>This text is highlighted with the <em>em tag</em>, and this one with the <i>i tag</i>.</p>

  • <s> — the tag is used to add strikethrough to the text.

    <p>This text is <s>crossed</s> out.</p>

  • <p> — the tag is used to create a paragraph of text. Paragraphs are usually indented at the top and bottom.

    <p>This text is in the paragraph.</p>

  • <h1> - <h6> — tags are used to create titles of different levels. Headings have different sizes and are usually designed to structure the page content.

    <h1>Level 1 header</h1>
<h2>Level 2 header</h2>
<h3>Level 3 header</h3>
<h4>Level 4 header</h4>
<h5>Level 5 header</h5>
<h6>Level 6 header</h6>

  • <ul>, <ol>, <li> — tags are used to create unordered <ul> and orderly <ol> lists, as well as their elements <li>.

    <ul>
  <li>The first element of the unordered list</li>
  <li>The second element of the unordered list</li>
</ul>

<ol>
  <li>The first element of the ordered list</li>
  <li>The second element of the ordered list</li>
</ol>

  • <img> — the tag is used to insert images on the page.

    <img src="https://astralinux.ru/upload/iblock/ef6/398hnxlwiur3hci7uozjn9n9wagwp1n6.png" alt="Engee logo">

  • <a> — the tag is used to insert links.
