+### Code Blocks
+
+Pre-formatted code blocks are used for writing about programming or
+markup source code. Rather than forming normal paragraphs, the lines
+of a code block are interpreted literally. Markdown wraps a code block
+in both `` and `` tags.
+
+To produce a code block in Markdown, simply indent every line of the
+block by at least 4 spaces or 1 tab.
+
+This is a normal paragraph:
+
+ This is a code block.
+
+Here is an example of AppleScript:
+
+ tell application "Foo"
+ beep
+ end tell
+
+A code block continues until it reaches a line that is not indented
+(or the end of the article).
+
+Within a code block, ampersands (`&`) and angle brackets (`<` and `>`)
+are automatically converted into HTML entities. This makes it very
+easy to include example HTML source code using Markdown — just paste
+it and indent it, and Markdown will handle the hassle of encoding the
+ampersands and angle brackets. For example, this:
+
+
+
+Regular Markdown syntax is not processed within code blocks. E.g.,
+asterisks are just literal asterisks within a code block. This means
+it's also easy to use Markdown to write about Markdown's own syntax.
+
+```
+tell application "Foo"
+ beep
+end tell
+```

+## Span Elements
+
+### Links
+
+Markdown supports two style of links: *inline* and *reference*.
+
+In both styles, the link text is delimited by [square brackets].
+
+To create an inline link, use a set of regular parentheses immediately
+after the link text's closing square bracket. Inside the parentheses,
+put the URL where you want the link to point, along with an *optional*
+title for the link, surrounded in quotes. For example:
+
+This is [an example](http://example.com/) inline link.
+
+[This link](/example) has no title attribute.
+
+### Emphasis
+
+Markdown treats asterisks (`*`) and underscores (`_`) as indicators of
+emphasis. Text wrapped with one `*` or `_` will be wrapped with an
+HTML `` tag; double `*`'s or `_`'s will be wrapped with an HTML
+`` tag. E.g., this input:
+
+*single asterisks*
+
+_single underscores_
+
+**double asterisks**
+
+__double underscores__
+
+### Code
+
+To indicate a span of code, wrap it with backtick quotes (`` ` ``).
+Unlike a pre-formatted code block, a code span indicates code within a
+normal paragraph. For example:
+
+Use the `printf()` function.
