Page Break

There is no Markdown syntax for Page break. However, you can use the HTML equivalent. This syntax will only take effect during the printing of document.

<div style="page-break-after:always"></div>

Task Lists

- [x] @mentions, #refs, [links](), **formatting**, and <del>tags</del> supported
- [x] list syntax required (any unordered or ordered list supported)
- [x] this is a complete item
- [ ] this is an incomplete item

Tables

First Header | Second Header
------------ | -------------
Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2
Content in the first column | Content in the second column

Would become:

First Header Second Header
Content from cell 1 Content from cell 2
Content in the first column Content in the second column
