Markdown

All the standard and extended markdown syntax Email.md supports.

Email.md supports standard markdown plus several extensions. This page covers the features that aren't covered by their own dedicated docs pages (buttons, images, tables, emoji, and directives).

Text Formatting

Standard inline formatting works as expected:

**Bold text** and *italic text* and ***bold italic***.

~~Strikethrough~~ for deleted content.

`inline code` renders with a subtle background.

Headings

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4

Headings are styled with the theme's headingColor.

Links

[Visit our site](https://example.com)

Autolinks work too: https://example.com

Links are styled with the theme's brandColor.

Lists

Ordered and unordered lists:

- First item
- Second item
- Third item

1. Step one
2. Step two
3. Step three

Task Lists

- [x] Design approved
- [x] Content written
- [ ] Ready to send

Task lists render with checkboxes — checked items show a filled checkbox, unchecked items show an empty one.

Blockquotes

> "The best way to predict the future is to create it."
>
> — Peter Drucker

Blockquotes are styled with a left border in your theme's brandColor.

Code Blocks

Fenced code blocks render with a theme-aware background:

```
const greeting = "Hello, world!";
console.log(greeting);
```

The background uses the theme's cardColor with rounded corners and comfortable padding.

Definition Lists

Email.md
: A markdown-to-email library.

MJML
: The framework that powers Email.md's HTML output.

Highlighted Text

Use ==double equals== to highlight text with a colored background:

Don't miss our ==biggest sale of the year==!

The highlight uses your theme's brandColor at reduced opacity.

Subscript & Superscript

H~2~O is water.

E = mc^2^ is famous.

~text~ renders as subscript, ^text^ renders as superscript.

Horizontal Rules

A horizontal rule creates a visual separator between sections:
