Docs smoke test page | false |
This page serves two purposes:
- Demonstrate how the Kubernetes documentation uses Markdown
- Provide a "smoke test" document we can use to test HTML, CSS, and template changes that affect the overall documentation.
Heading levels
The above heading is an H2. The page title renders as an H1. The following sections show H3-H6.

Lists
Bullet lists

- To make a sub-item, indent two spaces.
- This is a sub-sub-item.
- To make a sub-item, indent two spaces.
-
This is a new list. It has two blank lines from the previous list, If it only had one blank line, it would still show up as part of the previous list.
-
Bullet lists can have paragraphs or block elements within them.
Just indent the content to be even with the text of the bullet point, rather than the bullet itself.
ls -l
- And a sub-list after some block-level content
-
A bullet list item can contain a numbered list.
- Numbered sub-list item 1
- Numbered sub-list item 2
Numbered lists
-
This is a list item
-
This is another list item in the same list. The number you use in Markdown does not necessarily correlate to the number in the final output. By convention, we keep them in sync.
-
For single-digit numbered lists, using two spaces after the period makes interior block-level content line up better along tab-stops.

Checklists

Code blocks
You can create code blocks two different ways:
-
by indenting the entire code block 4 spaces from the content
this is a code block created by indentation
-
by surrounding the code block with three back-tick characters on lines before and after the code block.
this is a code block created by back-ticks
The back-tick method has some advantages.
- It is more compact when viewing the source code.
- It allows you to specify what language the code block is in, for syntax highlighting.
- It has a definite ending. Sometimes, the indentation method breaks with languages where spacing is significant, like Python or YAML.
To specify the language for the code block, put it directly after the first grouping of back-ticks:
ls -l
Links
To format a link, put the link text inside square brackets, followed by the link target in parentheses. Link to Kubernetes.io or Relative link to Kubernetes.io
You can also use HTML, but it is not preferred. Link to Kubernetes.io
Images
To format an image, use similar syntax to links, but add a leading !
character. The square brackets contain the image's alt text. Try to always use
alt text so that people using screen readers can get some benefit from the
image.
An image can also be a link. This time the pencil icon links to the Kubernetes website. Outer square brackets enclose the entire image tag, and the link target is in the parentheses at the end.
You can also use HTML for images, but it is not preferred.

Tables
Simple tables have one row per line, and columns are separated by |
characters. The header is separated from the body by cells containing nothing
but at least three -
characters. For ease of maintenance, try to keep all the
cell separators even, even if you heed to use extra space.
Heading cell 1 | Heading cell 2 |
---|---|
Body cell 1 | Body cell 2 |
The header is optional. Any text separated by |
will render as a table.
Markdown tables have a hard time with block-level elements within cells, such as list items, code blocks, or multiple paragraphs. For complex or very wide tables, use HTML instead.
Heading cell 1 | Heading cell 2 |
---|---|
Body cell 1 | Body cell 2 |
Sidebars and Admonitions
Sidebars and admonitions provide ways to add visual importance to text. Use them sparingly.
Sidebars
A sidebar offsets text visually, but without the visual prominence of admonitions.
This is a sidebar.
You can have paragraphs and block-level elements within a sidebar.
You can even have code blocks.
sudo dmesg
Admonitions
Admonitions (notes, warnings, etc) use Hugo shortcodes.
{{< note >}} Note: Notes catch the reader's attention without a sense of urgency.
You can have multiple paragraphs and block-level elements inside an admonition.
| Or | a | table | {{< /note >}}
{{< caution >}} Caution: The reader should proceed with caution. {{< /caution >}}
{{< warning >}} Warning: Warnings point out something that could cause harm if ignored. {{< /warning >}}
