Special Markdown

Number-based media specification

After you upload media files (image or viode files), you can specify them with a notation like %1.

![](%1)

is interpreted as

<img src="your_image_01.jpg" />

Support <video> tag

$[](your_movie.mp4)

is interpreted as

<video src="your_movie.mp4" controls></video>

In addition, you can upload source code file as well as media files. Specifying a source file with %1 will be replaced by the source code

Parallel video play

You can play multiple videos by placing them into a blackquote block and use a special markdown '''[Play]'''.

For example, following code will provide a play button for two videos put into a table.

>| A | B |
|:-:|:-:|
|$[](%1)|$[](%2)|
[Play]
