How to format a recipe

We're using the Markdown format.

Quickstart

First **write a short introduction** for the recipe.

Next, start the **list of ingredients**. Each ingredient goes into a list item. A list item starts with an asterisk and a space.

Finally, **write a few paragraphs** on how to prepare the recipe.

An empty line separates paragraphs.

Example:

Buttered toast is easy to make!


	
bread for toasting
	
butter


Toast the bread in a toaster, or on a grill.

Spread some butter on top.

Emphasis

Enclose something in asterisks for emphasis (usually italic):

`*emphasis*` → *emphasis*

Enclose something in double asterisks for strong emphasis (usually bold):

`**strong emphasis**` → **strong emphasis**

Linking

Enclose something in double square brackets for a link:

`[[Tyrolean Cake]]` → Tyrolean Cake.

Tyrolean Cake

An asterisk or a minus sign at the beginning of a paragraph (followed by a space) create a list item.

Two column format

This is optional!

In order to create a recipe in table format use the following template and add more "ingredient:" and "step:" lines as required.

| Ingredients        | Notes              |
|--------------------|--------------------|
| an ingredient      |                    |
| another ingredient | what to do with it |

+--------------------+--------------------+
