Labeled URL [label](https://triply.cc) label

Notice that URLs can also be relative. This allows you to refer to other datasets, saved queries, etc. by using relative paths.

Code

There are options for formatting in-line code as well as multi-line code blocks.

In-line code

Code can also be used in-line with single backticks:

Use `code` inside a sentence.

Multi-line code blocks

Multi-line code blocks start and end with three consecutive backticks. The following Markdown denotes a SPARQL code block:

select * {
  graph ?g {
    ?s ?p ?o.
  }
}

The above is rendered as follows:

select * {
  graph ?g {
    ?s ?p ?o.
  }
}

Code language

The opening backticks are optionally following by the name of the code language. The following code languages are supported:

Language Syntax
SPARQL sparql
Turtle ttl
TypeScript typescript
R r
Python python

The other supported languages are: Bash (bash), C (c), C++ (cpp), C# (csharp), Extended Backus-Naur Form (ebnf), Go (go), Haskell (haskell), Java (java), JavaScript (javascript), LaTeX (latex), Makefile (makefile), Markdown (markdown), Objective C (objectivec), Pascal (pascal), Perl (perl), Powershell (powershell), Prolog (prolog), Regular Expression (regex), Ruby (ruby), Scala (scala), SQL (sql), Yaml (yaml).
