This edubadges BadgeClass serves as an example to demonstrate the markdown options in the metadata fields and to give an explanation what to fill in the metadata fields. See the public Badge Class here.

Simple Markdown Examples

Edubadges supports a basic markup language called 'Markdown' which enables you to add some basic layout functions in your edubadges BadgeClasses.
The following table shows the markdown commands that you can use and the result how your browser will show this markdown element:

## Unordered Lists

+ Create a list by starting a line with `+`, `-`, or `*`
+ Sub-lists are made by indenting 2 spaces:
- Marker character change forces new list start:
* Ac tristique libero volutpat at
+ Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet
- Nulla volutpat aliquam velit
+ Very easy!

## Tables

Colons can be used to align columns.
>
| Tables        | Are           | Cool  |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| col 3 is      | right-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is      | centered      |   $12 |
| zebra stripes | are neat      |    $1 |
>
There must be at least 3 dashes separating each header cell.
The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the 
raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.
