Lists

Creating lists in Homebrewery, using Markdown, is quite intuitive, and styling it isn’t half bad either. Homebrewery doesn’t add any special syntax for regular lists, but it does for definition lists (article to come soon). Markup Lists should contain content that is actually a list of related items, and there are basically two types of Lists

Injectors

Injectors are the third and final type of “curly brace” syntax that is unique to the Homebrewery, and they are used to “inject” the preceding element with it’s own attribute contents.

I’ll start with the most basic of tables using standard Markdown Markdown, Homebrewery, and Tables
