About markdown
The markdown standard in forb is `CommonMark` with tables.
| Line 1, Column A - Title line in Bold | Column B - Title line in Bold |
| Line 2, A | 2B |
!(title)[%baseurl/images/img.png]
When baseurl="/blog", write:
!(title)[/blog/images/img.png]
- Link to another post in blog:
[another post](_%baseurl{% post_url POST_FILENAME_WITHOUT_MARKDOWN_EXTENSION %})
Keep "_%baseurl", forb replaces it with the value in _config.yml,
after post_url write the post filename to be linked without ".markdown":
