I want to describe directory & file structures in some of my Jekyll blog posts, does Markdown provide a neat way of outputting such a thing?
For example, you can see at this link on the Jekyll website that the directory & file structure is output on the page very neatly:
. ├── _config.yml ├── _drafts │ ├── begin-with-the-crazy-ideas.textile │ └── on-simplicity-in-technology.markdown ├── _includes │ ├── footer.html │ └── header.html ├── _layouts │ ├── default.html │ └── post.html ├── _posts │ ├── 2007-10-29-why-every-programmer-should-play-nethack.textile │ └── 2009-04-26-barcamp-boston-4-roundup.textile ├── _data │ └── members.yml ├── _site └── index.html I believe the line block characters above are Unicode (as described in this answer here), but I am not sure how Markdown or different browsers will handle them. I was hoping that Markdown had included some way of doing this which outputs as the Unicode characters above perhaps.

In computing, a directory is a file system cataloging structure which contains references to other computer files, and possibly other directories. On many computers, directories are known as folders, or drawers, analogous to a workbench or the traditional office filing cabinet.
Tree command to generate nested directory structure with markdown. Copy the output to the markdown file and enclose it in three backticks(```markdown) and end with three backticks. And another way is to `pre tag in HTML which preserves the line breaks and spaces. Html tags work in HTML files.
I followed an example in another repository and wrapped the directory structure within a pair of triple backticks (```):
``` project │ README.md │ file001.txt │ └───folder1 │ │ file011.txt │ │ file012.txt │ │ │ └───subfolder1 │ │ file111.txt │ │ file112.txt │ │ ... │ └───folder2 │ file021.txt │ file022.txt ``` If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
