-### Example Usage
+## Kramdown
+
+Kramdown is the default Markdown renderer for Jekyll, and often works well with no additional configuration. However, it does support many configuration options.
+
+### GitHub Flavored Markdown
+
+Kramdown supports GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM). To use GFM with Kramdown in Jekyll, add the following to your configuration.
+
+```yaml
+kramdown:
+  input: GFM
+```
+
+GFM supports additional Kramdown options, documented at [kramdown-parser-gfm](https://github.com/kramdown/parser-gfm). These options can be used directly in your Kramdown Jekyll config, like this:
+
+```yaml
+kramdown:
+  input: GFM
+  gfm_quirks: [paragraph_end]
+```
+
+### Syntax Highlighting (CodeRay)
+
+To use the [CodeRay](http://coderay.rubychan.de/) syntax highlighter with Kramdown, you  need to add a dependency on the `kramdown-syntax-coderay` gem. For example, `bundle add kramdown-syntax-coderay`. Then, you'll be able to specify CodeRay in your `syntax_highlighter` config:
+
+```yaml
+kramdown:
+  syntax_highlighter: coderay
+```
+
+CodeRay supports several of its own configuration options, documented in the [kramdown-syntax-coderay docs](https://github.com/kramdown/syntax-coderay) which can be passed as `syntax_highlighter_opts` like this:
+
+```yaml
+kramdown:
+  syntax_highlighter: coderay
+  syntax_highlighter_opts:
+    line_numbers: table
+    bold_every: 5
+```
+
+### Advanced Kramdown Options
+
+Kramdown supports a variety of other relatively advanced options such as `header_offset` and `smart_quotes`. These are documented in the [Kramdown configuration documentation](https://kramdown.gettalong.org/options.html) and can be added to your Kramdown config like this:
+
 ```yaml
 kramdown:
-  html_to_native: true
+  header_offset: 2
 ```
-  
+
 <div class="note warning">
-  <h5>There are two unsupported kramdown options</h5>
+  <h5>There are several unsupported kramdown options</h5>
   <p>
-    Please note that both <code>remove_block_html_tags</code> and
-    <code>remove_span_html_tags</code> are currently unsupported in Jekyll due
-    to the fact that they are not included within the kramdown HTML converter.
+    Please note that Jekyll uses Kramdown's HTML converter. Kramdown options used only by other converters, such as <code>remove_block_html_tags</code> (used by the RemoveHtmlTags converter), will not work.
   </p>
 </div>
 
-For more details about these options have a look at the [Kramdown configuration documentation](https://kramdown.gettalong.org/options.html).

-### CommonMark
+## CommonMark
 
 [CommonMark](https://commonmark.org/) is a rationalized version of Markdown syntax, implemented in C and thus faster than default Kramdown implemented in Ruby. It [slightly differs](https://github.com/commonmark/CommonMark#differences-from-original-markdown) from original Markdown and does not support all the syntax elements implemented in Kramdown, like [Block Inline Attribute Lists](https://kramdown.gettalong.org/syntax.html#block-ials).
