+			<h1>DataTables example <span>Fuzzy Searching</span></h1>
+			<div class="info">
+				<p>Fuzzy searching is used in search engines and databases to perform searches that will match results that are not necessarily exactly the same as the search
+				term. This allows spelling mistakes and typos to be accounted for. It also allows small changes in dialect not to affect search results. A commonly used example is
+				for surname searching. "Smith" and "Smythe" are pronounced the same way, but using conventional searching typing "Smith" would not return "Smythe".</p>
+				<p>This plug-in adds fuzzy search functionality to datatables. It does this through a combination of exact matching and the <a href=
+				"https://github.com/tad-lispy/node-damerau-levenshtein">damerau-levenshtein algorithm</a>. There are four initialisation options that are associated with this
+				plugin.</p>
+				<ul class="markdown">
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.toggleSmart</code> allows the searching to be changed from exact matching to fuzzy searching.</li>
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.rankColumn</code> allows the % match to be set in a column within the datatable. Some examples of use cases could be to display the value
+					to the user. or to hide the column and order based on it - as a search engine would.</li>
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.threshold</code> allows the value of similarity that is required from the damerau-levenshtein function to display the row to be
+					changed.</li>
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.returnSearch</code> allows the option for searching to only occur when the enter key is pressed.</li>
+				</ul>

+			<div class="info">
+				<p>Fuzzy searching is used in search engines and databases to perform searches that will match results that are not necessarily exactly the same as the search
+				term. This allows spelling mistakes and typos to be accounted for. It also allows small changes in dialect not to affect search results. A commonly used example is
+				for surname searching. "Smith" and "Smythe" are pronounced the same way, but using conventional searching typing "Smith" would not return "Smythe".</p>
+				<p>This plug-in adds fuzzy search functionality to datatables. It does this through a combination of exact matching and the <a href=
+				"https://github.com/tad-lispy/node-damerau-levenshtein">damerau-levenshtein algorithm</a>. There are four initialisation options that are associated with this
+				plugin.</p>
+				<ul class="markdown">
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.toggleSmart</code> allows the searching to be changed from exact matching to fuzzy searching.</li>
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.rankColumn</code> allows the % match to be set in a column within the datatable. Some examples of use cases could be to display the value
+					to the user. or to hide the column and order based on it - as a search engine would.</li>
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.threshold</code> allows the value of similarity that is required from the damerau-levenshtein function to display the row to be
+					changed.</li>
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.returnSearch</code> allows the option for searching to only occur when the enter key is pressed.</li>

+			<h1>DataTables example <span>Fuzzy Searching</span></h1>
+			<div class="info">
+				<p>Fuzzy searching is used in search engines and databases to perform searches that will match results that are not necessarily exactly the same as the search
+				term. This allows spelling mistakes and typos to be accounted for. It also allows small changes in dialect not to affect search results. A commonly used example is
+				for surname searching. "Smith" and "Smythe" are pronounced the same way, but using conventional searching typing "Smith" would not return "Smythe".</p>
+				<p>This plug-in adds fuzzy search functionality to datatables. It does this through a combination of exact matching and the <a href=
+				"https://github.com/tad-lispy/node-damerau-levenshtein">damerau-levenshtein algorithm</a>. There are four initialisation options that are associated with this
+				plugin.</p>
+				<ul class="markdown">
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.toggleSmart</code> allows the searching to be changed from exact matching to fuzzy searching.</li>
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.rankColumn</code> allows the % match to be set in a column within the datatable. Some examples of use cases could be to display the value
+					to the user. or to hide the column and order based on it - as a search engine would.</li>
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.threshold</code> allows the value of similarity that is required from the damerau-levenshtein function to display the row to be
+					changed.</li>
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.returnSearch</code> allows the option for searching to only occur when the enter key is pressed.</li>
+				</ul>

+			<h1>DataTables example <span>Fuzzy Searching</span></h1>
+			<div class="info">
+				<p>Fuzzy searching is used in search engines and databases to perform searches that will match results that are not necessarily exactly the same as the search
+				term. This allows spelling mistakes and typos to be accounted for. It also allows small changes in dialect not to affect search results. A commonly used example is
+				for surname searching. "Smith" and "Smythe" are pronounced the same way, but using conventional searching typing "Smith" would not return "Smythe".</p>
+				<p>This plug-in adds fuzzy search functionality to datatables. It does this through a combination of exact matching and the <a href=
+				"https://github.com/tad-lispy/node-damerau-levenshtein">damerau-levenshtein algorithm</a>. There are four initialisation options that are associated with this
+				plugin.</p>
+				<ul class="markdown">
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.toggleSmart</code> allows the searching to be changed from exact matching to fuzzy searching.</li>
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.rankColumn</code> allows the % match to be set in a column within the datatable. Some examples of use cases could be to display the value
+					to the user. or to hide the column and order based on it - as a search engine would.</li>
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.threshold</code> allows the value of similarity that is required from the damerau-levenshtein function to display the row to be
+					changed.</li>
+					<li><code>fuzzySearch.returnSearch</code> allows the option for searching to only occur when the enter key is pressed.</li>
+				</ul>
