Mastering Markdown

What is Markdown?

• Markdown is a way to style text on the web.
• A way to control the display of the document

  Ways to display your document

• Formatting words as Bold or Italic.
• Adding images and creating lists but there are many more that you could do.

  You can use Markdown most places around Github:

• Gists
• Comments in Issues and Pulll Requests
• Files with the .md or .markdown extension
• You can view more information on “Writing on GitHub” in the GitHub Help.

Examples

Text

• You can make words Bold ( ** ), italic ( * ), and you can even link to google

Lists

• You could even number, bullet point, and dash your list also. Just like my notes hehe

Images

• Adding images in markdown is like the same process of adding a link but add ( ! ) before inserting image.

Headers & Quotes

• ( # ) is used to Structure your documents
• Super useful to have different levels of headings to organize you documents.
• You can use multiple headings (up to six) to change it’s size of the font.
• To Quote use the > character before the line.

• You are a Gift from God. What you become is a Gift to God. -Unknown

Code

• There are many different ways to style code with GitHub’s markdown.
• If you have Inline code blocks you could wrap them in backticks.
• This character ( ` ) is a backtick. Example

var example = true

• If you got a longer block of code you can indent with four spaces. Example

if (isAwesome){
    return true
}

• If you’d like to use syntax highlight, include the langauge like javascript for example. (```javascript)
