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. Image of Yaktocat

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.

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)
