1. Github Markdown Code
2. Github Markdown Language Listen

This tutorial covers Markdown lists - Ordered, unordered, syntax with examples. I'm Jason, a web applications developer in the Denver, Colorado area. Markdown doesn't natively support underlined text. If necessary you can hardcode it with the HTML tag ins (underlined text), however, it is inadvisable to do so. There are a few different ways to display links with markdown markup, but to keep some.

A collection of Markdown code and tricks that were tested to work in Gist.

This and all public gists in https://gist.github.com/ww9 are Public Domain. Do whatever you want with it including , no need to credit me.

Todo

• Reformat this whole document and assimilate these:
  • https://gist.github.com/t-nissie/9580883 (Add images, secret gists, anti-spam protection)
  • https://gist.github.com/cyhsutw/d5983d166fb70ff651f027b2aa56ee4e#file-mathjax-ipynb (Python notebook, Math syntax)

Table of Contents

Task lists

Result:

• Task 1
• Task 2
• Task 3

Collapsible content (spoilers)

Content between <details> and </details> is hidden. You need to escape HTML tags them.

Headers

H2

Github Markdown Code

H3

H4

H5

H6

Alternatively, for H1 and H2, an underline-ish style:

Alt-H2

Emphasis

Emphasis, aka italics, with asterisks or underscores.

Strong emphasis, aka bold, with asterisks or underscores.

Combined emphasis with asterisks and underscores.

Strikethrough uses two tildes. Scratch this.

Lists

1. First ordered list item
2. Another item

• Unordered sub-list.

1. Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number

2. Ordered sub-list

3. And another item.

   Some text that should be aligned with the above item.

• Unordered list can use asterisks

• Or minuses

• Or pluses

Links

There are two ways to create links.

Or leave it empty and use the link text itself

URLs and URLs in angle brackets will automatically get turned into links.http://www.example.com or http://www.example.com and sometimesexample.com (but not on Github, for example).

Some text to show that the reference links can follow later.

Code and Syntax Highlighting

Code blocks are part of the Markdown spec, but syntax highlighting isn't. However, many renderers -- like Github's and Markdown Here -- support syntax highlighting. Markdown Here supports highlighting for dozens of languages (and not-really-languages, like diffs and HTTP headers); to see the complete list, and how to write the language names, see the highlight.js demo page.

Inline code has back-ticks around it.

Blocks of code are either fenced by lines with three back-ticks ```, or are indented with four spaces. I recommend only using the fenced code blocks -- they're easier and only they support syntax highlighting.

Again, to see what languages are available for highlighting, and how to write those language names, see the highlight.js demo page.

Tables

Tables aren't part of the core Markdown spec, but they are part of GFM and Markdown Here supports them. They are an easy way of adding tables to your email -- a task that would otherwise require copy-pasting from another application.

Colons can be used to align columns.

The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.

Blockquotes

Blockquotes are very handy in email to emulate reply text.This line is part of the same quote.

Quote break.

This is a very long line that will still be quoted properly when it wraps. Oh boy let's keep writing to make sure this is long enough to actually wrap for everyone. Oh, you can putMarkdown into a blockquote.

Inline HTML

You can also use raw HTML in your Markdown, and it'll mostly work pretty well.

Definition list

Is something people use sometimes.

Markdown in HTML

Does *not* work **very** well. Use HTML tags.

Horizontal Rule

Three or more...

Hyphens

Asterisks

Underscores

Line Breaks

My basic recommendation for learning how line breaks work is to experiment and discover -- hit <Enter> once (i.e., insert one newline), then hit it twice (i.e., insert two newlines), see what happens. You'll soon learn to get what you want. 'Markdown Toggle' is your friend.

Here are some things to try out:

Here's a line for us to start with.

This line is separated from the one above by two newlines, so it will be a separate paragraph.

This line is also begins a separate paragraph, but...
This line is only separated by a single newline, so it's a separate line in the same paragraph.

(Technical note: Markdown Here uses GFM line breaks, so there's no need to use MD's two-space line breaks.)

YouTube Videos

They can't be added directly but you can add an image with a link to the video like this:

Or, in pure Markdown, but losing the image sizing and border:

TeX Mathematical Formulae

A full description of TeX math symbols is beyond the scope of this cheatsheet. Here's a good reference, and you can try stuff out on CodeCogs. You can also play with formulae in the Markdown Here options page.

Here are some examples to try out:

The beginning and ending dollar signs ($) are the delimiters for the TeX markup.
