Markdown Cheet Sheet

Markdown is a powerful and simple approach to document blog postings. It enables one to write in a plain text format and transfers them into clean, web-standard HTMLs.

Headings

Headings start with a # symbol. The largest one comes with one # and the second large one with 2 #.

Paragraphs

Like latex, new paragraph is seperated with the previous one using a blank row in between.

This is another paragraph.

Bold on one word or serveral words together can be achieved by adding ** on two sides.

itshape is done by adding one * on each side of the word.
