MarkDown

Markdown

Markdown is a lightweight markup language. With the help of markdown we can make up the look of plain text in a rich way in a text editor easily. Widely used for Github READMe files,websites,emails etc.

Headings

If u know html, there we will have 6 levels of headings varying with size and boldness.

Here in MarkDown we will use no.of ‘#’ to represent size ,like
“# heading 1” similar to h1

    # heading 1  
    
    ## heading 2  
    .
    .
    ###### heading 6

# heading 1 ## heading 2
. . upto 6 ###### heading 6

Note:- Always use space between ‘#’ and heading sentence

Bold text

#### < strong > in html

For **bold** use two *'s before and after word

For bold use two *’s before and after word

Italic

#### < em > in html
For *italic* use one * before and after word

For italic use one * before and after word

Note:- We can use ‘ _ ‘ in place of ‘ * ‘ for bold and italic

Bold & Italic

#### < strong >< em > < /em >< strong > or #### < em >< strong > < /strong >< /em >

Use three *'s before and after word. This is ***bold and italic***

This is bold and italic

Paragraphs

##### < p > in html

We simply don't need any syntax for paragraphs

But to separate lines use a blank line 

Note:- Don’t indent paragraphs.

Line Breaks

##### < br > in html

    This is first line.
    This is second line
    (Here I am using "Enter" to separate lines but MarkDown don't actually break line there )

output: This is first line. This is second line

Use two or more spaces after a line and then use Enter

First Line  
Second Line

Output:
First Line
Second Line

Blockquotes

add > infront of paragraph

> this line is blockquoted  

this line is blockquoted

Blockquotes (Multiple Paragrahs)

>This is first paragraph in blockquote

>This is second one

output:

This is first paragraph in blockquote

This is second one

Whenever there are two or more paragraphs seoarated by blank line use > fot that blank line too

>This is first paragraph in blockquote
>
>This is second one

output:

This is first paragraph in blockquote

This is second one

Sub Blocks

>This is first paragraph in blockquote
>
>>This is second one and sub block

output:

This is first paragraph in blockquote

This is second one and sub block

Lists

#### < ul > and < ol > in html

For ordered lists in markdown

use numbers before items 
order of numbers doesn't matter but we should start with 1.

1. item1
2. item2
4. item3
    1. sub item 1
    2. sub item 2

output:-

1. item1
2. item2
3. item3
   1. sub item 1
   2. sub item 2

For unordered lists in markdown

use '-' or '+' or '*'  before items 

+ item1
* item2
- item3
    - sub item 1

output:-

• item1
• item2
• item3
  • sub item 1

Note:- Use Indentation for sub lists

Code

#### < code > in html `code`

code

Code Blocks

Indent every line of block by a tab space

code 1
code 2

Horizontal rules

#### < hr > in html

Use 3 or more *’s or _’s or -‘s

    ---
    *****
    ______

Ouput:

---

---

---

Note:-

  Line1
--- (for horizontal rule)
Line2

Output:

Line1

Line2

This is unexpected right!!

maintain space between them

  Line1
--- (for horizontal rule)
Line2

Output:

Line1

---

Line2

Links

[Title](link)
[My Website](https://rajasekharguptha.github.io)

For mails add "mailto:" to mail
[mail](mailto:rajasekharguptha.in@gmail.com)

Output:

Without Title:

<link/mail>
<https://rajasekharguptha.github.io>
