Mastering Markdown:

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; change the format of the text, adding lists and much more, you can use Markdown in GitHub.

Example:

    ###### Hello World
    **Bold text**
    - list item

The results:

Hello World

Bold text

• list item

Syntax guide:

1. Headers:

# This is a header 1.
## This is a header 2.
###### This is a header 6.

2. Emphasis:

*italic text*
**bold text**

-You can also use _ for italic and __ for bold.

3. Lists:

1. Unorderd list:

   -list item1 -list item2 -list item3

2. Orderd list:

   1. list item1
   2. list item2
   3. list item3

4. Images:

![Image description](/image url or path)
Format: ![Alt Text](Alt image path or url)

5. Links:

http://github.com - automatic link!
[GitHub](http://github.com)

6. Blockquotes:

We write > before the paragraph.

>Quoted text. or
> Quoted text.
Both methods will give the same result.

#### Example:

As Albert Einstein once said :

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

7. Inline code:

I think you have to use
`<code>` instead of `<code>`.

8. Tables:

First Header | Second Header
------------ | -------------
  cell 1 |   cell 2
Content in the first column | Content in the second column

The result of above:

• Extra notes:

1. Mentioning: Typing an @ symbol, followed by a username, will notify that person to come and view the comment. You can also @mention teams within an organization.

2. Automatic linking: Any URL (like http://www.github.com/) will be automatically converted into a clickable link.

3. Strikethrough: Any word wrapped with two tildes “” (like ~~this) will appear crossed out.

4. Emoji: GitHub supports emoji! To see a list of every image we support, check out the Emoji Cheet Sheet.
