Markdown Cheat Sheet

Headers:

Preface the words you want to be made into headers by 1 - 6 # symbols. The fewer the #, the bigger the font.

e.g:

# Biggest possible header

## Smaller header

###### Smallest header

Smallest header

###Lists:

To make an unordered list, preface words with an -.

e.g.:

Shopping list:
- eggs
- milk
- booze

Shopping list:

• eggs
• milk
• booze

To make an ordered list, preface words with a tab (2 spaces), and 1. Markdown will fill in the right number for you!

Code:

To include a code snippet inline with the other text, surround the characters with `.

e.g.:

In order to print code snippets `inline with other text`, surround it with a backtick on each side

In order to print code snippets inline with other text, surround the code snippet with a backtick on each side

To include a block of code separate from other text, surround the code with ```. If you want the code to be syntax highlighted, write the language name after the first ```

e.g.:

```javascript
console.log("This is code.");
var code = function () {
  return "This is even more code!";
}
```

console.log("This is code.");
var code = function () {
  return "This is even more code!";
}

Links:

To include a link that displays your chosen text instead of the link itself, surround the text you want displayed with [], followed immediately by the link in ().

e.g.:

Someone go to this link about [how to make burrata](http://www.foodrepublic.com/2014/04/29/you-can-totally-do-how-make-burrata) and make us all burrata!

Someone go to this link about how to make burrata and make us all burrata!

Images:

To include images, preface the image link with ![alt text] and immediately follow it by the link in ()

e.g.:

![dog developer](http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/234/765/b7e.jpg)
