Basic Techniques in Markdown

This is my first post.

I am going to practice and introduce some basic techniques in Markdown. So, Let’s get started!!

Italics and Bold

• To make the pharse italics in Markdown, you need to surround words with an underscore (_).

  For example:

  _The New England Journal of Medicine_

  Result:

  The New England Journal of Medicine

• To make the pharse bold in Markdown, one must surround words with two asterisks(**).

  For example:

  **The New England Journal of Medicine**

  Result:

  The New England Journal of Medicine

Header

• To make headers in Markdown, you have to preface the phrase with a hash mark (#). The smaller size of the header you want, the fewer numbers of hash marks you place.

For example:

# This is header 1

## This is header 2

### This is header 3

#### This is header 4

##### This is header 5

###### This is header 6

Result:

This is header 1

This is header 2

This is header 3

This is header 4

This is header 5

This is header 6

Links and Images

• To make links to other web sites on the world wide web, you wrap the link text in brackets ([]), and then you wrap the link in parenthesis (( )).

  For example:

  [Markdown 語法說明](http://markdown.tw/ "Title")

  Result:

  Markdown 語法說明

• The syntax is nearly the same in creating images. The difference between links and images is that images are prefaced with an exclamation point ( ! ).

  For example:

  ![Lebron James](https://s22928.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/lebron-james-3.jpg)

  Result:

  

Blockquotes

• If you would like to refer the pharse from a celebrity, then Markdown’s blockquote syntax will be useful, just preface a line with the “greater than” caret (>).

  For example:

  > Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.

  Result:

  Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.

Listing

• To make an unordered list, preface each item in the list with an asterisk ( * ).

  For example:

  * Boy
* Girl

  Result:

  • Boy
  • Girl

• To make an unordered list, preface each item in the list with a number ( 1. ).

  For example:

  1. Tomato
2. Banana
3. Pineapple
  

  Result:

  1. Tomato
  2. Banana
  3. Pineapple

• If you need to make a list with more depth, just indent each asterisk with one space.

  For example:

  * Tomato

    * Banana

      * Pineapple

  Result:

• Tomato

  • Banana
    • Pineapple

CheckBox

• To create a check box, you need to preface words with (- [ ] or - [X]).

  For example:

  - [x] This is complete item

  - [ ] This is incomplete item

  Result:

  • This is complete item

  • This is incomplete item
