Learning Markdown

  1. Enclose words/sentences inside _ to make it italic. For example "_red_" will display as "red";

  2. Enclose words/sentences inside ** to make it bold. ( "**bold**" becomes "bold");

  3. Headers are available from level 1 to level 6, 1 being the largest. # for level 1 and ###### for level 6.

  4. Headers can't be bold, but can be Italic

  5. There are two ways to create a link.

For example, [a link to github] [github link]

[github link]: https://www.github.com (This should be placed(not necessarily, but for your own convenience at the bottom of the markdown). Later, when we want to change the link, we can only change it at one place. Would produce: a link to github

For a reference image, you'll follow the same pattern as a reference link. You'll precede the Markdown with an exclamation point, then provide two brackets for the alt text, and then two more for the image tag, like this:

![The founding father][Father]

At the bottom of your Markdown page, you'll define an image for the tag, like this:

[Father]: http://octodex.github.com/images/founding-father.jpg.
