Markdown is a lightweight and popular Markup language for writing a web page, blogs, documents by using a plain-text editor. It’s a simple way to format without any burden of changing font size, color, etc. Its files can easily be shared between different devices and people. I’ve used Jupyter Notebook for my work.

Writing

1. Bold
   
   To write in bold, we add two asterisks ‘**‘ before and after a word or sentence.  

   This is our very first introduction to **Markdown**.

   To make a particular word or sentence italic, we add underscores ‘_‘ before and after a word or sentence.

Headers

• It is used to attract towards a certain section.
• We’ve six types of header in markdown.
• To make a word or sentence header, we use ‘#‘ before starting.

For example

# Heading level 1

## Heading level 2

### Heading level 3

#### Heading level 4

##### Heading level 5

###### Heading level 6

Heading level 1

Heading level 2

Heading level 3

Heading level 4

Heading level 5

Heading level 6


Lists

• It is of two types- Ordered list and Unordered list.

1. Ordered list
   
   To create an ordered list, add line items with numbers followed by periods and it should always start with ‘1.‘
   

   1. list 1
   2. list 2

   1. list 1
   2. list 2
   
   What happens if we write the ordered list in this way:
   

   1. list 1
   3. list 2
   8. list 3
   5. list 4

   1. list 1
   2. list 2
   3. list 3
   4. list 4
   
   
2. Unordered list
   
   Simply add one asterisk ‘*‘ before and after a word or sentence.

   * list 1
   * list 2

   * list 1
   * list 2

Link

• To create a link, we enclose the link text in square brackets and then follow it immediately with the URL in parentheses.
• There are two ways to link:
  
  

1. Inline link
   
   

   1. list 1
   3. list 2
   8. list 3
   5. list 4

   Link to Computational Lab.
   
   
2. Reference link

Image

• It is just like the link, the only difference is that images are prefixed with an exclamation mark ‘!’.
• There are two ways for linking images:
  
  

1. Inline image link
   
   

   ![Victory](hooray.jpg  

   
   
2. Reference image link
     

   ![great][job]
   ![good][done]
   
   [job]: good.jpg
   [done]: em.jpg
   
   

   
   

Blockquote

• A blockquote is a sentence that is created to draw your attention.
• To create a blockquote you have to add a greater than ‘>’ sign before writing the sentence.

Paragraphs

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,  
Love like you'll never be hurt,  
Sing like there's nobody listening,  
And live like it's heaven on earth.”  
~ William W. Purkey

“You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching,
Love like you’ll never be hurt,
Sing like there’s nobody listening,
And live like it’s heaven on earth.”
~ William W. Purkey

Table

• The table contains the information in rows and columns.
• To construct a table we used vertical pipe ‘|’ to separate each column and hyphen symbol ‘-‘ to create a header.
