Markdown Basics

In my search for a good way to digitise my notes with equations I have come across Markdown as an option. Jupyter Notebooks support it so this may be a promising solution. It is another ‘language’ to learn but at least the basics not related to equations are extremely simple.

Headings in Mardown start with a # sign. 1 #for the largest heading#, 2 ##signs for a slightly smaller one## and so on.
To start a new paragraph type 2 spaces followed by enter.
Italic text is surround by * symbols like *italic*, bold text by 2 ** like **bold**
Quotations start with >
You can create unorderder lists by using * and – signs
To create an ordered list use numbers followed by . like 1.
You can creat links using braces like [a website](https://www.website.com)
