Markdown Cheatsheet

Hi Everyone! Welcome back

In this article, we will learn about markdown syntax which helps you in presenting information about GitHub repos to the world. It's a way of presenting the content and sharing relevant metadata. It is not any programming language.

Markdown is written with a syntax of .md . Generally, for GitHub repos README.md is the default name for the markdown.

Headings : Markdown provides us six different headings. For respective size of heading we need to add that much number of pound(#) symbol.

# Heading 1

## Heading 2

### Heading 3

#### Heading 4

##### Heading 5

###### Heading 6

Bold: Markdown wraps the text around a double asterisk(**) to make the text bold.

**text**

Italic: Markdown wraps the text around an asterisk(*) to make the text look slanting.

*text*

Blockquote: Text is written after greater than (> ) symbol to display text in a certain block.

> text to be written

> this is a blockquote text. Random text is written to showcase the demo about the bloackquote

List : Markdown allows us to write ordered and unordered list
- Unordered list: Text written after hyphen(- ) is considered as an unordered list item.
```
 - HTML
 - CSS
 - Javascript
 - Git
```
- Ordered list: Text written after specific counting is considered as ordered list item.
```
1. HTML
2. CSS
3. Javascript
4. Git
```

Note: Correct sequence of counting does not matter in ordered list. Markdown takes care of it.

Code: To present actual programming language code snippet, write the code within write code here.

for(let i = 0 ; i <= 5 ; i++ ){
    console.log(i)
}

print("Hello World")

To display certain keyword of the programming language, write the code within backticks (keyword here)

`let`

`var`

Link: To add any link we use the following syntax:

Syntax: [text](Link address)

[linkedin link](https://www.linkedin.com/in/akshitagarg275/)

[github link](https://www.github.com/in/akshitagarg275/)

Image: ** To add any image we use the following syntax:

Syntax: ![text](image path)

![LCO mascot](https://learncodeonline.in/mascot.png)

Horizontal rule: Triple hyphens (---) are used to provide horizontal rule.

## This is an image
---

![LCO mascot](https://learncodeonline.in/mascot.png)

Strikethrough: Text is wrapped around double tilde (~~ text here ~~) to get a strikethrough.

~~999Rs~~ 299Rs

Table: Tables are not recommended in markdown.
