Markdown Cheat Sheet

Bold: ** or __ on each side of text.

Example **This is bold text** or __This is bold text__

Italic: * or _ on each side of text

Example . *This is Italic text* or _This is italic text_ or combined **_This is italic bold text_** . (note some fonts might not support this but most do)

Image: ![image name](image url) or select an image from the toolbar.

Link: [link title](link url). Links are also detected automatically.

List: + or * at the start of a line. Add more + or * symbols to increase the indent level

Example

  • + This is my first bullet
  • ++ This increases the bullet indent level
  • + This is my third bullet
  • +++ This is my increased bullet indent level by 3
  • Quote: > at the start of a line. Extra > symbols increase indent.

    Example

  • > This is quoted
  • > text
  • Header: # at the start of a line. Extra # symbols change the header level lower. 6 sizes of header level are supported.

    # header level 1

    ## header level 2

    ### header level 3

    #### header level 4

    ##### header level 5
    ###### header level 6

    Code: ` on each side of text

    `This is my block of code or text that will be indented and with a white background and purple text color`

    Text color: (#hex color code). Switch to previous color using the closing tag: (#).

    (#0000FF)This my blue __bold__ text color(#)

    Pro tips

    + To treat a special markdown character as regular text, precede it with a \.

    + Use the indent and outdent buttons in the toolbar* to change the level of your current quote, header, or list item. 

    + If you use the toolbar* bold button to insert bold text, pressing the bold button again will advance you past the closing bold tag. This also works for italics and code.
