In other words, it's a way to format plaintext in a way that is easy to read and write as plaintext, and which a program like Jekyll can then take and format easily.\n\nA lot of sites use markdown. You may have seen it in blog comments, reddit posts, or GitHub issues. It's popular because it's so easy to use. GitHub Pages and Jekyll use markdown to define the content of websites so you don't have to write HTML and CSS unless you're redesigning the site.\n\nIn this lesson, we're going to go over the basics of markdown, as well as some GitHub-specific features. By the end, you'll be able to use markdown not only to produce beautiful Jekyll sites, but also around the web.\n\n---\n\n## Basic Text Formatting\n\n### Paragraphs\nLet's start simple. Most text in markdown is just written as plaintext. To create a new paragraph, simply hit the \"return/enter\" button twice to create a blank line between your two paragraphs.\n\n    This is a paragraph.\n    \n    This is another paragraph.\n\n> This is a paragraph.\n> \n> This is another paragraph.\n\n### Bold\nSay you're writing a message, and you want one part to be highlighted to the recipient is more likely to pay attention to it. You bold the message. In markdown, you bold text by wrapping it in two asterixes.\n\n    This text is plain, **this text is bold**.\n\n> This text is plain, **this text is bold**.\n\nThe wrapped text will end up bold in the final project.\n\n### Italics\nIf you want to italitize some text, you can wrap it with a single underscore character on each side.\n\n    We're reading _My Brilliant Friend_ in our book club this month.\n\n> We're reading _My Brilliant Friend_ in our book club this month.\n\nUsing a single asterisk will also work if you don't like the looks of the underscore character.\n\n### Strikeout\nYou can also strike out text by using two tildes to wrap the text.\n\n    This ~~text will appear striked out~~.\n\n> This ~~text will appear striked out~~.\n\n### Formatting across paragraphs.\nBolding, italicizing, and striking out are all line-level formats. That is to say, they won't work across paragraphs. For instance, if you want to bold two whole paragraphs, you'll have to separately mark each one as bolded.\n\n    **Bold paragraph the first.**\n    \n    **Bold paragraph the second.**\n\n> **Bold paragraph the first.**\n> \n> **Bold paragraph the second.**\n\n### Headers\nHeaders are created using hash marks before the text designed to be a header. The entire paragraph will become a header. A header can have one to six hash marks before it. The more hashes, the smaller the header will be.\n\n    # Title\n    \n    ## Introduction\n    \n    This is the introduction text.\n    \n    ## Chapter 1\n    \n    This is the first chapter's text.\n\n> # Title\n> \n> ## Introduction\n> \n> This is the introduction text.\n> \n> ## Chapter 1\n> \n> This is the first chapter's text.\n\nAll of the headers look like this: \n\n    # Header 1\n    \n    ## Header 2\n    \n    ### Header 3\n    \n    #### Header 4\n    \n    ##### Header 5\n    \n    ###### Header 6\n    \n    ####### Not a header\n\n---\n\n## Document formatting\n\nSometimes you need to do more than just make paragraphs and mark up the text inside of them. Markdown includes methods for creating lists, quoted text, and more.\n\n### Lists\n\nThere are two types of lists in markdown, **ordered lists** and **unordered lists**.\n\n#### Unordered Lists\n\nTo create an unordered list, you put an asterix at the beginning of each new item in the list, and separate the items by a single new line.\n\n    * Item 1\n    * Item 2\n    * Item 3\n\n> * Item 1\n> * Item 2\n> * Item 3\n\nUnordered lists have a bullet placed before each item.\n\nDashes and pluses can also be used to create list items, so this is a valid list:\n\n    - Item 1\n    + Item 2\n    * Item 3\n\nSome people prefer to use dashes or plus symbols because they are not used anywhere else in markdown formatting, but others prefer to use the asterisk because it looks more like a bullet. The choice is up to you!\n\n#### Ordered Lists\n\nTo create an ordered lists, instead of putting an asterisk, dash, or plus before the list item, you put a number and a period.\n\n    1. Item 1\n    2. Item 2\n    3. Item 3\n\n> 1. Item 1\n> 2. Item 2\n> 3. Item 3\n\nNo matter what order you place the numbers in your plaintext file, markdown will generate the correct numbers in the displayed version.\n\n    10. Item 1\n    2. Item 2\n    9. Item 3\n\nThis markup will still generate a  list that looks like this:\n\n> 10. Item 1\n> 2. Item 2\n> 9. Item 3\n\n#### List formatting\n\nWhether ordered or unordered, all lists follow some simple rules.\n\nYou can embed sub-lists inside others by indenting the sub-lists.\n\n    * Item 1\n    * Item 2\n      * Sub-item 1\n      * Sub-item 2\n    * Item 3\n\nIf you embed an ordered list inside another list, the numerical ordering will be unique for each sub-list.\n\n    1. Item 1\n    2. Item 2\n      1. Sub-item 1\n      2. Sub-item 2\n    3. Item 3\n      1. Sub-item 1\n      2. Sub-item 2\n\nPlacing one or two newlines between list items will format the lists differently. Two newlines will space the items further part.\n\n    1. Item 1\n    2. Item 2\n\n> 1. Item 1\n> 2. Item 2\n\n    1. Item 1\n    \n    2. Item 2\n\n> 1. Item 1\n> \n> 2. Item 2\n\nYou can include multiple paragraphs inside of a list by indenting the paragraphs by two spaces.\n\n    1. Item 1, paragraph 1\n      \n      Item 1, paragraph 2\n    2. Item 2\n\n> 1. Item 1, paragraph 1\n>   \n>   Item 1, paragraph 2\n> 2. Item 2\n\n\n### Blockquotes\n\nSometimes you want to quote a large chunk of text and put it off from the rest of the text. Blockquotes are a way to do this. To create a blockquote, add an greater-than sign at the beginning of the line of the paragraph you want to quote.\n\nBlockquotes can be nested by adding multiple greater-than signs.\n\n    Regular text.\n    \n    > A quoted paragraph.\n    > \n    > Another quoted paragraph.\n    > \n    > > Whoa nested blockquotes.\n    > \n    > Final paragraph.\n\n> Regular text.\n> \n> > A quoted paragraph.\n> > \n> > Another quoted paragraph.\n> > \n> > > Whoa nested blockquotes.\n> > \n> > Final paragraph.\n\nBlockquotes can be used in a variety of ways. For instance, we're using blockquotes to show how code will look once formatted.\n\n### Code\n\nThere are two ways to demarkate code in your text.\n\nCode will display in a monospaced font, and will escape any markdown formatting (so that you see the actual characters, not formatted text).\n\n#### In-line Code\n\nYou can wrap a line of code in back-tic marks to make that line show up in a monospaced font.\n\n    To **bold text**, `add **two asterisks**`.\n\n> To **bold text**, `add **two asterisks**`.\n\n\n#### Code Blocks\n\nIf you add 4 spaces at the beginning of a line, markdown will treat that whole line as code. Any spaces that you indent beyond the 4 will show up to the user, so that you can show embedded code blocks.\n\n        * List item 1\n        * List item 2\n          * List sub-item 1\n\n>     * List item 1\n>     * List item 2\n>       * List sub-item 1\n\n\n## Links, Images, and HTML\n\n### Links\n\nLinks are the lifeblood of the internet. Linking to other pages on your own site, and other sites on the internet, is a vital function. You can easily create links in markdown.\n\nThe link syntax looks like this:\n\n    [Go to GitHub](http://github.com).\n\nWhich produces the following link:\n\n> [Go to GitHub](http://github.com).\n\nLet's break that down. Inside the brackets, you find the text you want to display to the user. Directly after the brackets (no spaces!), you put a URL inside parentheses. This URL must start with `http://` or `https://`, or the link won't form.\n\n\n### Images\n\nImages work similarly to links.\n\n    ![A red panda.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Lesser_panda_standing.jpg)\n\n> ![A red panda.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/Lesser_panda_standing.jpg)\n\nImportantly, the image link begins with an exclamation point. Without this, you'll simply link to an image.\n\nAfter that comes the alternate text. Unlike with a link, this text will not be visible to most users. However, if the image does not load, or if the user uses a text-to-speech screen reader, then the text will become available to the user. Finally, you include a URL of the image itself just like you would of a link.\n\nImages will show up as their original size, so it's recommended that you use small images. If you're good at web design, then you can resize them using the CSS files.\n\n\n### HTML\n\nMarkdown works by being turned into HTML for your browser to read. As such, you can include HTML in your markdown documents, and it will work just fine. For instance, if you wanted to make sure that a link opened in a new window or tab, you could include the following markdown:\n\n    Check out our [store](http://store.com)!\n    \n    It's a lot better than our <a href=\"http://competitorsstore.com\" target=\"_blank\">competitor's store</a>.\n\nThe first link would load normally, and the second (because of the `target=\"_blank\"` attribute) would load in a new window or tab.\n\nWe're not going to go into the details of HTML in this course, but if you'd like to learn more we're recommend check out one of the free tutorials online.\n"}}
