#Markdown CheatSheet

This is a simple tutorial to provide a refresher to Markdown and a reference to the most frequently used sintax.
Here there is a short interactive markdown tutorial to try.
This is a link to John Gruber site, the creator of markdown, for a more exaustive list of the sintax.
Below you can find a small cheat sheet with some sintax present in the interactive tutorial, for quick reference.

Further text formatting

If you want to achieve some effects that are not covered by basic Markdown syntax, you can embed standard html tags in Markdown and use inline css.

For example if you want to have text wrapping around an image you could do the following, replace:

![karate kata gif](https://45.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m67my3RMlA1rvcjd7o1_400.gif)

with:

<img  src="https://45.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m67my3RMlA1rvcjd7o1_400.gif" alt="karate kata gif" style="float: right; padding-left: 1%">

Beware that what showed above will not work on GitHub due to Github Markdown Limitation. GitHub accepts html tags in the Markdown, but for consistency/safety reasons it strips the 'style' parameter. See here for a better explanation.

CheatSheet

• italics

• _myWord_ --> myWord

• _myWord1 myWord2_ --> myWord1 myWord2

• bold

• **myWord** --> myWord

• **myWord1 myWord2** --> myWord1 myWord2

• header
  The number of hashtags indicates what kind of header you are creating.

• #header1

• ##header2

• ###header3

• links

• [name](url)

• images

• 

• block quotes

• use > on the first line of the text you want to quote

• lists

• unordened lists
  use * followed by a space and your text

• ordered lists
  use 1. followed by a space and your text

• code

• ` var foo = 'bar'; ` --> var foo = 'bar';

• wrap your code between ```  to conservate its format. Optionally you can indicate its language. I.e:

```javascript

  var foo = 'bar';
  
   function repeat(str, times){
    
     return (''+Array(times + 1)).split(',').join(str);
    
   }
  
  repeat(foo, 5);

```

turns into:

var foo = 'bar';

function repeat(str, times){
 
  return (''+Array(times + 1)).split(',').join(str);
 
}

repeat(foo, 5);
