The Markdown Guide

by Matt Cone

About this book

Matt Cone explains how to write and format plain-text documents with Markdown. The guide begins with the relationship between Markdown source, processing tools and rendered output, then shows how the format can support websites, documents, notes and other kinds of writing.

Worked examples cover headings, paragraphs, emphasis, lists, links, images, code, tables, footnotes and other extended syntax. The closing material surveys applications and compatibility differences, making the book useful both as an introduction and as a compact reference.
