Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, which then converts to valid HTML for viewing. This type of formatting is allowed in the job notes section and client notes section within Jetpack 👍
Basic writing
Paragraphs
Paragraphs in Markdown are just one or more lines of consecutive text followed by one or more blank lines.
On July 2, an alien mothership entered Earth's orbit and deployed several
dozen saucer-shaped "destroyer" spacecraft, each 15 miles (24 km) wide.
On July 3, the Black Knights, a squadron of Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornets,
participated in an assault on a destroyer near the city of Los Angeles.
Headings
You can create a heading by adding one or more # symbols before your heading text. The number of # you use will determine the size of the heading.
# The largest heading (an <h1> tag)
## The second largest heading (an <h2> tag)
…
###### The 6th largest heading (an <h6> tag)
Blockquotes
You can indicate blockquotes with a >.
In the words of Abraham Lincoln:
> Pardon my french
Styling text
*This text will be italic*
**This text will be bold**
Both bold and italic can use either a * or an _around the text for styling. This allows you to combine both bold and italic if needed.
**Everyone _must_ attend the meeting at 5 o'clock today.**
Lists
Unordered lists
You can make an unordered list by preceding list items with either a * or a -.
* Item
* Item
* Item
- Item
- Item
- Item
Ordered lists
You can make an ordered list by preceding list items with a number.
1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
Nested lists
You can create nested lists by indenting list items by four spaces.
1. Item 1
1. A corollary to the above item.
2. Yet another point to consider.
2. Item 2
* A corollary that does not need to be ordered.
* This is indented eight spaces.
* You might want to consider making a new list.
3. Item 3
Code formatting
Inline formats
Use single backticks (`) to format text in a special monospace format. Everything within the backticks appear as-is, with no other special formatting.
Here's an idea: why don't we take `SuperiorProject` and turn it into
`**Reasonable**Project`.
Multiple lines
You can use triple backticks () to format text as its own distinct block.
Check out this neat program I wrote:
```
x = 0
x = 2 + 2
what is x
Links
You can create an inline link by wrapping link text in brackets ([ ]), and then wrapping the link in parentheses (( )).
For example, to create a hyperlink to https://app.jetpackworkflow.com with a link text that says, "Visit Jetpack Workflow!", you'd write this in Markdown:
[Visit Jetpack Workflow!](https://app.jetpackworkflow.com)
