Good reference @benstr but your headings aren't appearing formatted - fix by adding a space after the '#'.

Thanks for your CheatSheet and icewhite's tips

Thanks! I have forked this.

I forked this and fixed the glitches in the Headings and list items. You kind of have to fork or download to see the actual markdown text for most of the formatting. Raw just shows another view of the formatted markdown.

Thanks for the cheatsheet.
One more important point for someone who is not aware: for markdown to work, the file name has to have .md extension.

Thank you for this!! Struggled with it for a bit to figure out why my markdowns weren't taking.

Thank you, this was helpful.

Thanks for THIS very useful suggestion

kkkkkk

You have to underline your headings-to-be with "=" (h1) and with "-" (h2). Don't know about h3 and the others yet.

Thanks! I've forked this and fixed the unformatted heading by adding a space after the '#' symbol.

Thanks it was very hepful

Any idea how to create a copy to clipboard button on fenced code blocks?
