Writing the posts
The posts are written by using MarkDown. Markdown is really simple and easy to read markup language. A good cheatsheet can be found from here.
Let’s take a quick look at the most common things you are going to do with markdown.
Headers
There are six different levels of headers similar to H1-H6. Lower number equals bigger header.
# H1
## H2
### H3
#### H4
##### H5
###### H6
produces an output like
H1
H2
H3
H4
H5
H6
Lists
There are two kinds of lists; ordered and unordered.
1. first item
2. second item
* Unordered item
* More unordered items
* A list inside list
produces an output like
- first item
- second item
- Unordered item
- More unordered items
- A list inside list
