# Markdown Cheatsheet

GitHub Pages renders Markdown differently than GitHub does. GitHub uses its own Markdown processor. README.md file will look different on GitHub’s website than on your GitHub Pages website.

### **Markdown in GitHub**

🏴**Headings**

To create a heading, add number signs (#) in front of a word or phrase. 
```
# Heading level 1
```
🏴**Bold**

To bold text, add two asterisks or underscores before and after a word or phrase.


 ```
I just love **bold text**
I just love __bold text__
```

🏴**Italic**

To italicize text, add one asterisk or underscore before and after a word or phrase.
```
Italicized text is the *cat's meow*
Italicized text is the _cat's meow_
```
🏴**Lists**

You can organize items into ordered and unordered lists.

**Ordered Lists**

To create an ordered list, add line items with numbers followed by periods. The numbers don’t have to be in numerical order, but the list should start with the number one.

```
1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item
    1. Indented item
    2. Indented item
4. Fourth item
```

**Unordered Lists**

To create an unordered list, add dashes (-), asterisks (*), or plus signs (+) in front of line items. Indent one or more items to create a nested list.

```
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
    - Indented item
    - Indented item
- Fourth item
```
🏴**Links**

To create a link, enclose the link text in brackets (e.g., [Duck Duck Go]) and then follow it immediately with the URL in parentheses (e.g., (https://duckduckgo.com)).

```
My favorite search engine is [Duck Duck Go](https://duckduckgo.com)
```

🏴**Images**

To add an image, add an exclamation mark (!), followed by alt text in brackets, and the path or URL to the image asset in parentheses. You can optionally add a title in quotation marks after the path or URL.

```
![The San Juan Mountains are beautiful!](/assets/images/san-juan-mountains.jpg "San Juan Mountains")
```

🏴**Linking Images**

To add a link to an image, enclose the Markdown for the image in brackets, and then add the link in parentheses.

```
[![An old rock in the desert](/assets/images/shiprock.jpg "Shiprock, New Mexico by Beau Rogers")](https://www.flickr.com/photos/beaurogers/31833779864/in/photolist-Qv3rFw-34mt9F-a)
```
