Markdown

Markdown lets you add formatting to text such as italics, bold, Colored Text (doesn't work here), Links, and more!

By learning a little bit of syntax, you can use this tool to turn plaintext directly into HTML (what websites are made of). This document and all of the labs are made using markdown.

Using Markdown in Jupyter notebooks

To start using markdown in Jupyter:

1. On https://jupyter.datasci.watzek.cloud Click 'New' and select a language from the 'Notebook'section (Python 2, Python 3, R, SageMath, it doesn't really matter for our purposes).
2. You will be taken to a new webpage containing the notebook you just created
3. Select the sole cell on the page, and select Cell > Cell Type > Markdown from the top menu
4. Select the input section of the cell and you can type freely

To Create a new Cell
Insert > (Above or Below) or press 'a' or 'b'

To Run a Cell (Render the Markdown)
Cell > Run Cells or press shift+enter

Markdown Basics

We will cover some of the basics here, and any additional information can be found in the 'Links' section below.

To italicize text, simply surround it with '*'

don't put any spaces after the first * or before the last,
*This is italicized*
* This is not *

To bold text, surround it with two '*'

again, beware the spaces
**This is Bold**
** This is Not**

To add a header, prepend the text with #

You can add multiple #'s to make the header smaller/less important

# Header 1
## Header 2
### Header 3

remember the space after the #'s!
#This is not a header

To add color to text surround with font tags

prepend the text with <font color="MyColor">,
and append </font>

and change MyColor to a color of your choice

only some colors are supported, including:
purple
red
blue
green
etc.

if you want to make text bold/italic/header and colored, put the *,**,# on the outside of the <font></font> tags

To make a link

For each link there two parts, the stand-in text, and the actual link!
the stand-in text is what will be visible, and when it is clicked it will redirect to the actual link!
Use this formatting:

[stand-in text](the actual link)

For an image, put an ! before it all
![Alternate text (if image is broken)](link to a picture)

To make lists

*, -, + all work for bullets, remember a space after the bullet

* list item 1
* another 1
- you get it

For ordered lists, just use numbers and a '.' instead
you don't even have to use the correct numbers

1. First item
2. Second
3. Third
9. Fourth
10. Fifth

the numbers will be displayed as 1,2,3,4,5
