Markdown introduction	Ashkan Mirzaee	An introduction to Markdown

Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML). A Markdown document could contain chunks of embedded graphics, source codes and LaTeX formula. A basic knowledge about Markdown could help you to create HTML documents such as weblogs or reports easily. This tutorial provides a quick reference to use Markdown.

Italic and Bold

Scratched Text

superscript^2^

Markdown doesn't support underline, but we can use HTML Text instead. Also, we can render almost any HTML code that we   like   such as superscript².

Code blocks

In Markdown, we can simply add plain code blocks to display (not evaluating) by inserting triple back quote i.e. ```. For example:

norm = function(x) {
  sqrt(x%*%x)
}
norm(1:4)

For inline plain codes use single back quote before and after the code, for example we defined this codes here in this way.

Mathematical formula

We can use inline LaTex equassion by using sigle $ before and after the equation for example $y = x + z$. And we can display equations with double $ such that:

$$\mathbb{N} = { a \in \mathbb{Z} : a > 0 }$$
