Markdown Essentials¶

Basics¶

A paragraph is one or more consecutive lines of text separated by one or more blank lines. A blank line contains nothing but spaces or tabs.

Do not indent normal paragraphs with spaces or tabs. Indent at least 4 spaces or a tab for code blocks.

GitHub Pages¶

GitHub Pages documentation

GitHub Pages site will use the layout and styles from the Jekyll theme you have selected in your repository settings. The name of this theme is saved in the Jekyll _config.yml configuration file.

Bitbucket¶

Bitbucket doesn't support arbitrary HTML in Markdown, it instead uses safe mode. Safe mode requires that you replace, remove, or escape HTML tags appropriately.
