Markdown

Overview

Need to make some edits to your Terms, Above the Fold text, Services, or Parts? Here's a cheat sheet for using markdown to style your text. These are the most common usages you'll find when making edits in serviceminder, but you can also search "markdown" online and find lots of resources.


Headings

Headings can be designated using pound symbols (/#). The fewer the pound signs, the bigger the heading. So a main heading (an H1) is just one poud sign. An H2, a slightly smaller heading, is two pound signs, and so on.

#An H1 Heading

An H1 Heading

##An H2 Heading

An H2 Heading

###An H3 Heading

An H3 Heading


You can also use equal signs or hyphens in a line to designate a heading 1 or 2.

Heading One
=======

Heading One

Heading Two
--------

Heading Two


Styling

Using asterisks and underscores you can make text italicbold, and highlighted.

*Here's italic*

Here's italic

**This is bold**

This is bold

__This is also bold__ (two underscores)

This is also bold (two underscores)

***Bold italic***

Bold italic

*__Bold italic again__*

Bold italic again

==Here's a highlight==

Here's a highlight


Making a List

Use an asterisk or hyphen to create a list of items. I find that I run into fewer problems using hyphens instead of an asterisk.

* Here's the first item
* Here's the second
* And a third
- Here's the first item
- Here's the second
- And a third

Here's how it looks:

  • Here's the first item
  • Here's the second
  • And a third

Spacing

For single spacing lines, hitting Enter on its own to start a new line won't work - which is a little confusing! Instead, put two spaces at the end of each line that you would like single-spaced, then hit Enter.

Here's a line with two spaces at the end.  
And then a new line.

Here's a line with two spaces at the end.
And then a new line.

This line has no spaces at the end.
And a second line.

This line has no spaces at the end. And a second line.


Add your desired links and to specified text using brackets and parentheses: {TEXT}(link url)

Images

You can add an image with alt text as well as a title if desired. Alt text is in brackets, and the title is in quotation marks inside the parentheses, after the link URL. Alt text and titles are good for accessibilty!
