Python Markdown

Cheat Sheet

Python Markdown is a way to format your text in Python. It is based on HTML formatting and just as easy. Here's the basics to get you started.

Headers

Headers are a nifty tool to make sure all same-level text are formatted the same way. Biggest text is Header1 which is used for titles, and Header2 for subtitles. And then it goes smaller and smaller.

[markdown]

# Header1

## Header2

### Header3

#### Header4

##### Header5

###### Header6

It is important to note that the headers just differ in font size. Similar to HTML, additional formatting such as bold and italics must also be called in the code.

[html]

<h1>Header1</h1>

<h2>Header2</h2>

<h2>Header3</h2>

<h2>Header4</h2>

<h2>Header5</h2>

<h2>Header6</h2>

Emphasis (Bold & Italics)

Bold and Italics are used to emphasize text and may be used in headers/titles or within paragraphs.

[markdown]

*italic* or _italic_

**bold** or __bold__

***bold italic*** or ___bold italic___

[html]

<em>italic</em>

<strong><em>bold italic</em></strong>

Block Quotes

[markdown]

> This is a quote.

>> This is a nested quote.

[html]

<p>This is a quote.</p>

<p>Nested quote.</p>

</blockquote>
