Introduction to Markdown

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. What this means to you is that by using just a few extra symbols in your text, Markdown helps you create a document with an explicit structure.

Why Markdown

• Easy The syntax is very simple.

• Fast: It speeds up the workflows.

• Clean: No missing closing tags, no improperly nested tags, no blocks left without containers.

• Portable: Cross-platform by nature.

• Flexible: Output documents to a wide array of formats like, convert to HTML , rich text for sending emails or any number of other proprietary formats.

We will be using markdown in almost every module's assignment, so it is an important thing to learn here if you don't know already.

    > Give a note like this

    ```python
    #simple python multiline code
    a=input()
    c=a
    print (c)
    ```

Output:

simple code or highlight

Give a note like this

#simple python multiline code
a=input()
c=a
print (c)
