Markdown Cheatsheet

Please refer to [Daring Fireball: Markdown Syntax Documentation]
(http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax.php) for the original documentation of Markdown.
Also, the code notation is implementad in relation with [GitHub Flavored Markdown](http://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/).

## Code - Code Insertion

For example, if you want to write down a ruby source code with a file name "kobito.rb", use backquote to apply syntax highlighting.
**It may not function normally when there is no blank lines before and after a code block.**

> (blank line)
> \`\`\`ruby:kobito.rb
> puts 'The best app to log and share programming knowledge.'
> \`\`\`
> (blank line)

**result**

```ruby:qiita.rb
puts 'The best app to log and share programming knowledge.'
```

It is also possible to display codes with in-line style.

> \` puts 'Kobito'` is a technical knowledge archiving application for programmers.

**Result**

` puts 'Kobito'` is a technical knowledge archiving application for programmers.

## Format Text - text-decoration

### Headers

* \# This is an H1 tag.
* \## This is an H2 tag.
* \###### This is an H6 tag.

### Emphasis

* \*This is in italics*
* \_This is also in italics._
* _This_will not be in italics.
* \*\*This is in bold.**
* \_\This is also in bold.__

## Lists

### Unordered (bulleted) lists

- Putting "*", "+" or "-" at the beginning of a sentence makes unordered lists.
- Convenient for summarizing points.
- When inserting lists, **you need to add blank lines before and after the lists.**

### Ordered (numbered) lsits

- Putting numbers followed by periods (e.g. "1.") at the beginning of a sentence makes decimal style lists.
- When inserting lists, **you need to add blank lines before and after the lists.**

## Blockquotes

> \> Putting &gt; at the beginning of a sentence makes quotations.
> \> If you want to quote more than two lines, you need to put the mark every line.
> \> **You need to insert blank lines before and after quotations.**
> \> You can use other Markdown syntax inside a quotation.

> > This is a nested quotation.

## Horizontal rules

All of following marks make a horizontal line.

> \* * *
> \***
> \*****
> \- - -
> \---------------------------------------

## Links

* \[Link text](URL "Title")
    * You can post a link with its title.

**Example**

> *Markdown:* \[Qiita]\(http://qiita.com "Qiita")
> *Result:* [Qiita](http://qiita.com "Qiita")

* \[Link text](URL)
    * This is a link without its title.

**Example**

> *Markdown:* \[Qiita]\(http://qiita.com)
> *Example:* [Qiita](http://qiita.com)

## Images - Embedding images

* \![Alternative text]\(URL of an image)
    * Embedding an image without a title
* \![Alternative text]\(URL of an image)
    * Embedding an image with its title

**Example**

> *Markdown:* \![Qiita]\(http://qiita.com/favicon.png "Qiita")
> *Result:*
> ![Qiita](http://qiita.com/favicon.png "Qiita")
