Markdown cheat sheet

Here you'll find a list of handy text transformations with Markdown, that will help you quickly add and format text, code, or formulas.

  • Type *text* to make it bold.

  • Type _text_ to make it italic.

At the beginning of an empty paragraph:

  • *, - or + followed by a Space: add a bulleted list.

  • 1. followed by a Space: add a numbered list.

  • *[] followed by a Space: add a todo list.

  • # followed by a Space: add a level 1 heading.

  • ## followed by a Space: add a level 2 heading.

  • ### followed by a Space: add a level 3 heading.

  • ```[language-name] followed by a Space: add a code cell for a specific language. language-name is any of the languages supported by Nextjournal, namely Python, R, Julia, Clojure, Bash, and Agda. If you only type ``` followed by a Space , a new code cell of the most recently used language will be added, or, if there's no language used yet, a Julia code cell.

  • $writeyourformulahere$ to show a LaTeX formula.
