Short Markdown Tutorial

Here's how to do markdown :) Note that you can look at the raw source of this document, which is here

To embed a link, you can simply put something like this in a file:

[This links to mtzionsmarr.com](http://mtzionsmarr.com)

and it renders like this: This links to mtzionsmarr.com

To do headers and what not, you can precede a line with a hash:

# Big Header
## A little smaller
### Even smaller
#### Yet smaller

and it renders like this:

Big Header

A little smaller

Even smaller

Yet smaller

You can create a bulleted list like so:

* First item
* Second item
* Last item

and it renders like this:

  • First item
  • Second item
  • Last item

If you need some emphasis:

That's so *amazing*. But, its not **that** amazing

and it renders like this: That's so amazing. But, its not that amazing

Lastly, to start new paragraphs. You'll need to add extra "enter" key presses, like so:

This is in a paragraph.

This is a new paragraph. It has more sentences in it. Blah Blah Blah.

Ha! Yet another paragraph!

and it renders like this:

This is in a paragraph.

This is a new paragraph. It has more sentences in it. Blah Blah Blah.

Ha! Yet another paragraph!
