The most annoying thing about putting a figure in these markdown Gists, if you have to upload that image separtely somewhere online. See here. Once you have the path to your image, the syntax is simple:
Produces something like this:
In this video I show you how we get above to show up:
After I made the above, a collleague noted that you can simply drag or paste an image into the "Comment" window in the Gist, and it will immediately upload and make a URL (and markdown you need) that you can copy and paste into your markdown gist. You do not even need to proceed with making the comment to get the Gist. Really quick and slick ;).
There are lots of ways to make tables. I find the easiest is to use TableGenerator.
| Manual | Chap 1 | Chap 2 | Chap 3 | Chap 4 | Chap 5 | Chap 6 | Chap 7 | Total | % | ||

| Reads by RG Members | 1,949 | 164 | 149 | 214 | 306 | 139 | 132 | 49 | 3,102 | 14% | |

The table above was created from this PubStats(Autosaved).xlsx excel file.
In the video below, I show how to make this table:
Always provide links to references and webpages where possible to make your resourcs most useful. The syntax is to put square brackets around the text you want to have a hyperlink followed by the URL in parentheses. For example:
[My link](http://google.com) produces My link.
This provides a link to this video:
[this video](https://youtu.be/eVAG6Tlg3HA)
However, this is a more conenient way of providing a thumbnail of that same video using http://embedyoutube.org/:
[](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVAG6Tlg3HA "")
Using whatever references you see fit, follow these instructions for Citing and providing a list of references.
If you want to cite Wheaton et al (2015) as a noun... or more passively (Wheaton et al. 2015), you would paste the reference in the reference list at the end:
- Wheaton J, Fryirs K, Brierley GJ, Bangen SG, Bouwes N, O’Brien G. 2015. Geomorphic Mapping and Taxonomy of Fluvial Landforms. Geomorphology 248 : 273–295. DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2015.07.010
The four most common places we will refer to Gists from other pages are GitHub-hosted pages, GitHub Issue Boards, Basecamp and Weebly.
For each of these the first step is to copy the embed code from the Gist page:
For example this <script src="https://gist.github.com/joewheaton/ef0fe1a2676d940c9e2305456bb5354e.js"></script>
In the Riverscapes Consortium, all of our sites and documentation is in Git hosted markdown / Jekyll sites. Here is how you embed a gist in one of those pages and what it looks like.
Sometimes, it is helpful to embed a Gist in another websites page. If you prefer markdown to WYSWYG editors or html, this can also be a way to author content (admitedly narrow usecase).
