Markdown Cheatsheet

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax, easily convertible to various output formats, such as HTML. In the programming world, it's widely used to format documentation, README files, GitHub issues, pull requests and comments. While there are various flavors of Markdown, the basic syntax is shared across implementations.
