Markdown Cheatsheet

This article is a bit old and the content may be outdated, so please refer to it with caution and remember to check the latest official materials (such as documentation, etc.)

Tricks that are less known to GitHub-flavored markdown starters, including escaping `s, writing dropdowns, and centering an image.

Escaping ` #

The general principle is, escape ` with more `s.

For example, if you want to escape a single `, just wrap it with two on each side, and add spaces, that is, `` ` ``.

If you want to escape three back quotes in a code block, use 4 for the code fence:

````
```python
print('hello')
```
````

text

Produces:

```python
print('hello')
```

text
