Using markdown is very easy. Let’s start from the very beginning: a title of the document. Create it by inserting a few characters like this:
=
below the title.
This is my title
Here the note really starts. As you can see, using markdown is very simple.
And here’s the way you create an italics. Italics in the text are created by inserting the word(s) between single asterisks, like this:
*word*
Here we have bold in our introduction. You can create bold in a very similar way - insert the word(s) between the double asterisks.
**word**
And this is chapter 1
The chapter title is created by inserting the # sign and a space.
1.1. Let’s start the note
As you can see, you can create a subchapter by inserting two # characters. And what about the bullet points?
- point - * sign and a space

x=2
Between such characters ` you can put all the formulas, equations, etc.

| title | title |
|---|---|
| content | content |
| content | content |
1.4 Table of contents
To successfully generate a table of contents, you must have the extension “Markdown All in One” installed.
That’s how it looks:
If you would like to update your table of content or need any suggestions, try ctrl+space.
And last but not least… images and links!
Adding an image from the internet works when you put it this way:
See example:
If you’d like to add an image from your local disc, just do the same. You should provide a relative path to image file in parentheses.
See example:
And finally - some useful links:
