Cheat sheet for markdown in Deepnote notebooks

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to format text quickly and easily. In Deepnote, Markdown is particularly useful for creating well-structured and visually appealing documentation directly within your notebooks. Here’s a comprehensive cheat sheet to help you master Markdown in Deepnote:

Headings

Markdown supports six levels of headings, which you can create using hash symbols (#) or underline styles for H1 and H2:

# H1
## H2
### H3
#### H4
##### H5
###### H6

Alternatively, for H1 and H2, an underline-ish style:

Alt-H1
======

Alt-H2
------

Text formatting

You can apply various formatting styles to your text:

*Italics*: *asterisks* or _underscores_.
**Bold**: **double asterisks** or __double underscores__.
**Combined**: **asterisks and _underscores_**.
~~Strikethrough~~: ~~double tilde~~

Lists

Markdown supports ordered and unordered lists:

1. First ordered list item
2. Another item
   * Unordered sub-list.
1. Actual numbers don't matter, just that it's a number
   1. Ordered sub-list
4. And another item.

* Unordered list can use asterisks
- Or minuses
+ Or pluses

Links

You can create different types of links:

[Inline link](<https://www.example.com>)
[Inline link with title](<https://www.example.com> "Example Homepage")
[Reference link][link-text]
[Relative reference to a repo file](../blob/master/LICENSE)

URLs and URLs in angle brackets automatically become links: <http://www.example.com>

Images

Display images using Markdown:

Inline-style:  
![Alt text](<http://example.com/image.jpg> "Optional title")

Reference-style:  
![Alt text][image-ref]

[image-ref]: <http://example.com/image.jpg> "Optional title"

Code

Inline code and code blocks can be formatted:

Inline `code` has back-ticks around it.

```javascript
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);

library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;

entity AND_bloc is
    port(x: in std_logic;
         y: in std_logic;
         F: out std_logic
    );
end AND_bloc;

architecture rtl of AND_bloc is
begin
    F <= x and y;
end rtl;

### Tables

Create tables with Markdown:

```markdown
| Tables        | Are           | Cool  |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| col 3 is      | right-aligned |  1600 |
| col 2 is      | centered      |    12 |

Math equations

You can include LaTeX-style math equations:

Inline math $e^{i\\pi} + 1 = 0$ like this.

$$e^x=\\sum_{i=0}^\\infty \\frac{1}{i!}x^i$$

Blockquotes

Quote text using blockquotes:

> Blockquotes are very handy in email to emulate reply text.

Horizontal rules

Create horizontal rules:

---

***

___

Line breaks

Use double spaces at the end of a line for a line break within a paragraph:

Here's a line for us to start with.

This line is separated from the one above by two newlines, so it will be a separate paragraph.

This line is also a separate paragraph, but  
this line is only separated by a single newline, so it's a separate line in the same paragraph.
