  • In this video we will discuss what Markdown is, what it is used for and we will jump into VSCode and learn the entire syntax in around 10 minutes. We will also push to a Github repo to see what it looks like there.

    Awesome video, I use markdown almost daily as a way to document as I write code. Since I have to pass out paper copies of my notes sometimes I like to use Pandoc (with the vs code extension vscode-pandoc) to convert it in word, put page breaks in for formatting and am good to go. I also find myself using a lot of tables, so I found the Markdown Table Formatter extension to be very handy as I can do a really roughed out table then through the key command make it look nice.

    Markdown is a sweet little concept and more devs should know about it! Knowing the syntax is so handy, especially for Static Site Generators. Thanks Brad.

      Markdown is also handy for KDoc ( kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/kotlin-doc.html ).

    I'd like to ask the creator of this to be mindful of blind folk who might watch this video and not be able to read the typed text. It would be helpful if you would read what you're typing verbatim, at least to the extent of the markdown syntax, as I'm not sure for instance of which items are wrapped in their key characters, and which just have the character before text.
    Otherwise, I appreciate the efficient way this gives syntax for markdown, which I am interested in learning.
    Thanks for taking a look at this.

    Just a heads up regarding "MarkdownPad 2" (that features on Brads list of editors) - this seems to be an abandoned project unfortunately. I used to use it - it was a great editor, but several faults developed that never got fixed (and some requested features never got added). It's not been updated in over 3 years (latest version is 2.5 from 24 Dec 2014). Several threads on the ApricitySoftware forums asking "is it dead?" and quite a few disgruntled comments from those who have purchased the "Pro" version - which is still available to buy - but are having problems and receiving no support. FWIW I switched to MarkdownEdit, which is a simple/lightweight markdown editor on Windows, although it does struggle with large documents.
