What You Can Do with Markdown

You are encouraged to read carefully this Markdown Cheatsheet to get a deeper understanding of how to write in Markdown.

Most of the codes in that Cheatsheet will work with Markdown in Hugo:

Headings

You can have six levels of section headings:

H3

H4

H5
H6

Blockquotes

What I cannot create, I do not understand. Note that you can use Markdown syntax within a blockquote.

Lists

You can create a list, both numbered or not:

Ordered List

  1. Buy a fridge
  2. Go to Kroger
  3. Pay for items

Unordered List

  • Buy a fridge
  • Go to Kroger
  • Pay for items

    1. Go to Kroger
    2. Pay for items
