Markdown Guide

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight syntax that lets you format plain text using simple symbols. Andromeda renders your notes as beautiful, formatted content — no HTML needed.

Headings

Use # symbols to create headings. More # = smaller heading.

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4

Emphasis

**Bold text**
*Italic text*
***Bold and italic***
~~Strikethrough~~

Bold text · Italic text · Bold and italic · Strikethrough

Code

Inline code

Wrap text in backticks for inline code.

Use `console.log()` to debug.

Code blocks

Use triple backticks and optionally add the language for syntax highlighting.

```javascript
function greet(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

```javascript
function greet(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`;
}

Supported languages include: javascript, typescript, python, bash, json, css, html, and many more.

Tables

| Column A | Column B | Column C |
|----------|----------|----------|
| Row 1    | Data     | More     |
| Row 2    | Data     | More     |

Use : to align columns:

| Left | Center | Right |
|:-----|:------:|------:|
| A    |   B    |     C |

Horizontal Rule

Use three or more dashes, asterisks, or underscores on their own line.

Tips for Better Notes

• Use headings to structure long notes — they act as a table of contents.
• Use code blocks for any commands, code snippets, or terminal output — always specify the language.
• Use task lists to turn notes into action items.
• Use blockquotes to highlight key ideas or quotes from books and articles.
• Use tables to compare options, track data, or organize lists with multiple attributes.
• Keep paragraphs short — one idea per paragraph makes notes easier to scan later.
