Markdown


Rules

  1. First cell only
  2. Plain text only
  3. Each markdown item on its own line
  4. One blank-line between each item
info Pro Tip

  1. Its easiest to write your content in a simple text editor like Notepad or Text Edit, not in Microsoft® Word.

  2. Paste the entire markdown content into the first cell--double-click the cell to activate.

    3. warning If you don't activate the cell before pasting it, it will put each line of markdown into its own cell--this will cause the table to not display properly.
