Markdown is indeed the new sexy mark-up language for writers. If you like to write but are a format freak, markdown is absolutely your thing. It's easy to pick up and use, and it makes your writing seem a lot more logical and readable!

1. Line Break

To force a line break, put two spaces and tab Return.

2. Header

# Header 1
## Header 2
### Header 3
#### Header 4

3. Strong and Emphasize

Strong **Strong** or __Strong__(Command_B)
Emphasize *Emphasize* or _Emphasize_ (Command_I)

4. Insert Emails or Urls

lalala@gmail.com <lalala@gmail.com>
http://lalala.uuu.com <http://lalala.uuu.com>

5. Link Texts

My Jianshu
[My Jianshu] (http://www.jianshu.com/u/2fe889d647d6)

6. Link Pictures

![](path/or/url/to.jpg"Optional Title")
![](path/or/url/to.jpg"Optional Title")
or

[image-id]: path/or/url/to.jpg "Optional Title"
![](image-id) [image-id]: path/or/url/to.jpg "Optional Title"
The latter way makes your mark-ups neater as you can list down all the sources in one place.

Conclusion

These are pretty much most of the tricks you need to know to get your hand in writing with Markdown here in Jianshu. There are still ways of usage where Jianshu and other Markdown tools differ, or Jianshu actually lacks. However, on the whole, your writing won't be affected.

Happy writing!
