Markdown Syntax

This cheat sheet is taken from The Markdown Guide, "a free and open-source reference guide that explains how to use" the language. The author, Matt Cone, provides reference guides for both basic and extended syntaxes. The guide is well worth a read if you have any doubts concerning the usage of an element.
