Here’s my Markdown/PHP Markdown cheat sheet or syntax summary.

I really enjoy using Markdown. It’s great to be able to write in (nearly) plain English - say, for submitting something for print - and being able to dump the same text down into the blog and have it work on the web. Setting aside writing-for-web vs. writing-for-print issues, I find this a great help.

And PHP Markdown Extra adds a few niceties, like Markdown inside HTML block tags, simple tables, and definition lists. It just drops straight into WordPress and away you go.

So for others who are forgetful like me, I submit a combined summary of the Markdown and PHP Markdown syntax:

• one-page landscape layout
• two-page portrait layout

If you’re new to Markdown I suggest you read the manual (and the one for PHP Markdown Extra too) because I’ve skipped a few of the minor details in the interests of simplicity and space.

If you find this useful, please let me know what you think - suggestions for improvements are most welcome.
