Week 0 / Lesson 03

Practice Markdown live

Workshop tutorial · participation and engagement

Add Markdown marks to the companion's notes and watch the preview change as you type.

The companion left some notes. They are plain text so far, so every line looks the same. Add the Markdown marks and watch the preview change as you type.

Try it

All exercise steps

Put # and a space before the first line, Notes on what needs fixing. The preview shows it as the largest heading.
Put ## and a space before The page with no headings. The preview shows a smaller heading.
Put ## and a space before The list that is not a list. The preview shows a second smaller heading.
Put - and a space before each of the last three lines. The preview shows a bulleted list.
Select Reset the notes. The notes go back to plain text, and you can start over.

Start here: Put # and a space before the first line, Notes on what needs fixing. The preview shows it as the largest heading.

Notes on what needs fixing

The page with no headings

Every line looks the same size, so nothing looks important.

The list that is not a list

headings
paragraphs
the space between them

Nothing you type here is saved. Later in the route, complete Markdown Tutorial before adding Markdown practice in your README to your own repository. If you already made Wednesday's first README edit, keep it.
