Daring Fireball: Markdown Syntax Documentation

Tue, 25 Nov 2014 04:57:29 -0000

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

Atx-style headers use 1-6 hash characters at the start of the line

Optionally, you may “close” atx-style headers. This is purely cosmetic — you can use this if you think it looks better.

Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens — interchangably — as list markers

You can produce a horizontal rule tag (<hr />) by placing three or more hyphens, asterisks, or underscores on a line by themselves. If you wish, you may use spaces between the hyphens or asterisks.

Markdown treats asterisks (*) and underscores (_) as indicators of emphasis.

Text wrapped with one * or _ will be wrapped with an HTML <em> tag; double *’s or _’s will be wrapped with an HTML <strong> tag.

surround an * or _ with spaces, it’ll be treated as a literal

To produce a literal asterisk or underscore at a position where it would otherwise be used as an emphasis delimiter, you can backslash escape it

Thu, 06 Nov 2014 04:28:12 -0000

It can be singular or plural, dependent on context.

There is also the uncountable form

So we have to consider from context either it is countable or uncountable noun. Uncountable 'instruction' can then mean a set of countable instructions. - Vipas Suktavornprasit

One word which is NEVER plural in English is "information".
