Cool, huh ??

Tables

At first, it give me a suprise that markdown support tables, but when i start to using it, I've got to say it's amazing , really helps me a lot.

For instance, I create a table below.

The markdown code goes like this,

| Name    | Age  | Club        |
| :------ | ---- | ----------- |
| Ronaldo | 32   | Real Madrid |
| Messi   | 31   | Barcelona   |

Seems a little complated, if you do it manully, but in Typora , you could just press cmd + T to popup a window to choose how many columns and rows you need, the best part is you can adjust the row counts and columns counts while you fulfill the value in table.

Code Fences

Code changes world, Steve Jobs used to claim that everyone should learn to program.

Markdown support nearlly all the popular programming language you can find in the world, and highlight the code at wonderful way.

Here's some explams:

• C#

  // A Hello World! program in C#.
  using System;
  namespace HelloWorld
  {
      class Hello 
      {
          static void Main() 
          {
              Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
  
              // Keep the console window open in debug mode.
              Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit.");
              Console.ReadKey();
          }
      }
  }
  

• Java

  /******************************************************************************
   *  Compilation:  javac HelloWorld.java
   *  Execution:    java HelloWorld
   *
   *  Prints "Hello, World". By tradition, this is everyone's first program.
   *
   *  % java HelloWorld
   *  Hello, World
   *
   *  These 17 lines of text are comments. They are not part of the program;
   *  they serve to remind us about its properties. The first two lines tell
   *  us what to type to compile and test the program. The next line describes
   *  the purpose of the program. The next few lines give a sample execution
   *  of the program and the resulting output. We will always include such 
   *  lines in our programs and encourage you to do the same.
   *
   ******************************************************************************/
  
  public class HelloWorld {
  
      public static void main(String[] args) {
          // Prints "Hello, World" to the terminal window.
          System.out.println("Hello, World");
      }
  
  }
  

• Javascript

  function fn(s){
      console.log(s)
  }
  fn('Hello World')
  

  ?

• Python

def fn(s:str)->str:
  print(str)
fn('Hello World')  

And So on, now, let me show you how the markdown syntax do the magic.

 ```python
 def fn(s:str)->str:
   print(str)
 fn('Hello World')  

Using ``` language name ``` will do the trick!

Or, if you are using Typora , you could just press cmd + alt + c to insert the code fances.
