Updated and nicely tied together a LOT of things for me. Really "good to know" info. So far this has been THE best intro to markdown. Thanks for sharing!

Markdown is an interesting subject. Discord introduced me causing a study flurry to assemble a cheat sheet. Your summery is fair. I began to notice missing info when you got into links. New Sub! #1 FAN!

Another useful tip is to use two equal signs to highlight text ==like this==. I'm a beginner with markdown (thanks to Obsidian) so I'm not sure if there's a way to change the highlight colour. Would be great if so!

Great video, quick question: how did you present the note, was it in obsidian and if so is that a plugin, or was it a different app and could you recommend one?

Pound sign? I'm in the UK so I got a bit confused when I saw the 'hash' or 'number' sign #

What's a good software for just quickly opening up a markdown file?

I wish there's a bbcode to markdown converter. I'd have to learn markdown to convert and move some of my stuff that I did with bbcode to static pages.

Apologies for going in the other direction, but could you suggest a few text editors that are NOT markdown. Text editors for those who may not be writing for the web or who are writing for the web but using other methods. You did say Evernote and Notion but they are so much more than text editors right? It does seem that right now there’s more markdown editors than otherwise. Apologies again. And thanks.

I am merely preparing for the POSSIBILITY of working remotely...it may never happen. Would love to know about affordability. I just set up the free version of NextCloud and already goofed by choosing a provider that will be too costly if I choose the paid-for version (Woelkli). I also just set up SyncThing, but find it rather confusing and am getting annoyed with having to look at which updated file is which. But, it beats having nothing. Would be interested in future-proofing, growing ideas. I am sick of having to relearn so many danged things. Also, I use Linux and that just makes things even harder. I am spending more time learning to use tools than actually working

Can you do a video on how to use pandoc and latex to convert markdown to pdfs
