GitHub Markdown tips:

Making a TOC -- automatic anchors for header text (anchor text is all lower-case, and hyphens replace blanks)

• Styling text
• Links
• Lists
• Code blocks with language-specific syntax highlighting

Styling text

• bold
• italics
• monospace
• strikethrough
• in-line code has back-ticks around it like `code ..., and ends with a 2nd back-tick

Lists

1. Ordered are aligned with numbers
2. ordered sub-lists simply have leading spaces
3. like this

• Unordered lists are aligned with *, + or - characters
  • and again sub-lists have leading spaces
  • and it seems that you can mix *, + and - characters

Code blocks with language-specific syntax highlighting

• SAS highlighting using a 3-back-tick block like ```SAS which ends, as well, with a line of 3 back-ticks

put "Hello, World!";
* code block with SAS syntax highlighting;

• R highlighting using a back-tick blocks like ```R which ends, as well, with a line of 3 back-ticks

cat("Hello", "World", sep = ", ")
# code block with R syntax highlighting
