Org Mode Primer

Things to remember: Org likes to be like TeX and collapse extra spaces, and considers single line breaks to be an author’s formatting aid, not a formatting choice. Two line breaks result in a paragraph break. To force a single line break, use \\ (only works at the end of lines here)

Headings:

Formatting:

/italic/
*bold*
__underline__
+strikethrough+
~monospace~
=verbatim=
force \\
line \\ break

italic bold strikethrough monospace verbatim force
line \ break

github can’t handle bold-italic, but…

Inline HTML:

Unfortunately inline HTML only supports the few ‘clean’ tags, but it’s still worth mentioning…

#+HTML: <b><i>bold italic</i></b>
#+HTML: <marquee>ww</marquee>

bold italic ww

Code blocks:

#+BEGIN_SRC lang
code
#+END_SRC

code

supposedly github will highlight it if you have a language supported by some list I forget where to find but I wouldn’t rely on it.

Tables:

| Name  | Phone | Age |
|-------+-------+-----|
| Peter |  1234 |  17 |
| Anna  |  4321 |  25 |

Name	Phone	Age
Peter	1234	17
Anna	4321	25

columns don’t have to be aligned but it’s a lot nicer. If you edit using orgmode in emacs it’ll handle ascii-mode formatting for you.
