Markdown: The Language of the NetYeti’s Vault
Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax. It’s the “lingua franca” of modern technical documentation.
Why Markdown?
- Portability: Your notes will outlive any specific software (like Obsidian).
- Human-Readable: You can read and write it in any text editor.
- Git-Friendly: Versions beautifully in source control.
NetYeti’s Formatting Standards
- Headings: Use
#for the title,##for sections, and###for sub-sections. - Callouts: Use
> [!INFO]or> [!TIP]to highlight important information. - Code Blocks: Wrap commands in triple backticks (```) for clarity.
Common Syntax
- Bold:
**text** - Italic:
*text* - Links:
[label](url) - Checklists:
- [ ] Task
Knowledge Check:
- Can you read your notes in a simple terminal like
cat? (If not, they’re too complex!) - Do you use “frontmatter” (YAML) at the top of your files for metadata?
