In Day 2, we started grasping the Markdown concept and covered the following
- Changing into and out of the mode
- Headings
- Italics
- Bold
- Backtick
The Markdown mode is very powerful and can work quite close to a Word Processor!
It is actually a language in itself ( so you are learning two languages now :3) and very easy to learn.
While doing today’s lesson, you can refer to the following link if you are having any trouble with the lesson.
https://jupyter.brynmawr.edu/services/public/dblank/Jupyter%20Notebook%20Users%20Manual.ipynb
- The first thing we will learn is changing the color of the text. Go to a cell and enter the Markdown mode. (All of the typing and running of this lesson should be made in the Markdown mode. If you are in code mode – you may get scary-looking errors! Don’t fret, just change the mode.)
Now type and run:
### Coloring
We can mix colors by either the RGB method or the CMYK method.
<font color=red> RGB, which stands for Red-Green-Blue, uses Red, Green and Blue as the primary colors and derives all the other colors from there. This is the preferred method for graphics that will be viewed on digital screens such as computer monitors, TV, smart phones etc. </font>
<font color = magenta> CMYK, which stand for Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Key(Black), is better used for graphics that will be ultimately printed. We can use this for business cards, flyers, billboard advertising etc. </font>
2. You can also create lists in the Markdown mode. Just use space-dash-space combination. If you want to make a sub-list, hit the tab.
Type and run:
### Lists
The little girl wonders whether the squirrel eats the following:
– guava
– jaggery and puffed rice
– milk and rice
– pomelo
– gourd
– baby animals?
– kittens
– puppies
3. How about numbered lists? Write ‘1’, followed by a dot, then a space and then write your list item. When you press enter it will automatically go to 2 and so on. Note that the space is important.
Type and run:
There are three films in the Goopy Bagha series
1. Goopy Gyne Bagha Bayne
2. Hirak Rajar Deshe
3. Goopy Bagha Fire Elo
4. Blockquotes help us emphasize on quotations by creating a nice looking environment around this. It is very easy to make blockquotes in Markdown. Use ‘>’ , ‘>>’ . Check out the following. Take note of the nesting.
Type and Run:
A conversation about Honesty:
> Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
>> Yeah, but it makes you vulnerable.
> Honesty prospers in every condition of life. Great Leaders have shown the combination of honesty, intelligence and the knack to do the right thing at the right time.
>> These are just platitudes. Why should I be honest when others are getting ahead of me by being dishonest?
>>> Ok, you two, listen! Honesty may, in the short term and specially if you are being honest on and off. But make honesty a lifestyle and in the long run you will win big, trust me.
