# To Do List Markdown

In this post, I am gonna show you how to write Mathematic symbols in markdown. since I am writing blog post that hosted by Github with Editor Atom, and use plugin markdown-preview-plus and mathjax-wrapper, and use mathjax Javascript display the math symbols on the web page.

I am not gonna to tell you how to make all these things work together, if you want to do what I am do, please take a little time and search around.

Sometimes markdown doesn’t make line breaks when you want them. To force a linebreak, use the following code: Indenting Use the greater than sign followed by a space, for example: Text that will be indented when the Markdown is rendered. Any subsequent text. Markdown Bulleted lists Example Characters for bulleted lists:. Asterisks + Plus signs - Minus signs Characters for bulleted lists: Asterisks; Plus signs; Minus signs; Please note: For the best results you have to use the same character because as you can see in the example below different signs make the list break. Characters for bulleted. To start an ordered list, write this: this starts a list with numbers; this will show as number '2' this will show as number '3.' Any number, +, -, or. will keep the list going. Just indent by 4 spaces (or tab) to make a sub-list. Keep indenting for more sub lists; here i'm back to the second level; To start a check list, write this: this is not checked.

Most import, this post is showing you the basics about math symbols in Latex.

This what wikipedia said about Latex:

One of the greatest motivating forces for Donald Knuth when he began developing the original TeX system was to create something that allowed simple construction of mathematical formulas, while looking professional when printed.
