This page contains a quick reference to all markdown properties. 90% of this was part of the Simple Jekyll theme, which we forked to built this one. Great job, makers!
By the way, how did you reach this page?

From what I understood, Jekyll doesn't support source files inside collection folders like _notes.
Currently, what I do is, I upload images and attachments manually to /assets/img/ and use
From Assets/Img
to embed images. This is not effective, but works. Also, public URLs work
From URL

Code blocks are part of the Markdown spec, but syntax highlighting isn't. However, many renderers – like Github's and Markdown Here – support syntax highlighting. Which languages are supported and how those language names should be written will vary from renderer to renderer. Markdown Here supports highlighting for dozens of languages (and not-really-languages, like diffs and HTTP headers);
Inline `code` has `back-ticks around` it.
Inline code has back-ticks around it.
Blocks of code are either fenced by lines with three back-ticks ```, or are indented with four spaces. I recommend only using the fenced code blocks – they're easier and only they support syntax highlighting.
```javascript
var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);
```
```python
s = "Python syntax highlighting"
print s
```
```
No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting.
But let's throw in a tag.

You can write math expressions using the \(\LateX\) markup language between double dollar signs : $$…$$. They can be written inline or as a single block.
For example,
| $$P(A | B) = \frac{P(B | A)\cdot P(A)}{P(B)}$$ will render as : |
| Please note that for a math block to be displayed correctly, it needs to be separated by an empty line, above and below. Besides, the pipe character | may conflict with markdown : it is recommended to use \vert instead. |
Tables aren't part of the core Markdown spec, but they are part of GFM and Markdown Here supports them. They are an easy way of adding tables to your email – a task that would otherwise require copy-pasting from another application.
Colons can be used to align columns.
| Tables | Are | Cool |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| col 3 is | right-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is | centered | $12 |
| zebra stripes | are neat | $1 |
There must be at least 3 dashes separating each header cell.
The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the
raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown.

This is a very long line that will still be quoted properly when it wraps. Oh boy let's keep writing to make sure this is long enough to actually wrap for everyone. Oh, you can put Markdown into a blockquote.
You can also use raw HTML in your Markdown, and it'll mostly work pretty well.
<dl>
<dt>Definition list</dt>
<dd>Is something people use sometimes.</dd>
<dt>Markdown in HTML</dt>
<dd>Does *not* work **very** well. Use HTML <em>tags</em>.</dd>

My basic recommendation for learning how line breaks work is to experiment and discover – hit
Here are some things to try out:
Here's a line for us to start with.
This line is separated from the one above by two newlines, so it will be a *separate paragraph*.
This line is also a separate paragraph, but...
This line is only separated by a single newline, so it's a separate line in the *same paragraph*.
