In the hope of solving my own problem, I put together a straightforward cheat sheet for John Gruber’s Markdown text formatting software. The cheat sheet, available in PDF format has been designed for 11×17 printers though it will scale happily to 8.5×11 size for those wanting a smaller-scale version. Print it out, hang it on your wall, share it with your friends.
I’m considering revising it to include more extensive, in-context examples though comments and suggestions will help lead me either way.

Update
There was a minor typo that I missed in version 1.0 and which has since been corrected. Version 1.0.1 is now available for download above.

So say you…
That Markdown sure looks good. I’ve been setting up a mailing list manager for local Vancouver arts groups that gives HTML/plain-text messages. After following your post, I think this might make my life a lot easier.
