Markdown Syntax on Github
Browsing through some pro tips on coderwall I found this very good guideline for coding in Java:
https://github.com/47deg/coding-guidelines/tree/master/java
I was wondering how this was done as the ".md" file extension was new to me.
This brought me to the description of markdown:

Looks like a very good format for documenting things and integrates well with github. Sounds like an excellent combination to me :).

GitHub takes it one step further by adding a few developer nicities such as fences for code and inline code.

For example, `this is inline code` and
```
This is multi-line
fenced code.
You can specify language at the start via "```js" or whatever language you are using.
```
Thanks a lot for the addition :-)
