Thanks, that is what I needed to know. I was looking for docs like:

http://codemirror.net/mode/markdown/index.html

(which doesn't seem to be 100% compatible with marked)

But for marked, I could only find:

https://github.com/chjj/marked/tree/master/test/tests

Of course there is:

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/2.x/examples/Notebook/Markdown%20Cells.ipynb

but is not exhaustive, and requires a running kernel to see the source
markdown. It also points to:

http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax

which might be 100% compatible (can't tell for certain), but is not the
easiest documentation for a new student to read. For example, it assumes
that the user understands HTML.

We're looking for markdown documentation specific to notebooks, good for
beginners, kernel agnostic, covers LaTeX etc, and gives the output in terms
of rendered text. Anything like that exist?

Thanks!
