Syntax

#1-ii. Syntax

In this tutorial, created using Github Flavored Markdown, fenced code blocks are optional portions of the tutorials whereas indented code blocks are required to complete the tutorial.

A fenced code block will look like this:

sudo apt-get install tree
cd ~
tree -I tools 

An indented code block will look very similar in the wiki but will be interpreted differently when this tutorial is parsed:

sudo apt-get install tree
cd ~
tree -I tools 

To make the Markdown files bash/shell compatible, a script will add a comment or '#' character to all lines that are NOT indented with a TAB character.

In text form, all lines starting with a '#' are comments and will not be executed. Therefore, fenced code blocks will be ignored when converted to a bash script.
