#Syntax

In Github Flavored Markdown, fenced code blocks are optional portions of the tutorials where as indented code blocks are required to complete the tutorial.

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.
