Text Formatting
Markdown is a lightweight markup language used to format plain text. Here’s how to use its essential syntax.
1. Headings
Use # for headings. The number of # symbols determines the level:
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5
###### Heading 6
2. Bold and Italics
Bold: **text** or __text__
Italic: *text* or _text_
Bold and Italic: ***text*** or ___text___
This is bold.
This is italic.
This is bold and italic.
3. Blockquotes
Use ‘>’ to create blockquotes:
> This is a blockquote.
This is a blockquote.
4. Horizontal Rules
To create a horizontal rule, use three or more asterisks (***), dashes (—), or underscores (___) on a line by themselves.
***
