Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to format plain text using simple syntax. It's widely used for creating content on platforms like GitHub, Reddit, and various blogging tools. This guide introduces you to the basic Markdown syntax to help you get started.

1. Headings

Use the # symbol followed by a space to create headings. The number of # symbols indicates the heading level:

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Alternatively, you can use underline styles:

Heading 1

=========

Heading 2

---

Note: Always include a space between the # and the heading text for proper rendering. Markdown Guide

2. Paragraphs and Line Breaks To create paragraphs, separate blocks of text with a blank line:

• This is the first paragraph.:contentReference[oaicite:55]{index=55}
• :contentReference[oaicite:57]{index=57}

For a line break within a paragraph, end a line with two or more spaces, then press return:

• This is the first line.
• And this is the second line.

3. Emphasis Bold: Wrap text with double asterisks ** or double underscores __:

bold text or bold text

Italic: Wrap text with single asterisks * or single underscores _:

italicized text or italicized text

Bold and Italic: Use triple asterisks ***:

bold and italic text

4. Lists Unordered Lists: Use -, *, or + followed by a space:

Edit Ordered Lists: Use numbers followed by a period and a space:

• :contentReference[oaicite:104]{index=104}
