what is Markdown?

Markdown is a way of writing rich-text (formatted text) content using plain text formatting syntax. From this post, you’ll learn all the Markdown’s major commands that will help you create an awesome GitHub README.

Text

Paragraph

Paragraphs are separated by a blank line.

This is another paragraph.

output:

Paragraphs are separated by a blank line. This is another paragraph

Font style

It's very easy to make some words italic and other words bold. Any word wrapped with two tildes (like**~~Scrached this~~**) will appear crossed out.

Emphasis, aka italics, with *asterisks* or _underscores_.

Strong emphasis, aka bold, with **asterisks** or __underscores__.

Combined emphasis with **asterisks and _underscores_**.

Strikethrough uses two tildes. ~~Scratch this.~~

output:

The emphasis, aka italics, with asterisks or underscores.The strong emphasis, aka bold, with asterisks or underscores.The combined emphasis with asterisks and underscores. Strikethrough uses two tildes. Scratch this.

You can even link to [google](<https://google.com>).

output:

You can even link to google.

Structure

Headers

You can structure your texts in the following way:

# Title
## Subtitle
### Another deeper title

You can use one `#` all the way up to `######` six for different title sizes

output:

Lists

Bullet list:
* Start a line with an asterisk
* Food
  * Fruits
    * Oranges

Numbered list:
1. One
2. Two
3. Three

output:

If you'd like to quote someone, use the > character before the line:

> This is a blockquote.
>
> This is the second paragraph.

output:
