This text is designed to provide an overview of the basic formatting features of Markdown.
Markdown Basics
Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax. Its design allows it to be converted to many output formats, but the main one is HTML. Markdown is often used to format readme files, for writing messages in online discussion forums, and to create rich text using a plain text editor.
Lists
As the language is intended to be as easy-to-read and easy-to-write as possible, the syntax is correspondingly simple to understand. Here are some examples of how lists can be formatted in Markdown:
- Bulleted lists can be created using dashes, asterisks, or plus signs
- Numbered lists are created by simply starting with
1.
- Sub-lists are created by indenting with spaces or tabs
Tables
Here’s an example of how to create a table:
Syntax | Description |
---|---|
Header | Title |
Paragraph | Text |
Remember, Markdown is not only easy to write but also easy to read.
