Markdown Syntax Guide

This guide shows basic examples of Markdown syntax. You can preview these examples using an online editor like Dillinger or within an editor like VS Code.

Headers

Headings are created using hash symbols (#).

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 6

Emphasis

You can make text italic or bold.

This text will be italic
This will also be italic
This text will be bold
This will also be bold

Lists

Unordered List

Use asterisks, plus signs, or hyphens.

• Item 1
• Item 2
  • Item 2a (indent for sub-list)
  • Item 2b

Ordered List

Use numbers. The actual numbers don't matter in the source, just that it's a number.

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item

Code Blocks

Inline code is wrapped in single backticks ().
Use fenced code blocks with three backticks (

 ````) for larger blocks of code, optionally specifying the language for syntax highlighting.

Inline code example: `<div>`

Fenced code block example:
```

javascript
const greeting = "Hello, world!";
console.log(greeting);
