Use the # symbol followed by a space for headers. The number of # symbols indicates the level of the header. The more # the smaller the text.
Example:
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3To include special characters such as asterisks (*), underscores (_), or backticks themselves in your Markdown text without triggering their formatting effects, you can enclose them within backticks (`). For example, to display an asterisk as a literal asterisk rather than italicizing text, enclose it within backticks like this: `*`. Similarly, you can use backticks to display underscores or backticks themselves without triggering Markdown formatting. This technique allows you to include special characters directly in your Markdown text without unintended formatting changes. Another way of doing so is to use \ before said special character
Example:
To display a literal asterisk (*), use this: `*` or `\*`Use asterisks (*) or underscores (_) to emphasize text.
Example:
*Italic*
_Italic_
**Bold**
__Bold__- Unordered List: Use
-,*, or+followed by a space for each item.
Example:
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Subitem 2.1
- Subitem 2.2- Ordered List: Use numbers followed by a period and a space.
Example:
1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3Use [text](URL) to create a hyperlink.
Example:
[Google](https://www.google.com)Use  to embed images.
Example:
Use backticks (`) to highlight inline code, and triple backticks for code blocks.
Example:
`inline code`
\```
print("Hello, world!")
\```Use > to create blockquotes.
Example:
> This is a blockquote.Use three or more hyphens (-), asterisks (*), or underscores (_) on a separate line to create a horizontal rule.
