Markdown overview

As mentioned earlier, Markdown is a text markup language that allows you to add common styling elements to your text with nothing more than some simple symbols. Here, we've collected some of the most common Markdown syntax for you as a guide.

One of the greatest advantages of Markdown is that the markup is readily recognizable and easily interpretable without you having to know a lot of arcane symbology and commands.

Headings

You can apply headings of different sizes to Markdown text by preceding it with the # symbol. Adding more # symbols will reduce the heading size:

#H1
##H2
###H3
####H4
