Overview

Any new user will benefit from using this cheat sheet to understand Markdown's fundamental syntax. You'll discover what markdown is and how to utilise it in this post.

What is Markdown?

Similar to HTML, Markdown is a simple markup language for formatting text. To get started with markdown, you simply need to save your text file with the.md extension. After that, you may use markdown syntax to produce content in editors that accept markdown, such as Visual Studio Code, Atom, Sublime Text, Notepad, and Notepad++. A blog post or git README file would provide suitable examples; as you may already be aware, hashnode also supports Markdown for articles and blogs. Keep it that way, and let's begin learning more about Markdown.
