MarkDown Language
Markdown is a simple and easy-to-learn language
- Headings To create a heading, use the "#" symbol followed by a space, and then type the text of the heading. The number of "#" symbols used indicates the level of the heading.
For example:
# This is a level 1 heading
## This is a level 2 heading
### This is a level 3 heading
- Emphasis To make text bold, surround it with two asterisks
**
or two underscores__
. To make text italic, surround it with one asterisk*
or one underscore_
.
For example:
**This text is bold
__This text is also bold
\This text is italic T*
_his text is also italic
- Lists To create an unordered list, start each line with a hyphen
-
, plus sign+
, or asterisk*
. To create an ordered list, start each line with a number followed by a period.
.
For example:
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
- Links To create a link, surround the link text with square brackets
[ ]
, and the link URL with parentheses( )
.
For example:
[Click here to visit Hashnode](https://hashnode.com)
- Images To add an image, use the same format as a link, but include an exclamation mark
!
before the opening square bracket.
For example:
![GitHub logo](https://github.githubassets.com/images/modules/logos_page/Octocat.png)
- Code blocks To create a code block, use three backticks
```
before and after the code. You can also specify the language of the code to enable syntax highlighting.
For example:
```python print("Hello, world!")
- Tables To create a table, use vertical bars
|
to separate columns, and hyphens-
to separate the header row from the content.
These are just the basics of Markdown, but there's a lot more you can do with it. I hope this helps you get started!
