Basic Markdown Syntax


How to do Headings

When creating headings in markdown it is initiated with a hash (number) sign (#) followed by the word of phrase. The number of hash signs used will determined the headings level. View below for a few examples.

  1. Heading level 1

  2. Heading level 2

  3. Heading level 3

Please note that there must be a space inbetween the hash sign and the word/phrase.


Paragraphs

It is very simple to write a paragraph in markdown. Be sure to have a blank space between your heading and another body of text. Prevent indenting the paragraph with spaces or tabs.


Line Breaks

When trying to include a line break in markdown you can use a “trailing whitespace” which is two or more spaces. But due to the difficulty of seeing the “trailing whitespace” in an editor, it can cause confusion.
Therefore a <br> HTML tag can be more useful if your markdown supports HTML.

Notes: When denoting a word or phrase as a code enclose it in backticks ( as used above.


Using Emphasis

When trying to bold a word in markdown, add two asterisk or two underscore before and after the word or phrase.
When trying to italize word in markdown use one asterisk or one underscore before and after the word or phrase.
If your intension is to make a word bold and italized use three asterisk or three underscore before and after the word or phrase.
