| Format Using Markdown |
Markdown is a simple way of writing text to format your content. Markdown allows you easy ways to format.
- Headings (h1 (largest), h2, h3, h4 and so on)
- Paragraphs
- Lists (numbered or bulleted)
- Hyper links (links to other pages)
- Images
- Code
- Embed HTML (HTML tags within your text)
Headings
Headings are specified by adding a # (hash) at the beginning of the line. The more the number of hashes, the smaller the heading:
# This is a large heading.
### This is a smaller heading.
Paragraphs
To start a new paragraph, just make sure that there is an empty line at the beginning and end of the paragraph.
To format text as bold or with italics format as follows:
**This text** is **bold** and _this one_ is with _italics_
Lists
To define numbered lists, start your link with a number and a dot (.) and ensure there is a blank line before and after the list. The numbers are automatically generated so it does not matter what number you put:
1. list 1st item
1. second item
1. and so on
1. and so forth
To define bulleted lists, start your items with a hyphen (-)
- item 1
- item 2
- item 3
To nest lists within one another, put four spaces to indent your inner list as follows:
1. item 1
1. item 2
- sub item 1
- sub item 2
1. item 3
Links (to other pages)
Links to other pages can be defined by adding your text in box brackets [] followed by the link in round brackets ()
[This is an external link](http://example.com)
[A link within the site](my-page.html)
Images
Images can be added by adding an exclamation ! before the link.
Code
To add a code block, just leave a blank line before and after the block and make sure all code line are indented by four spaces:
This is normal text
This is a code block
HTML
You can embed any kind of HTML tags within your code. Any content written within HTML tags will not be formatted.
