A Baby Step into Markdown ๐Ÿ‘ถ

Hi all! As part of my Markdown course on Coursea, I'm publishing this little post. I expect to edit and manipulate it later.

One thing I learned: to make a strkethrough, we use the tilde symbol twice, ~~ , so it would be like this.

Bold and italic is also on, either by using the asterisk, ** for bold and * for italic on each side of the text, or by the underline again __ for bold and _ for italic. Underline is not natively supported by Markdown. HTML may well work here, though.

/* blockquote {
background: #f9f9f9;
border-left: 10px solid #ccc;
margin: 1.5em 10px;
padding: 0.15em 10px;
} */

Let's see how this blockquote thingy works.

Ah, I see we should actually use the > sign.

Like this

Or even this, with two >>'s

OK, time to make a like with three dashes, like ---


There it is!
