Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows us to write in easy-to-read text format and convert it into XHTML (or HTML) to display in a browser or another writing program.
Paragraph
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit,
sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut
labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Output:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Line-Break
To insert a line break into your Markdown file, finish your line with at least two spaces and press ENTER key. It will render a new line for your text.
Hey there
I'm a coder.
Output:
Hey there
I'm a coder.
Text Formatting
1. Using Italics in text
To use Italics in text, surround the targeted part of text with single asterisks (*) or single underscores (_).
This is *Morax*.
I'm a _programmer_.
Output:
This is Morax.
I'm a programmer.
2. Using Bold in text
Bold text is created by using two asterisks (**) or two underscores (__).
This is **Morax**.
I'm a __programmer__.
Output:
This is Morax.
I'm a programmer.
3. Using Asterisk or Underscore in a Text
To use a literal asterisk or Underscore in a text, precede it with an escape character backslash ()
e.g.,
\_This is all \*\*plain\*\* text\_.
Output:
_This is all **plain** text_.
Horizontal Line
To draw Horizontal rule, put three or more hyphens (-), asterisks (*), or underscores (_) in a new line.
