MarkDown

Markdown is a computer language that allows you to write text that can be converted into HTML.

Here is a wonderful page: https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/

Bold

Surround text with an 2 underscores or 2 asterisks to make it italic.

You can only do one paragraph at a time, so if it’s multiple paragraphs to italisize, then surround each paragraph with asterisks or underscores.

Italics

Surround text with an underscore or asterisk to make it italic.

You can only do one paragraph at a time, so if it’s multiple paragraphs to italisize, then surround each paragraph with asterisks.

Lists

Ordered Lists - a number followed by a period. (It does not need to be sequential)

Nested Lists are allowed - just indent the list item by two spaces.

Unordered lists - a dash followed by a space. (or an asterisk or a plus)

Tables

There are a few ways to represent a table in markdown.

Embed the table in a code block using the ```` notation. That is surround your table with three backticks.

A second way is to start the command with pipes and end with pipes. For example

| Column Title | Column Title 2 | Column Title 3 |
|----------|----------|----------|
| column 1 value | Cell 2   | Cell 3   |
| Cell 4   | Cell 5   | Cell 6   |

This will render as

Column Title	Column Title 2	Column Title 3
column 1 value	Cell 2	Cell 3
Cell 4	Cell 5	Cell 6
