Markdown Formatting Guide

You can create headers using the # symbol:

# Header 1
## Header 2
### Header 3

Emphasis

You can make text italic using *asterisks* or _underscores_.

You can make text bold using **double asterisks** or __double underscores__.

Lists

Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, or hyphens:

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3

Ordered lists use numbers:

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item

Links

You can create links using [text](URL).

Code

Inline code uses backticks: code

Code blocks use triple backticks:

function example() {
  console.log("Hello, world!");
}
