What is Markdown?

Markdown is a one of free simple markup language with easy formatting syntax. It is used for creating the webpages ,documents and any text that needs to be transformed into other formats like HTML.

Markdown Basics:

1.Heading:

To create the heading use a hash mark(#) at the beginning of a line.

2.Basic text:

A paragraph requires no special syntax in Markdown.

To format text as bold, you enclose it in two asterisks. To format text as italic, you enclose it in a single asterisk:

3.Numbered lists and bullet lists:

To create numbered lists, begin a line with 1. or 1), but don’t use both formats within the same list. You don’t need to specify the numbers. GitHub does that for you.

4.Strikethrough:

Strikethrough in Markdown is used to create a horizontal line on the middle of the text. It is different from the underline command. The underline command creates a line below the text, while the strikethrough command creates a line in the middle of the text.

4.Links:

The Markdown syntax for an inline link consists of the [link text] portion, which is the text that will be hyperlinked, followed by the (file-name.md) portion, which is the URL .

5.Code blocks:

Use back ticks (`) to create inline code styles within a paragraph. To create a specific multi-line code block, add three back ticks (```) before and after the code block.

6.Image:

The syntax for images is similar to the links except the exclamatory symbol at the beginning. Images in Markdown can be created by inserting the image name inside the square brackets and image link URL inside the parenthesis with an exclamatory symbol at the beginning.
