Markdown Guide.

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that you can use to add formatting elements to plain text documents. It's widely used for creating documents that can be easily converted to HTML. Here's a comprehensive Markdown guide with explanations:

Headers

# Header 1
## Header 2
### Header 3
#### Header 4
##### Header 5
###### Header 6

Headers are created using the # symbol. The number of # symbols indicates the level of the header.

Emphasis

*italic* or _italic_
**bold** or __bold__

You can create italic text by enclosing the text in either single or double asterisks (*), and bold text by enclosing it in double asterisks (**).

Lists

Unordered List

- Item 1
- Item 2
  - Subitem 2.1
  - Subitem 2.2
* Item 3

Create an unordered list using - or * followed by a space.

Ordered List

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
   1. Subitem 2.1
   2. Subitem 2.2
3. Item 3

Create an ordered list using numbers followed by a period and a space.

Links

[Link Text](URL)

Create a hyperlink using square brackets for the link text followed by parentheses containing the URL.

Images

![Alt Text](image-url)

Insert images using an exclamation mark, square brackets for alt text, and parentheses containing the image URL.

• Similar to links, but with an exclamation mark in front.
• Replace "Alt Text" with a description of the image.
• Replace "ImageURL" with the actual URL of the image.

Blockquotes

> This is a blockquote.

• Use the greater-than symbol (>) to create a blockquote.

Code

Inline Code

`inline code`

Enclose inline code in backticks.

Code Blocks

```python
def example():
    print("Hello, World!")

Create code blocks by wrapping the code in triple backticks.

```

```

You can specify the language for syntax highlighting after the opening backticks.

Horizontal Rule

Insert a horizontal rule with three consecutive hyphens, underscores, or asterisks.

Tables

Markdown tables are created using a combination of vertical bars | and hyphens - to define the structure of the table.

Here's a basic example of a Markdown table:

| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
|----------|----------|----------|
| Row 1    | Data 1   | Data 2   |
| Row 2    | Data 3   | Data 4   |

Markdown table output:

Header 1	Header 2	Header 3
Row 1	Data 1	Data 2
Row 2	Data 3	Data 4

This Markdown code will produce a simple table with three columns and two rows.

Markdown Table Syntax:

• Each row of the table is represented by a new line.
• Columns are separated by vertical bars |.
• The first row typically contains column headers, which are separated from the rest of the rows by a line containing hyphens -.
• Alignment of columns can be specified by using colons : within the header separator line.
  • A colon on the left indicates left alignment.
  • A colon on the right indicates right alignment.
  • Colons on both sides indicate center alignment.

Example of Column Alignment:

| Left-aligned | Center-aligned | Right-aligned |
|:-------------|:--------------:|--------------:|
| Data 1       |    Data 2      |       Data 3  |
| More data    |  Even more     |        Final  |

Markdown table output:

Left-aligned	Center-aligned	Right-aligned
Data 1	Data 2	Data 3
More data	Even more	Final

Create tables using pipe (|) separators and hyphens for the header.

Escaping Characters

\*escaped\*

Escape characters with a backslash to display them as regular characters.

Footnotes

Here is a sentence with a footnote[^1].

[^1]: This is the footnote text.

Create footnotes using square brackets and a caret (^) followed by the footnote number.

Strikethrough

~~Strikethrough~~

Use two tilde symbols (~~) to create strikethrough text.

Emoji

💡🔗👉📝✅❌

You can add any emojis to your Markdown documents using emoji codes.

Suppression of Markdown Elements

\*This will not be italic\*

Use a backslash to escape Markdown characters and prevent them from being treated as formatting.
