Markdown Syntax

Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; forming words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown.

Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like # or *

We can categorize Markdown Syntax as below:

Headers #Headers

# Heading 1 - The <h1> tag
## Heading 2 - The <h2> tag
### Heading 3 - The <h3> tag
#### Heading 4 - The <h4> tag
##### Heading 5 - The <h5> tag
###### Heading 6 - The <h6> tag

Lists #Lists

We can display ordered list and unordered list with markdown.

Ordered List #Ordered List
