Markdown Formatting
Introduction
In this topic, we will cover the basics of professional markdown formatting for creating clear and structured topics. Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax designed so that it can be converted to HTML and other formats.
Headings
Headings are used to structure the document and create a hierarchy of information. In markdown, headings are created using hash symbols (#). The number of hash symbols indicates the level of the heading, with one hash symbol (#) being the highest level and six hash symbols (######) being the lowest level.
Subheadings
Subheadings can be used to further divide the content under each main heading.
Text Formatting
Markdown supports various text formatting options, including:
-
Bold: Use double asterisks or double underscores (**bold** or __bold__)
-
Italic: Use single asterisks or single underscores (*italic* or _italic_)
-
Code: Use backticks (`code`)
Code Blocks
To format code blocks, use triple backticks
(```(your code block language)
(content)
```)
to start and end the block. For example:
def greet(name):
print(f"Hello, {name}!")
