Markdown Guide

Learn the essential Markdown syntax with clear explanations and copyable examples.

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight way to format plain text. You add small, readable characters to create headings, emphasis, links, lists, tables, and code.

Basic syntax

# Heading

**bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~, [link](https://example.com)

Lists and code

- First item
- Second item

```js
const ready = true
```

Common mistakes

Leave a blank line around headings, lists, and code fences. Check that every link has both a label and a destination.
