# Markdown Reference
Headings are created by placing betweeen one and eight hashes (#) at the start of a line.
For example, the line below begins with a single hash:
# Level 1 Header
# Level 1 Header
while the next line begins with four hashes in a row:
#### Level 4 Header
# Level 4 Header
To create a horizontal rule, just place three underscore characters at the start of a line:
___
Text can be made bold with two asterisks (**) surronding the text:
**This text has two asterisks before and after it.**
This text has two asterisks before and after it.
Use underscores instead for italic text and ~ for strikethrough.
__underscored text__
underscored text
~~strikethrough~~

Place a greater sign (>) at the beginning of a line to create block (indented) text. Add additional > characters to increase the indention.
> This text has a single greater than symbol as the first character.
>> This text has two.
>>>> This text has four.
This text has a single greater than symbol as the first character.
This text has two.
This text has four.
Lists are created by starting a line with a +. Add sublists by indenting the text two spaces.
+ First item with a + at the beginning.
+ Second item with a + at the beginning.
+ Indented two spaces with a +.
- First item with a + at the beginning.
- Second item with a + at the beginning.

Create a block of code by placing three backquote characters in a row: ```
This is a block of code. The ``` should appear on a line by themselves before and after the block.
Code blocks can have syntax highlighting if the name of the programming language is listed after the ```.
var test = "test"
Tables use veritcal bars to seperate columns and horizontal dashes to seperate headers from the body.

Links can be confusing. A link has three parts, the title, the URL, and the help text to display when the link is hovered over.
