# 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__

~~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.
    • Indented two spaces with a +.

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.

Right aligned columns use a colon to end the line of hashes.

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.
