What is Markdown ?

---

Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor. John Gruber and Aaron Swartz created Markdown in 2004 as a markup language that is appealing to human readers in its source code form.

Let's Start

• Heading In Markdown

  You can create 6 level or types of heading in markdown

  # H1
  ## H2
  ### H3
  #### H4
  ##### H5
  ###### H6
  

  0utput

  h1

  h2

  h3

  h4

  h5

  h6

  basically number of # is equal to level of heading and don't forget about space after # sily mistakes.

• Text Formating In Markdown

  You can make text bold, italic and ~~Strikethrough~~ in markdown

  Look like hasnode doesn't support Strikethrough

  Italics, aka emphasis, with *asterisks* or _underscores_.
  
  Bold, aka strong emphasis, with **asterisks** or __underscores__.
  
  Both bold and italics with **asterisks and _underscores_**.
  
  Strikethrough uses two tildes. ~~Scratch this.~~
  

  Output

  Italics, aka emphasis, with asterisks or underscores.

  Bold, aka strong emphasis, with asterisks or underscores.

  Both bold and italics with asterisks and underscores.

  Strikethrough uses two tildes. Scratch this.
