Learning Markdown

Headings

Create a first-level heading with # followed by a space and the heading text:

# First-level heading
## Second-level heading
### Third-level heading

Continue adding # characters for deeper heading levels.

Text emphasis

*Hello, World!*       <!-- italic -->
**Hello, World!**     <!-- bold -->
***Hello, World!***   <!-- bold italic -->
~~Hello, World!~~     <!-- strikethrough -->

The marker characters must touch the text; the spaces in explanatory examples should be removed.

Block quotes

Prefix the line with > and a space:

This is a quotation.

Horizontal rules

Three hyphens create a horizontal rule:

Lists

Ordered and unordered lists look like this:

1. First
2. Second

- Item A
- Item B

Tables

| Name  | Gender | Birthday |
| ----- | ------ | -------- |
| Zhang | Male   | 2000.0.0 |

When editing the source, remove unnecessary spaces if your Markdown editor does not render the table as expected.

Code blocks

Use three backticks and optionally name the language:

public

The language name, such as java or cpp, enables syntax highlighting.
