How to write well-formatted markdown
Markdown is a lightweight markup language used to format plain text. It’s simple and intuitive, making it a popular choice for README files, documentation, and note-taking. Writing in Markdown involves using special characters to indicate formatting, such as headers, lists, emphasis, and links.
To create headings, use one or more # symbols at the start of a line. For example, # Heading 1, ## Heading 2, and so on. To emphasize text, wrap it in asterisks or underscores: italic or bold. You can create unordered lists using hyphens, plus signs, or asterisks.
