Description

Example

Output

Bold

To create bold text, wrap the text in double asterisks.

To avoid creating bold text, place a backslash in front of each asterisk, and then escape it (total of two backslashes).

**bold text**
\\*\\*ignore bold text**

Italics

To create italicized text, wrap the text in single asterisks.

To avoid creating italic text, place a backslash in front of your text.

*italic text*

\*ignore italic text*

New Line

To create a line break, add a backslash, followed by an n (\n).

the first line\nthe second line

Spaces

To add more than one space in a line, use a non-breaking space.

 

 

Indentation

To create an indentation, start a line with a ">".

To end indentation and start a new paragraph, put newline character "\n" twice.

>

\nparagraph with indentation line 2\n\na new paragraph

Headers

To create a header, start a line with a hash "#". The more "#'s" that you use, the smaller the header will be. The headers must be preceded by a new line "\n".

# header1\n

## header2\n

### header3\n

Unordered Lists

To create unordered lists, use either asterisks "*", plus "+", or hyphens "-" as list markers.

* item1\n

- item2\n

+ item3\n

Ordered lists

To create ordered lists use numbers followed by period "." or right parenthesis ")".

1. item1

2. item2

3. item3

or

1) item1

2) item2

3) item3

Nested lists

To create nested lists start with a new line and use four (4) spaces in front of every sub-list item.

1) item1\n    a. sub-item11\n    b. sub-item12\n    c. sub-item13

2) item1\n    a. sub-item21\n    b. sub-item22\n    c. sub-item23

3) item1\n    a. sub-item31\n    b. sub-item32\n    c. sub-item33

 

Some of the lists above have indentations in front. If this is the case you, use a new line character (\n) twice after the list.

1) list1\n2) list2\n3) list3\n\na new paragraph

Links

To create a link, enclose your text with square brackets [],

To create inline links, enclose the link URL with parenthesis ().

To display only the link without any text, enclose the link URL with greater than and less than characters <>. Note that the URL must include either "http://" or "https://".

[Link text](Link URL) [click me](https://www.example.com)

<Link URL> <https://www.example.com>
