An introduction to Markdown

How it's written

# This is a full header
## This is a slightly smaller header
### This is even smaller
#### And so on

This text is _italic_
This text is **bold**
This text is ***Bold and italic***

Markdown doesn't automatically add line breaks sometimes.  
To force a new line, add two spaces at the end of a sentence.. Like this.  

[This is a link to Google](http://www.google.com)  
Text between [] specifies the text, text between () specifies the location it points to.

You can also use links like this: [YouTube][yt]  
The second square bracket gives an identifier for you to use..

Then, anywhere in the document, you can specify:
[yt]: http://www.youtube.com

And it will automatically use that reference.

And an image:
![](http://placehold.it/250x250)

You can leave the part between [] empty, or optionally, put some text in it.
You will see the text when you hover over the image with your mouse.

* This
* Is
* An unordered list

1. This is an ordered (numbered) list
2. With more items
3. And even more

---

That was a separator line.

You can display blocks of code, by indenting them by 1 tab:  
    <span class="example">Like this</span>

You can also create quotes, by using this format:
    > This is a quote
    > With multiple lines

Or just:
    > This is a quote
      With multiple lines

Lastly, you can also simply use HTML in your document. Like this:  
<strong>This text is bold</strong>
