| Format | 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). |
|
|
| 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 ().
