How to write using markdown language

Headers

  • # sign makes the text a title
  • ## (two hash signs) make the text a subtitle
  • ### (three hash signs) make it a subsection under a subtitle

To highlight a word in a text bold and italics you use asterisks before and after the text you want. Two stars for bold, one star for italics.

Lists

  • Using hyphen creates a list item
