Markdown Formatting Reference

Do not publish — this is a tutorial for the curation team. It is a living reference for every Markdown feature the blog editor supports.

Headings

Use two hash marks for a main section, three for a subsection.

A subsection

Headings never need a level one — the post title above already fills that role.

Text styling

You can write bold, italic, bold and italic, and strikethrough inline.

Links and images

Here is a link to the submission page. Markdown images work inline too:

Lists

Unordered, with nesting:

• First item
• Second item
  • A nested item
• Third item

Ordered:

1. First step
2. Second step
3. Third step

Task lists:

• Draft the outline
• Add screenshots
• Publish

Blockquotes

A single-line quote reads like this.

A blockquote can span multiple paragraphs too.

Code

Inline code looks like const rentalPrice = 3.

A fenced block with a language tag:

function greet(name) {
  return `Hello, ${name}!`
}

Tables

Horizontal rule

Everything above this line is one section.

Everything below it is another.
