Basic markdown style guide

— Updated

This is an example post to demonstrate all the basic markdown syntax. You can author content using the familiar markdown syntax you already know.

Inline formatting​

Bold: This text is bold.

Italics: This text is italics.

Strikethrough: You can strikethrough text.

Inline code: You can add inline code like this const hello = "world".

Headings​

The following HTML <h2>—<h6> elements represent five levels of section headings. <h1> is also available but not recommended since the post title is already a <h1> element it is not a good practice to have more than one <h1> elements in a page.

H2: Heading Two​

H3: Heading Three​

H4: Heading Four​

H5: Heading Five
H6: Heading Six

Paragraph​

A standalone single paragraph of text.

Paragraphs can be multiline too when they constitute words that make up more than one line, i.e they wrap to the next line. Wow! I am really smart to write two lines of text that makes zero sense.

Blockquotes​

This is a blockquote. And it’s pretty long too. Long enough to wrap to next line. Surely it will wrap. You can use other Markdown syntax like inline code within a blockquote.

Tables​
