What is Markdown ?
Markdown is the markup language for user content at GitHub and allows users at all skill levels to write plain text documents
Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor. John Gruber and Aaron Swartz created Markdown in 2004 as a markup language that is appealing to human readers in its source code form.
Basic Markdown Syntax :

1.Heading :
- To create a heading, add number signs ( # ) in front of a word or phrase. The number of number signs you use should correspond to the heading level. For example, to create a heading you can use the below syntax
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
..
..
..
..
###### Heading 6
Output
2.Bold :
- To bold text, add two asterisks or underscores before and after a word or phrase. To bold the middle of a word for emphasis, add two asterisks without spaces around the letters.
**bold text** __bold text__Output
3.Italic :
- To italicize text, add one asterisk or underscore before and after a word or phrase. To italicize the middle of a word for emphasis, add one asterisk without spaces around the letters
*italicized text* _italicized text_Output
4.Blockquote :
- To create a blockquote, start a line with greater than > followed by an optional space. Blockquotes can be nested, and can also contain other formatting. To keep the quote together, blank lines inside the quote must contain the > character.
> blockquoteOutput
5.Ordered List :
- To create an ordered list, add line items with numbers followed by periods. The numbers don't have to be in numerical order, but the list should start with the number one.

7.Code :
- There are two ways to format code in Markdown. You can either use inline code, by putting backticks (`) around parts of a line, or you can use a code block, which some renderers will apply syntax highlighting to
`code`

8.Horizontal Rule :
- You can create a horizontal rule by placing 3 or more hyphens, asterisks, or underscores on a single line by themselves. You can also place spaces between them.
