a guide to markdown

Most of what I will talk about can be found here. (It probably explains it better than I do lol)

DocDepot allows you to upload your markdown documents to make them available to the world, but what is markdown? If you already know what markdown is, then visit the doc depot guide to learn how to use it.

Overview

Markdown is a way to write styled pieces of text with basic syntax. You can use '#'s to make headings of different sized, '-'s to make lists, '*' to make text bold and italic, '[]()' to make links and more.

In just a few minutes you can write an extremely clear and cohesive piece of text which is enjoyable to read, just by using a few symbols.

Paragraphs

A paragraph is the most basic element in a markdown document. It is just simply unstyled text. The words describing it here are a paragraph element.

Headings

Headings are bold and much bigger than paragraphs and are use to break up your document into sections. From level 1 to 3 they get smaller.

The heading just above this paragraph is a heading level 3, while the heading at the very top of the page is a heading level 1.

  • # - Heading level 1
  • ## - Heading level 2
  • ### - Heading level 3
