How to use Markdown for rich text editing

Markdown is a simple syntax for adding rich content to text without the complexity of HTML or other formatting languages.

Markdown is intended to be easy to read even without the formatting applied.

Headers

To make a header in Markdown, start the line with one or more hash symbols (#) to indicate the header level. So "# Header" is a level 1 header while "### Header" is a level 3 header.

# Header Level 1

Some Text

## Header Level 2

A paragraph of text below the Level 2 header.

Lists

Simply start lists with the number of the item followed by a dot, or a hyphen for non-numbered lists. Sub-lists are simply prefixed with additional spaces.

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
  2.1 Item 2 sub section 1

- Item 1
- Item 2
  - Item 2.1
    - Item 2.1.1

Emphasis

To emphasize a word or phrase, surround them with asterisks (usually italics). To further emphasize the text, use two asterisks (usually bold).

This is an *italic* word and this is **bold** word
