Italic Text can also be wrapped with single asterisks

2. Bold Text :

**Bold Text should be wrapped with double asterisks**
__Bold Text can also be wrapped with double underscores__

Output :

Bold Text should be wrapped with double asterisks

Use asterisks for strong text and underscores for italics, for better and clean code.

F. Lists :

1. Unordered Lists :

Unordered lists can be formed using asterisks(*).

* Item 1
* Item 2
* Item 3
    * Nested Item 1
    * Nested Item 2

Output :

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3
  • Nested Item 1
  • Nested Item 2

2. Ordered Lists :

Ordered lists can be formed using numbers.

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
    1. Nested Item 1
    2. Nested Item 2

Output :

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3
   1. Nested Item 1
   2. Nested Item 2

G. Code :

1. Inline Code :

For inline code, we wrap the code in back-ticks, like this : git commit -m "Initial Commit" or echo "Hello, World!"

2. Code-Blocks :

• We wrap the code-blocks with three back-ticks.

• By default, these are NOT syntax highlighted.

class MainClass {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}

• To get syntax-highlighting, we can specify the name of the language after the first 3 back-ticks.

const add = (num1, num2) => num1 + num2;

if (add(1, 2))
  console.log('The sum is a number');
else
  console.log('The sum is zero');

• Some Other Examples :

#!/usr/bin/python

def add(num1,  num2):
    return num1 + num2

#!/usr/bin/bash

npm i -D lodash
npm run build

- import React, { Component } from 'react';
+ import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

const App = () => {
  // Some lines of code
}

export default App;

G. Images

1. Syntax : ![display_name](path "alternate_text")

2. Example :

![Me](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/64031854?v=4 "TheSkinnyCoder")

3. Output :

• path can be local or external.
• Hover over the image to see the alternate text.
• Notice the space between the image's path and the alternate text.

H. Links :

1. Syntax : [display_name](url "link_text")

2. Example :

[theskinnycoder.com](theskinnycoder.com "TheSkinnyCoder")

3. Output :

theskinnycoder.com

• Hover over the link to see the link text.
• Notice the space between the link's URL and the alternate text.

NOTE : There is an exclamation mark before images, unlike links. That's the only difference

I. Tables :

J. Task-Lists :

Same as lists, but we put an 'x' in between the brackets, i.e., [], to check the box in, and leave a space( ), to check-out the box.

• Task 1
• Task 2
• Task 3
