Markdown Syntax guide

Markdown is a lightweight and easy-to-use syntax for styling all forms of writing on the GitLab platform.

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; formatting words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like # or *.

Syntax guide

Here’s an overview of Markdown syntax that you can use anywhere on GitLab or in your own text files.

Headers

# This is an <h1> tag
## This is an <h2> tag
###### This is an <h6> tag

Emphasis

*This text will be italic*
_This will also be italic_

**This text will be bold**
__This will also be bold__

_You **can** combine them_

Lists

Unordered

* Item 1
* Item 2
  * Item 2a
  

Ordered

1. Item 1
1. Item 2
1. Item 3
   1. Item 3a
   1. Item 3b

Blockquotes

As Kanye West said:

> We're living the future so
> the present is our past.

Inline code

I think you should use an
`<addr>` element here instead.

Task Lists

- [x] @mentions, #refs, [links](), **formatting**, and <del>tags</del> supported
- [x] list syntax required (any unordered or ordered list supported)
- [x] this is a complete item
- [ ] this is an incomplete item

Tables

You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens - (for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe |:

First Header | Second Header
------------ | -------------
Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2
Content in the first column | Content in the second column

Would become:
