Mastering Markdown: A Comprehensive Guide

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, which is then converted into structurally valid HTML.

Text Formatting

You can make text bold by wrapping it in double asterisks, or italic with single asterisks. You can even combine them for bold and italic.
