This is a header - it's big

In general, you can just type away, but there are a number of markers that are nice to know.

If you want to quote something from text, use >:

this is how I would quote some text from another source. This is especially nice if it's a longer quote. Is this long enough? I'm just making up words as I write.

More pound signs mean smaller headers

Below, see my example of writing python code:

print("hello world")

You can also have it apply syntax highlighting of other languages, like java:

System.out.println("hello world")

If you would like to reference keywords inside a sentence, such as for or while, you can use backquotes.

If you would like to insert a link, put the linked text in brackets with the url in parentheses.

Other things

Markdown is also good at lists:

• for
• example
• this

Or numbered lists

1. for
2. example
3. this
