Here are the essentials.  \n\n| STYLIZE TEXT |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| italic | *italic* |\n| bold | **bold** |\n| ~~strikethrough~~ | ~~strikethrough~~ |\n| code in-line | `code in-line` |\n| \u003Cbr>code block | ```code block``` |\n| > text | blockquote |\n\n\n| \\# Text | H1 |\n| --- | --- |\n| \\#\\# Text | H2 |\n| \\#\\#\\# Text | H3 |\n| --- | Horizontal Rule |\n\nHEADERS AND BREAKS  \n\n| \u003Cbr>LISTS\u003Cbr>Lists can be unordered or ordered, which is determined by the symbol used to list them. Unordered lists have either- , + , or * , while ordered lists require any integer followed by a . or ) character.\u003Cbr>An ordered list: |\n| --- |\n| 1. First item\u003Cbr>2. Second item\u003Cbr>3. Third item |\n| Unordered List: |\n| - First item\u003Cbr>-Second item\u003Cbr>-Third item |\n| Combining the two: |\n| \u003Cbr>1. First ordered list item\u003Cbr>1. Second ordered list item (which shows as 2.)\u003Cbr>1. (Markdown ignores the written number in favor of enumerating by integer)\u003Cbr>- Indented lists require four spaces in most specifications\u003Cbr>-Sublists are implementation specific\u003Cbr>-Try it out and render to be sure it works\u003Cbr>1. Continuing the list after an indentation |\n\n\n| \u003Cbr>TABLES\u003Cbr>Tables are a common extension of the official markdown definition (CommonMark) . They can be formatted in quite a lot of ways: |\n| --- |\n| \u003Cbr>| Column Title | Another Column | One More |\u003Cbr>| :------------------| :----------| :---------|\u003Cbr>| **Bolded text** | Columns don’t need to be aligned | |\u003Cbr>| Or even filled in | | code | |\n| Renders as:\u003Cbr>Column Title Another Column One More bolded text Columns don’t need to be aligned |\n| Or even filled in \u003Cbr>code |\n| That can be painful to look at. Here’s a prettier example with alignment based on the placement of the : in the table structure:\u003Cbr>Tables Are Cool : : : : col 1 is left-aligned $1 col 2 is centered $2 col 3 is right-aligned $3\u003Cbr>Tables Are Cool col 1 is left-aligned $1 |\n| col 2 is centered $2 |\n| col 3 is right-aligned $3\u003Cbr>Tables are always a little tricky to remember. Use available online tools to help build them, like: [https://csvtomd.com](https://csvtomd.com) |\n\n\n| \u003Cbr>LINKS\u003Cbr>There are two ways to create links. The most commonly used format includes\u003Cbr>brackets followed by parentheses: []() . To render a link to an image, begin with a !. Examples. |\n| --- |\n| [Link inline this way]([https://opensource.com](https://opensource.com) )\u003Cbr>[Or add a title for the link]([https://opensource.com](https://opensource.com) \"Google's Homepage\")[Here is a relative link within a repository]( . ./blob/master/LICENSE)|\n| The second format involves brackets,[][] or [], followed by a reference formatted with a bracket and colon,[]: , anywhere else in the document.\u003Cbr>Examples. |\n| [Reference-style link][Case-insensitive Reference Text][Numbers are commonly used][1]\u003Cbr>[Text can link on its own as a reference]\u003Cbr>[case-insensitive reference text]: [https://opensource.com](https://opensource.com)\u003Cbr>[1]: [https://opensource.com](https://opensource.com)\u003Cbr>[text can link on its own as a reference]: [https://opensource.com](https://opensource.com) |\n| URLs, in and out of angle brackets, will automatically get turned into links with most implementations.\u003Cbr>Example. |\n| \u003Cbr>Both [https://opensource.com](https://opensource.com) and \u003C[https://opensource.com](https://opensource.com) > will render as links, as well as [opensource.com](opensource.com) on some renderings. |\n\n[opensource.com](opensource.com) [Twitter](Twitter @opensourceway | facebook.com/opensourceway | CC)[ @](Twitter @opensourceway | facebook.com/opensourceway | CC)[opensourceway](Twitter @opensourceway | facebook.com/opensourceway | CC)[ |](Twitter ","cbCaisttpc5h6uaV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisttpc5h6uaV","pdf",161443,"English","# Stylize Text\n# Headers and Breaks\n# Lists\n# Tables\n# Links\n# GitHub Flavored Markdown","[{\"question\":\"What are the basic ways to style text in Markdown?\",\"answer\":\"Use *italic* for italics, **bold** for bold, and ~~strikethrough~~ for strikethrough.
