Something I came to the realization of last week is that I don’t really know much about Markdown syntax. Its seems kind of important thing to learn if I’m going to continue to write this blog in Markdown. The few times I decided to make a nice readme.md in the past I’ve used ChatGPT to write it for me, which isn’t always the best practice. Especially if I want to customize it to my liking without asking the bot a billion questions/revisions.

Element Markdown Syntax

Italic *italicized test*
Blockquote > blockquote
Ordered List 1. First item

Unordered List - First Item

- Third Item
Code `code`
Horizontal Rule —

The majority of these are self explanitory, but I wanted to show a few examples.

Headings

The word headings above is an h3 heading its self. It makes the text bigger and spaces it. The h2 is larger than h3, and h1 is the largest.

Blockquote

This is block quote. It makes it stand out a bit.

Code

Code is for individual code snippets. It can highlight certain commands and or functions you want to talk about.

Horizontal Rule

That gives you a break to split up sections a little bit as seen below.



I hope this guide helps to make your next MD file look extra stunning!
