markdown_output.jpg The image displays a document or webpage explaining the Markdown formatting language. The background is white with black text. At the very top left, there is a large heading that reads "Markdown" in blue text. Directly beneath this heading is a thin horizontal line separating it from the body of the text. Below the line, the first paragraph begins: "Markdown is an excellent formatting language for plaintext documents originally developed by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz in the early 2000s." In this sentence, the words "Markdown," "John Gruber," and "Aaron Swartz" appear as blue, underlined links. The next paragraph reads: "It focuses on using ASCII symbols within plaintext documents to specify formatting. There are many 'flavors' of Markdown, and many syntax guides out there for it. Most use a set of syntax basics derived from this with particular extensions." The phrase "a set of syntax basics derived from this" is blue and underlined, indicating another link. The following paragraph states: "Markdown allows headers (with levels denominated with the number of # symbols), allows italics, bold, code blocks, and more". In this sentence, the word "italics" is written in an italicized font style. The word "bold" is written in a thick, bold font. The phrase "code blocks" is written in a monospace, typewriter-style font. Below that is a bulleted list with three identical items: - Bulleted lists work - Bulleted lists work - Bulleted lists work Following the bullet points is a numbered list: 1. So do numbered lists 2. You don't have to actually change the numbers 3. It'll work anyways Below the numbered list is an indented section representing a blockquote. To the left of this text, there is a faint gray vertical bar indicating the indentation. The text reads: "You can make blockquotes of arbitrary length". At the very bottom of the image, there is a line of code written in a monospace font that looks like computer code. It reads: echo "You can also make code blocks" This description was generated automatically.
