Markdown (.md) CheatSheet

I asked ChatGPT if it could quickly write me something so I can reference for Markdown styles to implement. The official guide is available here:

# Exploring Markdown Styles

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to format text without the need for complex HTML tags. It's widely used for creating content on the web, in documentation, and even for writing blog articles. In this article, we'll explore some of the different styles you can implement using Markdown.

## Headers

You can create headers by using hash symbols (`#`). The number of hash symbols indicates the level of the header.

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3

## Emphasis

You can add emphasis to your text using asterisks (`*`) or underscores (`_`).

*This text will be italic.*
_This text will also be italic._

**This text will be bold.**
__This text will also be bold.__

## Lists

Markdown supports both ordered and unordered lists.

Unordered list:
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3

Ordered list:
1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item

## Links

Adding links is simple.

## Blockquotes

Blockquotes can be used to highlight quotes or sections from other sources.

## Code

Markdown makes it easy to include code snippets.

Inline code: `print("Hello, Markdown!")`

Code block:

def greet(name):
print(“Hello, ” + name + “!”)

## Horizontal Rule

You can create a horizontal rule with three or more hyphens, asterisks, or underscores.

## Conclusion

Markdown is a versatile language that allows you to create well-structured and visually appealing content without the need for complex formatting. Experiment with these styles to enhance your documents and blog articles!

Happy writing!

I haven’t quite figured out how to display this in Markdown officially on this blog but once I do, I’ll be sure to update this post. I’m guessing some plugin…
