This text will be bold This will also be bold

You can combine them

This text you see here is actually written in Markdown! To get a feel for Markdown's syntax, type some text into the left window and watch the results in the right. This line ends with a line break. This is the next line. There is some bold text, and some italic text. After this line, there is an empty line.

So this is now a new paragraph. This is how inline code style looks like. The next is a horizontal line.

Blockquotes

Blockquotes are not supported in our markdown setup. Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text-formatting syntax, created in 2004 by John Gruber with Aaron Swartz.

Markdown is often used to format readme files, for writing messages in online discussion forums, and to create rich text using a plain text editor.
