Markdown quick reference
# Heading through ###### Heading · **bold** · *italic* · `inline code` · triple backticks for code blocks · - item for lists · 1. item for numbered lists · [text](url) for links · > quote for blockquotes · --- for a horizontal rule.
Where markdown is used
README files on GitHub, documentation sites, Reddit and Discord messages, static site generators, note apps like Obsidian, and most developer tools. Writing it once and previewing here saves round trips of commit-and-check.
