How do I use Markdown for creating guides?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to format text easily. You can use it to create guides by using headers, lists, links, and images.

Can you give me an example of how to format a header and a list?

Sure! To create a header, you use the # symbol. For example, # My Guide creates a top-level header. For a list, you can use - for bullet points. Like this:

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3

What about adding links and images?

To add a link, you use [link text](URL). For images, it's similar: ![alt text](image URL). This will display the image in your guide.

Is there a way to preview the Markdown before publishing?

Yes! Many Markdown editors have a preview feature that shows you how your formatted text will look. You can also use online Markdown editors for instant previews.
