What is Markdown and how do I use it?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that you can use to format plain text. It's widely used for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor.

Can you give me some examples of Markdown syntax?

Sure! For example, to create a heading, you can use the '#' symbol. One '#' for H1, '##' for H2, and so on. For bold text, you can use 'bold'.

How do I create a list in Markdown?

To create a bullet list, you can use asterisks, plus signs, or hyphens. For example:

• Item 1
• Item 2

For a numbered list, just use numbers followed by a period:

1. First item
2. Second item.

Is Markdown supported in all text editors?

Not all text editors support Markdown, but many popular ones do, like Visual Studio Code, Atom, and even some note-taking apps like Notion.
