This paragraph is a normal paragraph. Just type a sentence, leave a blank line after it, and start the next paragraph. That blank line is what tells Markdown "this is a new paragraph" — without it, two lines of text get squashed into one.
You make text bold by wrapping it in two asterisks, like **this**.
You make text italic by wrapping it in one asterisk, like *this*.
A Section Heading
Two # symbols followed by a space makes a heading like the one above.
Use headings to break up a longer post — you don't need one at the very
top, since the title from the frontmatter already handles that.
Here's how you write a link to somewhere — square brackets around the text you want people to click, then parentheses right after with the actual web address.
Sometimes you want a list:
- First thing
- Second thing
- Third thing
Just put a dash and a space before each item.
And a pulled quote, if you want to set a line apart visually:
A sentence worth setting off on its own.
That's a > followed by a space at the start of the line.
" around the line below so it becomes live Markdown instead of a comment. -->
That's the whole toolkit: paragraphs, bold, italic, headings, links, lists, quotes, and images. You don't need anything beyond this for a good-looking post — this is genuinely the entire system.
