Quick Markdown Syntax Reference

Need a refresher on Markdown? Here's a handy cheat sheet for the most common syntax!

Headings: Use # for <h1>, ## for <h2>, and so on, up to ###### for <h6>.
```
# This is an H1
## This is an H2
### This is an H3
```
Emphasis:
- Italic text: Surround with single asterisks (*) or underscores (_).
```
*This text will be italic*
_This text will also be italic_
```
- Bold text: Surround with double asterisks (**) or underscores (__).
```
**This text will be bold**
__This text will also be bold__
```
- Bold and italic text: Surround with triple asterisks (***) or underscores (___).
```
***This text will be bold and italic***
___This text will also be bold and italic___
```
- ~~Strikethrough~~ text: Surround with double tildes (~~).
```
~~This text will be strikethrough~~
```
Lists:
- Unordered lists: Use asterisks (*), plus signs (+), or hyphens (-) followed by a space.
```
* Item 1
+ Item 2
- Item 3
```
  Renders as:
  - Item 1
  - Item 2
  - Item 3
- Ordered lists: Use numbers followed by a period and a space.
```
1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item
```
  Renders as:
  1. First item
  2. Second item
  3. Third item
Links: Use square brackets for the link text and parentheses for the URL. You can optionally add a title in quotes after the URL.
```
[Click here to visit Google](https://www.google.com "Google's Homepage")
```
Renders as: Click here to visit Google
Images: Similar to links, but with an exclamation mark (!) at the beginning. The alt text goes in the square brackets.
```
![Alt text for the image](https://via.placeholder.com/150 "Image Title")
```
Renders as:
Blockquotes: Use the greater-than sign (>).
```
> This is a blockquote. It can span multiple lines.
> You can even have nested blockquotes:
>> This is a nested blockquote.
```
Renders as:

This is a blockquote. It can span multiple lines. You can even have nested blockquotes:

This is a nested blockquote.
Inline code: Surround code with backticks (`).
```
The `printf()` function is used to display output.
```
Renders as: The printf() function is used to display output.

Code blocks: Use triple backticks (`````) before and after the code block. You can optionally specify the language for syntax highlighting.

```python
def greet(name):
    print(f"Hello, {name}!")

greet("World")

Renders as:

def greet(name):
    print(f"Hello, {name}!")

greet("World")

Horizontal rule: Use three or more asterisks (***), hyphens (---), or underscores (___) on a line by themselves.
```
