Here I’ll be showing you guys some basic markdown, the best text markup software around. This is an example of the content you will unlock with a membership!
Getting Started:
You can use markdown is many places, and it will always work the same, but today we’ll talk about the most common markdown tags you will be using when publishing to the blog!
Headers:
The most basic element to any document are titles, headers and body content! In markdown, you can specify a couple header types. Title, Header 1, Header 2, all the way up to Header 5. You can use these in the following ways.
# Title!
## Headers look like this!
### Header 2 looks like this!
#### Header 3
##### Hopefully you get the point now...
###### And the smallest, Header 5
Those headings come out to look like this!
Title!
Headers look like this!
Header 2 looks like this!
Header 3
Hopefully you get the point now…
And the smallest, Header 5
Bold, Italics, Underlines and Strikethroughs
Just like in discord markdown, bold, italics, underlines and strikethroughs use the symbols shown below.
**BOLD TEXT**
*Italics**
__Underlines__
~Strikethrough~
And just like last time, here they are demonstrated!
BOLD TEXT
Italics
Underlines
Strikethrough
Code blocks and Block Quotes
once again, exactly like discord…
Code Blocks
(excluding the backslashes)
/```JavaScript
function hello() {
console.log("Hello, World!")
}
hello()
/```
and in use:
function hello() {
console.log("Hello, World!")
}
hello()
Block Quotes
> Block quote... Nice!
>
> Goes down here too!!
once again, in use:
Block quote… Nice!
Goes down here too!!
Images and Links
Both of these attributes are quite similar, so Ill cover them both under the same section.

Images
Images can optionally be given a caption using the following method. For just the image, do not include |:-----:| and the text below it.
Sub & Superscript
For sub and superscript, we use the HTML tags for it.
<sub>sub</sub>scipt
<sup>super</sup>script
and in use:
subscript
superscript
Using HTML:
You can pretty seamlessly integrate html code into your markdown files! To do so, literally just use the tags you want and put it where you want! Just make sure to preview the output before using it.
Other:
There are many more markdown uses, such as tables and charts but I wont cover them here. If you need more help, feel free to contact me (Golden!!#8008) on discord or look up your question for more info.
