7.2 Markdown

Markdown is one of the world’s most popular markup languages that can be used to add formatting elements to plaintext text documents. Markdown uses symbols like asterisks and dashes to create formatting like headings and bold text. This makes it quicker to write than complex HTML code. Markdown prioritizes readability by utilizing plain text and clear symbols to ensure the code remains easy to understand.

The table below lists the Markdown syntax that Specador recognizes. For more details see https://www.markdownguide.org/.
