Markdown Guide for Community Documentation

Markdown is a lightweight markup language perfect for writing documentation, README files, and collaborative content. It allows you to format text using simple symbols while maintaining readability.

Basic Syntax Examples

• Headings: Use # for main titles and ## for subheadings

  

• Bold/Italic: Wrap text with **bold** or *italic*

  

• Lists: Create unordered lists with - or ordered lists with numbers

  

• Links: Use [text](url) to create hyperlinks

  

Best Practices for Community Use

1. Keep syntax consistent across all documents
2. Use emojis sparingly for emphasis (e.g., 📝 for notes)
3. Always include a reference to our contributing guidelines
