And that’s how to do it.
Headings
There are six levels of headings. They correspond with the six levels of HTML headings. You’ve probably noticed them already in the page. Each level down uses one more hash character. But we are using just 4 of them.

Lists

- Number 3
Unordered list
- An item
- Another item

Paragraph modifiers
Quote
Here is a quote. What this is should be self explanatory. Quotes are automatically indented when they are used.
URLs
URLs can be made in a handful of ways:
- A named link to Mark It Down.
- Another named link to Mark It Down
- Sometimes you just want a URL like http://markitdown.net/.
Horizontal rule
A horizontal rule is a line that goes across the middle of the page. It’s sometimes handy for breaking things up.
Images
Markdown can also contain images. I’ll need to add something here sometime.
Figure Caption?
Bigger Images?
