Markdown

General

 

Markdown is an easy-to-use markup language that is used with plain text to add formatting elements (headings, bulleted lists, URLs) to plain text without the use of a formal text editor or HTML tags. Markdown can be used for everything, for example, to create websites, documents, notes, books, presentations, email messages, and technical documentation. In Virola Messenger you can use Markdown to send formatted messages. Here are basic guidelines for using Markdown.

 

Headings

 

To create a heading, add one to six # symbols before your heading text. The number of # you use will determine the hierarchy level and typeface size of the heading.

 

# A first-level heading
## A second-level heading
### A third-level heading
