Getting Started with Markdown

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, which can then be converted into structurally valid HTML or, in our case, PDF.

Basic Syntax

Headers

Create headers using the # symbol:

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3

Emphasis

Add emphasis to your text:

*italic text* or _italic text_
**bold text** or __bold text__
***bold and italic*** or ___bold and italic___

Lists

Create ordered and unordered lists:

1. First item
2. Second item
3. Third item

- Bullet point
- Another point
  - Nested point

Advanced Markdown Features

Tables

Create tables using pipes and hyphens:

| Header 1 | Header 2 |
|----------|----------|
| Cell 1   | Cell 2   |
| Cell 3   | Cell 4   |

Code Blocks

Create code blocks with syntax highlighting:

```javascript
function hello() {
  console.log("Hello, world!");
}

## Links and Images
Add links and images:
```markdown
[Link text](https://example.com)
![Image alt text](image.jpg)
