Β Β console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
}
```

Tables

Create tables using pipes and hyphens:

| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 |
|----------|----------|----------|
| Cell 1 | Cell 2 | Cell 3 |
| Cell 4 | Cell 5 | Cell 6 |

Blockquotes

Prefix lines with > for blockquotes:

> This is a blockquote.
> It can span multiple lines.

Markdown Best Practices

  • 1.
    Use consistent heading hierarchy: Don't skip heading levels. Go from H1 to H2 to H3 in order for better document structure and accessibility.
  • 2.
    Add blank lines around blocks: Separate paragraphs, headings, lists, and code blocks with blank lines for better readability.
  • 3.
    Use inline code for technical terms: Wrap commands, function names, and file paths in backticks (`code`) to distinguish them from regular text.
  • 4.
    Keep line length reasonable: While Markdown supports long lines, keeping lines under 100 characters improves version control diffs and readability in text editors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Markdown Preview

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that uses plain text formatting syntax. It's popular because it's easy to read and write, converts cleanly to HTML, is widely supported (GitHub, Reddit, documentation sites), and is version-control friendly. Perfect for documentation, README files, and content writing.
