What is Markdown?

Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; formatting words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists are just a few of the things we can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like # or *.

Markdown is very popular to write README’s on Github. So, I’ve given you a tutorial of the markdown.

You can make any text bold by adding double asterisks (*) or double underscores(_).

    **Bold**

    __Bold__

Even you can combine both them.

Strikethrough

Markdown supports strikethrough by wrapping text in ~~:

Syntex:
