Custom heading H1

This note demonstrates some of what Markdown is capable of doing.

Note: Feel free to play with this page. Unlike regular notes, this doesn't automatically save itself.

Basic formatting H2

Paragraphs can be written like so. A paragraph is the basic block of Markdown. A paragraph is what text will turn into when there is no reason it should become anything else.

Paragraphs must be separated by a blank line. Basic formatting of italics and bold is supported. This can be nested like so.

Lists H2

Ordered list H3

Note: the fourth item uses the Unicode character for Roman numeral four.

Unordered list H3

Paragraph modifiers H2

Quote H3

Here is a quote. What this is should be self explanatory. Quotes are automatically indented when they are used.

Headings H2

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.

Headings can also contain formatting H3

They can even contain inline code H3

Of course, demonstrating what headings look like messes up the structure of the page.

I don't recommend using more than three or four levels of headings here, because, when you're smallest heading isn't too small, and you're largest heading isn't too big, and you want each size up to look noticeably larger and more important, there there are only so many sizes that you can use.

URLs H2

URLs can be made in a handful of ways:

Horizontal rule H2

A horizontal rule is a line that goes across the middle of the page.

It's sometimes handy for breaking things up.
