06 — Markdown basics

Markdown is plain text with a few punctuation rules. Files ending in .md are rendered automatically, and a file named readme.md is shown on its folder page.

Headings

# Title
## Section
### Subsection

Leave a blank line before and after a heading.

Text

**bold**  *italic*  ~~struck through~~  `code`

A single line break is ignored. To start a new paragraph, leave a blank line.

Lists

- first
- second
  - nested (two spaces)

1. step one
2. step two

Links

Links to files in the same repository are best written as relative paths — they keep working on every branch.

Code

Fenced blocks keep spacing and add colours. Write the language after the opening fence:

```bash
git status
```

Tables

| Column | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| `main` | default branch |
| `.md`  | Markdown file |

Practical tips

• Preview before committing: the Preview tab in the editor renders exactly what others will see.
• Keep one sentence per line in long documents — differences between versions stay readable.
• Emoji work directly: 📌 ✅ ⚠️
