Markdown Syntax Guide for Documentation
A practical Markdown syntax guide for headings, lists, code blocks, links and documentation publishing.
Markdown basics
Use # for headings, - for lists, `code` for inline code, triple backticks for code blocks, [text](url) for links and **text** for emphasis.
Documentation habits
Keep heading levels logical, put commands in code blocks, avoid giant paragraphs, and make examples copyable. Good docs are scannable before they are complete.
Platform differences
GitHub, docs frameworks and CMS editors support different extensions. Always test tables, task lists, frontmatter and custom components in the final platform.
