Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You control the display of the document; forma ing 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 *.

Typing an @ symbol, followed by a username, will notify that person to come and view the comment. This is called an “@mention”, because you’re mentioning the individual. You can also @mention teams within an organization.
You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens - (for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe | :

function test() { console.log("look ma`, no spaces"); }
Markdown coverts text with four leading spaces into a code block; with GFM you can wrap your code with ``` to create a code block without the leading spaces. Add an optional language identifier and your code with get syntax highlighting.
