This is a sample post demonstrating the basic features of Markdown. Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format.

Headings

Markdown uses # symbols to create headings. One # is the largest heading (H1), and six #s are the smallest (H6).

This is an H1 Heading

This is an H2 Heading

This is an H3 Heading

Text Formatting

You can easily make text bold, italic, or strikethrough.

  • Bold: **Bold Text**
  • Italic: *Italic Text*
  • Strikethrough: ~~Strikethrough Text~~

Lists

Creating lists is straightforward.

Unordered List:

  • Item 1
  • Item 2
    • Sub-item A
    • Sub-item B

Ordered List:

  1. First Item
  2. Second Item
  3. Third Item

Code Blocks

For technical articles, code blocks are essential.

Inline code: console.log("Hello, World!");

// JavaScript Code Block
function greet(name) {
  console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
}

greet("Gemini");

Blockquotes

When you want to quote someone, use a blockquote.
