Markdown Tutorial: Block Elements

Block elements shape the structure of a page. They include headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, lists, code blocks, and horizontal rules.

H1 / H2 / H3

Use one to six hash characters to create heading levels.

# H1
## H2
### H3

Paragraphs

Separate paragraphs with a blank line. End a line with two spaces when you need a manual line break.

Blockquotes

A blockquote highlights a note, citation, or important aside.

Lists

  1. Ordered item
  2. Ordered item
  • Unordered item
