# Sample Markdown file This is a **sample README** written in Markdown. It uses *emphasis*, **strong emphasis**, `inline code`, ~~strikethrough~~ and a [link to the Markdown guide](https://99helpers.com/file-types/md). A single line break inside a paragraph is ignored, so this sentence and this one join into one line. End a line with a backslash\ to force a line break. ## What's inside - Plain text you can read without rendering it - Converts cleanly to HTML - Indent an item to nest it - Opens in any text editor 1. Download the file 2. Open it in a Markdown viewer 3. Compare the source with the result - [x] Write the README - [ ] Add screenshots ```python def greet(name: str) -> str: return f"Hello, {name}!" print(greet("Ada Example")) ``` > Lines that start with `>` become a quotation. > They can hold **formatting** and other blocks. > [!NOTE] > On GitHub this renders as a highlighted note. Elsewhere it is an > ordinary quotation that starts with the text "[!NOTE]". | Element | Markdown | HTML output | | :------ | :-------------: | -----------: | | Bold | `**text**` | `` | | Link | `[text](url)` | `` | | Code | `` `code` `` | `` |  Markdown was first released in 2004.[^1] --- [^1]: By John Gruber, who wrote the syntax and the original Markdown.pl converter. \*Not italic\*, \# not a heading, 1\. not a list.
