Markdown is a lightweight markup language that aims to be "easy to read and write." Its syntax is very simple, allowing you to focus on writing rather than formatting.

Its syntax consists of some simple symbols, such as #, *, -, etc. These symbols allow you to quickly mark headings, lists, links, and other content. You can learn the basics of Markdown in a few minutes and then start writing.

Here is the introductory syntax:

<!-- Comment: Content within these brackets will not be rendered -->

# Heading 1

## Heading 2

### Heading 3

- List item 1
- List item 2

1. Ordered list item 1
2. Ordered list item 2

[Link text](https://example.com)

**Bold text**

_Italic text_

`Code block`

> Blockquote

<!-- Divider -->

---

The above content will be rendered as:

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

• List item 1
• List item 2

1. Ordered list item 1
2. Ordered list item 2

Link text

Bold text

Italic text

Code block

Blockquote

Markdown even supports tables, though inputting them can be a bit inconvenient:

| Syntax    | Description |
| --------- | ----------- |
| Header    | Title       |
| Paragraph | Text        |

Knowing these basics, you can use Markdown with ease! You can practice the syntax you just learned here. I think it's a better writing choice than Word, what do you think?
