📚 Markdown Comprehensive Showcase

1. Headers

Markdown supports 6 levels of headings indicated by the number of # characters.

Heading 1 (H1)

Heading 2 (H2)

Heading 3 (H3)

Heading 4 (H4)

Heading 5 (H5)

Heading 6 (H6)

Syntax: # Heading 1, ## Heading 2 … ###### Heading 6

2. Text Formatting

Apply formatting to words and inline phrases:

• This is bold text
• This is italic text
• This is bold and italic text
• This is strikethrough text
• This is inline code
• This is underlined (using HTML tags)
• This is highlighted text (supported in some editors)

Syntax: **bold**, *italic*, ***bold italic***, ~~strikethrough~~, `inline code`, <u>underline</u>, ==highlight==

3. Lists

Bulleted Lists

• Apples
• Bananas
  • Nested banana variety 1
  • Nested banana variety 2
• Oranges

Numbered Lists

1. Step One: Open editor
2. Step Two: Type Markdown syntax
3. Step Three: Export as HTML or PDF

Task Lists

• Completed task
• Incomplete task
• Another pending item

Syntax:

• Unordered: - Item or * Item
• Ordered: 1. Item, 2. Item
• Task: - [ ] Incomplete, - [x] Completed

4. Blockquotes

This is a standard blockquote. It can span multiple lines seamlessly.

This is a nested blockquote. Just like Russian nesting dolls.

Blockquotes can also embed other elements, such as:

• List items
• Inline code
• Bold text

Syntax: Use > for quotes, and >> for nested quotes.

5. Code Blocks

Inline code uses backticks: console.log("Hello World");

Multi-line code blocks use three backticks, with language specified for syntax highlighting:

def fibonacci(n):
    """Compute Fibonacci sequence"""
    if n <= 1:
        return n
    return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2)

# Print first 10 numbers
for i in range(10):
    print(fibonacci(i), end=" ")
print()

// JavaScript sample
const greet = (name) => {
  console.log(`Hello, ${name}!`);
};
greet("Markdown");

Syntax: Start with language</code> and end with <code>.

6. Links & Images

• Standard Link: Visit GitHub
• Link with Title: Visit Google
• Image:
• Image as a Link:

Syntax:

• Link: [Label](URL "Optional Title")
• Image: ![Alt Text](Image URL)
• Clickable Image: [![Alt Text](Image URL)](Destination URL)

7. Tables

Syntax: Delimit columns with | and header with -. :--- for left, :---: for center, and ---: for right.

8. Horizontal Rules

Create horizontal dividers using three or more -, *, or _ characters:

9. Extended Syntax

(Note: Requires enhanced Markdown renderer support, such as Typora, Obsidian, GitHub, or Notion)

📌 Footnotes

Here is a sentence referencing a footnote¹. Another footnote reference here².

📐 Mathematical Formulas (Math / KaTeX)

Inline formula: Mass-energy equivalence $E = mc^2$ is a fundamental relation.

Block equation:
