hey everyone! i'm not sure if this has been done before, but i thought i'd post a quick tutorial on Markdown, which is a neat way to quickly style your posts (and it works on bandpa!)

Bold Text

To bold text, use double asterisks:

**This text will be bolded**

Italicized Text

To italicize text, use single asterisks:

*This text will be italicized*

Strikethrough Text

To strikethrough text, use double tildes:

~~This text will be strikethroughed... is that a word?~~

Headers

To create headers, use octothorpes (more commonly known as pound symbols or hashtags 😉)

# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5

Make sure to put a space before your text!

Lists

To create a list, just use asterisks or hyphens

• item 1
• item 2
• item 3

- item 1
- item 2
- item 3

Hyperlinks

To hyperlink text, use the following syntax:

normal text normal text [this text will be clickable](your-link-here.com)

Images

To add an image, use the following syntax:

![img](link-to-your-image.jpg)

Of course there's much more you can do, but here are the basics. :) If you really like Markdown and would love to use it to take notes for class or whatever, I'd highly recommend downloading a Markdown editor like Typora!

happy bandpa-ing!
