A tutorial on the markdown language is here: [https://commonmark.org/help/](https://commonmark.org/help/)

What I find particularly useful is the for the **code blocks** - if you type ``` at the beginning and the end of your code, then your code is formatted!

For example, some unformatted code is like this:

#include\<iostream\>  
using namespace std;  
int main()  
{  
cout \<\< “Hello World!” \<\< endl;  
return 0;  
}

But if you type ``` before the code and after the code, it becomes formatted:

```auto
using namespace std;
int main()
{
 cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
 return 0;
}
```
