Content Formatting Using Markdown

This forum uses Markdown to format content. It’ll only take a few moments to learn and will be an immensely useful skill throughout. Please visit the following link to Learn about Mardown formatting

Blockquotes

As Kanye West said:

Inline code

I think you should use an
`<addr>` element here instead.

Task Lists

- [x] @mentions, #refs, [links](), **formatting**, and <del>tags</del> supported
- [x] list syntax required (any unordered or ordered list supported)
- [x] this is a complete item
- [ ] this is an incomplete item

If you include a task list in the first comment of an Issue, you will get a handy progress indicator in your issue list. It also works in Pull Requests!

Tables

You can create tables by assembling a list of words and dividing them with hyphens - (for the first row), and then separating each column with a pipe | :

First Header | Second Header
------------ | -------------
Content from cell 1 | Content from cell 2
Content in the first column | Content in the second column

Would become:

First Header Second Header
Content from cell 1 Content from cell 2
Content in the first column Content in the second column

Will there be any updates on the wiki site? I am Wikipedia editor with 3 years and 5k edits to my name. I’m completely disillusioned with Wikipedia and would love to use my knowledge to contribute to my own community.
