+
+## Headings
+
+There are 6 levels of headers, in order to make one, you add a `#` in front of the word, like this:
+
+```md
+## example
+```
+
+And it looks like this:
+
+## example
+
+The more `#`'s you add, the higher the level is. Only one `#` is equivalent to a `<h1>` in HTML. 4 `#`'s is equivalent to a `<h4>`.
+
+```md
+# Header 1
+## Header 2
+### Header 3
+#### Header 4
+##### Header 5
+###### Header 6
+```
+
+# Header 1
+## Header 2
+### Header 3
+#### Header 4
+##### Header 5
+###### Header 6
+
+## Paragraphs
+
+
+To have regular text, just start typing! you don't need anything special.

+
+## Italics / Bold / Underline / Etc
+
+### Italics
+
+*Put the text you want to be italicized between two asterisks*
+
+```md
+*Put the text you want to be italicized between two asterisks*
+```
+
+### Bold
+
+**Put the text you want to be bolded between asterisks, with two on each side**
+
+```md
+**Put the text you want to be bolded between asterisks, with two on each side**
+```
+
+### Strikethrough
+
+~~Put the text you want to be struck through between tildes, with two on each side~~
+
+```md
+~~Put the text you want to be struck through between tildes, with two on each side~~
+```
+
+## Blockquotes
+
+> To type a block quote, just put a `>` in front of what you are typing similar to how you type a header. 
+> > You can have multiple layers of block quotes by stacking `>`'s
+

+
+## Lists
+
+### Ordered Lists
+
+For an ordered list, just put numbers in front of the list items as such:
+
+1. One
+2. Two
+3. Three
+4. Four
+
+```md
+1. One
+2. Two
+3. Three
+4. Four
+```
+
+### Unordered Lists
+
+An unordered list is the same idea as the ordered list, just replace the numbers with dashes (`-`).
+
+- One
+- Two
+- Three
+- Four
+
+```md
+- One
+- Two
+- Three
+- Four
+```
+
+## Multi-Layer Lists
+
+To add subitems to a list, simply indent the next entry
+
+- One
+  - Subitem
+- Two
+- Three
+- Four
+
+```md
+- One
+  - Subitem
+- Two
+- Three
+- Four
+```
+
+## Code snippets
+
+For `inline code`, simply surround the section you want with backticks.
+
+```md
+For `inline code`, simply surround the section you want with backticks.
+```
+
+For a code block, put three backticks on separate lines before and after the code.
+
+```
+Hi! This is a code block!
+It looks pretty neat!
+```
+<br>
+```md
+`​`​`
+Hi! This is a code block!
+It looks pretty neat!
+`​`​`
+```
+
+## Links
+
+Links can be included as such:
+
+```md
+[text that you see](hxxps://linkhere)
+```
+
+[text that you see](https://nyx.slavetomints.com/posts/how-to-use-markdown#links)
+
+
+## Images
+
+If you want to include an image, see the following syntax:
+
+```md
+![Image alt text](/path/to/image.jpg)
+```
+
+![Image alt text](/assets/img/white-logo.svg)
+
+## Horizontal Rules
+
+If you want to break up some content, all you have to do is put three dashes side by side on their own line as such:
+
+```md
+---
+```
