Strong emphasis, aka bold, with **asterisks** or __underscores__.

Combined emphasis with **asterisks and _underscores_**.

Lists

1. First ordered list item

4. And another item.

   Some text that should be aligned with the above item.

Links

There are two ways to create links.

[I'm an inline-style link](https://www.google.com)

Or leave it empty and use the [link text itself]

Fully qualified URLs will automatically be turned into links. http://www.example.com

Blockquotes

> Blockquotes are very handy in email to emulate reply text.
>> Blockquote in blockquote
>> This line is part of the same quote.

Quote break.

> This is a very long line that will still be quoted properly when it wraps. Oh boy let's keep writing to make sure this is long enough to actually wrap for everyone. Oh, you can *put* **Markdown** into a blockquote.

Line Breaks

My basic recommendation for learning how line breaks work is to experiment and discover -- hit <Enter> once (i.e., insert one newline), then hit it twice (i.e., insert two newlines), see what happens. You'll soon learn to get what you want. "Markdown Toggle" is your friend.

Here are some things to try out:

Here's a line for us to start with.

This line is separated from the one above by two newlines, so it will be a *separate paragraph*.

This line is also a separate paragraph, but...
This line is only separated by a single newline, so it's a separate line in the *same paragraph*.

This line is also begins a separate paragraph, but... This line is only separated by a single newline, so it's a separate line in the same paragraph.

(Technical note: Markdown Here uses GFM line breaks, so there's no need to use MD's two-space line breaks.)

Code Highlighting

    // In your gatsby-config.js
    // Let's make this line very long so that our container has to scroll its overflow…
    plugins: [
      {
        resolve: `gatsby-transformer-remark`,
        options: {
          plugins: [
            {
              resolve: `gatsby-remark-images`,
              options: {
                maxWidth: 756,
              },
            },
            {
              resolve: `gatsby-remark-responsive-iframe`,
              options: {
                wrapperStyle: `margin-bottom: 1.0725rem`,
              },
            },
            `gatsby-remark-copy-linked-files`,
            `gatsby-remark-smartypants`,
            `gatsby-remark-prismjs`,
          ]
        }
      }
    ]

Let's do something crazy and add a list with another code example:

  • A list item

    …and a paragraph! In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

    1. A nested numbered list
    2. “Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”

  • Roger that, now back to topic: Highlighted code blocks work here, too:

    .clearfix:after {
	visibility: hidden;
	display: block;
	font-size: 0;
	content: " ";
	clear: both;
	height: 0;
	}
.clearfix { display: inline-table; }
/* Hides from IE-mac \*/
* html .clearfix { height: 1%; }
.clearfix { display: block; }
/* End hide from IE-mac */

    Wow, "IE-mac"? Yeah, that was a thing back in the day … a good one at the time, too:

    Initial versions were developed from the same code base as Internet Explorer for Windows. Later versions diverged, particularly with the release of version 5 which included the cutting edge, fault-tolerant and highly standards-compliant Tasman > layout engine.

  • The last list item –- no more list items after this one, pinky swear!
