What's Markdown

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows users to format text in our chat. It is a simple and easy-to-use syntax that can help you add emphasis, headings, links, and other formatting options to your text.

How to use it?

Here's how to use Markdown formatting options in a chat:

1. Bold text: To make text bold, simply wrap it in double asterisks (**text**) or double underscores (__text__). For example, hello or hello will appear as hello in the chat.
2. Italic text: To italicize text, simply wrap it in single asterisks (*text*) or single underscores (_text_). For example, hello or hello will appear as hello in the chat.
3. To quote text, add `>` at the very start of the line. i.e > Fortune favours the bold will render:
   
4. Code snippets: To format a code snippet, surround it with backticks (`code`). For example, `print("hello world");` will appear as print("hello world") in the chat.
5. Inline code: To add inline code, wrap it in single backticks (`code`). For example, the print() function will appear as print() in the chat.
6. Lists: To create a list, use either asterisks (*) or dashes (-) followed by a space to create a bullet point. 

   • Write the press release

   • Update the website

   • Contact the media

7. Links: To add a link, surround the text you want to use as the link with square brackets [$text$], followed by the link in parentheses ($link$). For example, [Bevy Homepage](https://www.bevy.com) will appear as Bevy Homepage in the chat, and clicking on it will take you to https://www.bevy.com.

That's it! Using Markdown formatting options in a chat can help you create well-structured, easy-to-read messages.
