List Items

1. First order list item
2. Second item

• Unordered list can use asterisks
• Or minuses
• Or pluses

NOTE: <ol> list items are not current numbered

Code Blocks

var s = "JavaScript syntax highlighting";
alert(s);

def myFunction():
  pass

s = "Python syntax highlighting"
print(s)

No language indicated, so no syntax highlighting.
But let's throw in a <b>tag</b>.

Tables

Table 1: With Alignment

Table 2: With Typography Elements

Horizontal Separator

We can insert HTML as well. The HTML <hr> element is for creating a “thematic break” between paragraph-level elements. In markdown, you can create a <hr> with any of the following:

• ___: three consecutive underscores
• ---: three consecutive dashes
• ***: three consecutive asterisks
