Markdown
Markdown is a plain text formatting syntax created by John Gruber, aiming to provide a easy-to-read and feasible markup. The original Markdown syntax specification can be found here.
The Basics
Here are the basics of standard markdown. Lets jump right in.

Line Breaks
To force a line break, put two spaces and a newline (return) at the end of the line.
Here is the code:
* This two-line bullet
won't break
* This two-line bullet
will break
Strong and Emphasize
Strong: **Strong**
or __Strong__
Emphasize: *Emphasize*
or _Emphasize_
Headers (like this one!)
Header 1
========
Header 2

or
# Header 1
## Header 2
### Header 3
#### Header 4
##### Header 5
###### Header 6
Links and Email
Inline
Just put angle brackets around an email and it becomes clickable: help@lottodds.com
<help@lottodds.com>
Same thing with urls: http://lottodds.com
<http://lottodds.com>
Perhaps you want to some link text like this: LottOdds Website
[LottOdds Website](http://lottodds.com "Title")
(The title is optional)
Images
IF you want Lottodds to post your IMAGES of your winnings, send the image to Help@Lottodds.com with the link to the post you want it inserted in.
Inline
![Alt Image Text](image/url/path.jpg "Optional Title")
For example:
![LottOdds Logo](http://lottodds.com/img/logo.png)
SAMPLE
![Dodge Challenger 2017 Dodge Challenger 2017](https://media.ed.edmunds-media.com/dodge/challenger/2017/ot/2017_dodge_challenger_LIFE1_ot_1108164_1280.jpg)
Lists
- Lists must be preceded by a blank line (or block element)
- Unordered lists start each item with a
*
-
works too
- Indent a level to make a nested list
- Ordered lists are supported.
- Start each item (number-period-space) like
1.
- It doesn't matter what number you use, I will render them sequentially
- So you might want to start each line with
1.
and let me sort it out
Here is the code:
* Lists must be preceded by a blank line (or block element)
* Unordered lists start each item with a `*`
- `-` works too
* Indent a level to make a nested list
1. Ordered lists are supported.
2. Start each item (number-period-space) like `1. `
42. It doesn't matter what number you use, I will render them sequentially
1. So you might want to start each line with `1.` and let me sort it out
Block Quote
Angle brackets >
are used for block quotes.
Technically not every line needs to start with a >
as long as
there are no empty lines between paragraphs.
Looks kinda ugly though.
Block quotes can be nested.
Most markdown syntaxes work inside block quotes.
- Lists
- [Links][arbitrary_id]
- Etc.
Here is the code:

Inline Code
Inline code
is indicated by surrounding it with backticks:
`Inline code`
If your code has `backticks`
that need to be displayed, you can use double backticks:
``Code with `backticks` ``
(mind the spaces preceding the final set of backticks)
Block Code
If you indent at least four spaces or one tab, I'll display a code block.
print('This is a code block')
print('The block must be preceded by a blank line')
print('Then indent at least 4 spaces or 1 tab')
print('Nesting does nothing. Your code is displayed Literally')
I also know how to do something called Fenced Code Blocks which I will tell you about later.
Horizontal Rules
If you type three asterisks ***
or three dashes ---
on a line, I'll display a horizontal rule:

That’s about it. Thanks for listening.
Happy writing!
