Authoring
If you’re new to markdown, this page will bring you up to speed with what you need to know to get started.
Markdown is a markup syntax that turns text into HTML. It’s a convenient way to go from this:
_Italics_
**Bold**
[Link](page.html)
to this:
<em>Italics</em>
<strong>Bold</strong>
<a href="page.html">Link</a>
…without having to type all those quotes and brackets. It’s built to be as simple as possible — most users can pick up the basics in just a few minutes.
Doxicity adheres to the CommonMark spec, but there are a few additional syntaxes that are really helpful when writing docs.
