Markdown basics

Here are a few basic formatting commands you will use most when working in Document360.

Headings (H2, H3, H4)

To create Headings (H2, H3, H4), precede text with a hash (#).

Best practices

Make sure that there is a space between syntax and text. Make sure that there is a blank line above the Heading tags.

Heading Level

The number of hash (#) determines the heading level. Document360 does not allow #H1 inside the article as they are used for the article

You can add the following types of styling to a paragraph text:

Style	Syntax	Output	Shortcut Key
Bold		This text is in bold formatting	Ctrl+b or Cmd+b
Italics	* * (or) _ _	This text is in italics	Ctrl+i or Cmd+i
Strikethrough	~~ ~~	~~This text is in strikethrough~~

Best practices

Make sure that there is no space between syntax and text.

Insert numbered (ordered) lists simply by typing 1. and then pressing enter when you've finished writing.

Add bulleted (unordered) lists by placing an asterisk * or hyphen '-' in front of your list item.

Include quotes or highlight important points by using '>' before the text.

This will quote the entire line of text

You can enter a horizontal line to divide two lines of text using the three asterisks.
