I. Intro

Markdown syntax is a lightweight markup language for formatting text, such as turning text into headings, bolding, and more, without using the mouse. For example, you can enter # and press Space to enter a level 1 heading.

Note: You can also use shortcuts to format text. For supported shortcuts, see Introduction to keyboard shortcuts in Docs.

II. View Markdown syntax

You can view available Markdown in the following three ways:

Press Ctrl + / (Windows) or Command + / (Mac) and scroll down to the Markdown section.
