For example, an H1 is # Heading 1 and an H2 is ## Heading 2. This continues to ###### Heading 6.LinksLinks can be created using several methods:Links can be [inline](https:\/\/markdowntohtml.com)Inline links can [have a title](https:\/\/markdowntohtml.com \"Awesome Markdown Converter\")Also, there can be reference links that allow the URL to be placed later in the document:Here is a [reference link][markdowntohtml] that links to this site.References are case-insensitive (for example [this link][MarkDownToHTML] works).References can also [use numbers][1].Or leave it empty and use the [link text itself].Also, you can use relative links [like this](..\/blob\/master\/LICENSE.txt).URLs and URLs in angle brackets will automatically get turned into links: https:\/\/markdowntohtml.com or &lt;https:\/\/markdowntohtml.com&gt;.URLs for reference links are somewhere later in the document like this:[markdowntohtml]: https:\/\/markdowntohtml.com[1]: https:\/\/markdowntohtml.com[link text itself]: https:\/\/markdowntohtml.comImagesImages can also be inline or use a reference style, similar to links. Simply prepend an exclamation point to turn the link into an image. For example:Images with the full URL: ![alt text](https:\/\/placebear.com\/300\/300)Or, a reference-style image: ![alt text][bears].[bears]: https:\/\/placebear.com\/300\/300&lt;strong&gt;SEO-Markdown&lt;\/strong&gt;:\u00a0\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSEO-Markdown\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLists (Ordered Lists and Unordered Lists)SEO-Markdown:-Lists are made by using indentation and a beginning-of-line marker to indicate a list item. For example, unordered lists are made like this:* One item* Another item  * A sub-item    * A deeper item  * Back in sub-item land* And back at the main levelUnordered lists can use an asterisk (*), plus (+), or minus (-) to indicate each list item.Ordered lists use a number at the beginning of the line. The numbers do not need to be incremented &#8211; this will happen for you automatically by the HTML. That makes it easier to re-order your ordered lists (in markdown) as needed.Also, ordered and unordered lists can be nested within each other. For example:* One item* Another item  1. A nested ordered list  1. This is the second item    * And now an unordered list as its child    * Another item in this list  1. One more in the ordered list* And back at the main levelCode and Syntax HighlightingInline code uses `backticks` around it. Code blocks are either fenced by three backticks (```) or indented four spaces. For example:```var foo = 'bar';function baz(s) {   return foo + ':' + s;}```BlockquotesUse &gt;  to offset text as a blockquote. For example:&gt; This is some part of a blockquote.&gt; Some more stuff.Will produce:This is some part of a blockquote. Some more stuff.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  Markdown Syntax Cheatsheet  Markdown Syntax Cheatsheet  Headings  To create headings, use the &lt;h1&gt; to &lt;h6&gt; tags. The number of tags indicates the level of the heading, with &lt;h1&gt; being the highest level and &lt;h6&gt; being the lowest level.  Example:      &lt;h1&gt;Heading 1&lt;\/h1&gt;    &lt;h2&gt;Heading 2&lt;\/h2&gt;    &lt;h3&gt;Heading 3&lt;\/h3&gt;    &lt;h4&gt;Heading 4&lt;\/h4&gt;    &lt;h5&gt;Heading 5&lt;\/h5&gt;    &lt;h6&gt;Heading 6&lt;\/h6&gt;    Emphasis and Bold  To emphasize text or make it bold, use the &lt;em&gt; and &lt;strong&gt; tags.  Example:      &lt;em&gt;Emphasized text&lt;\/em&gt;    &lt;strong&gt;Bold text&lt;\/strong&gt;    Lists  Unordered Lists  To create an unordered list, use the &lt;ul&gt; tag and wrap each item with the &lt;li&gt; tag.  Example:      &lt;ul&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Item 1&lt;\/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Item 2&lt;\/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Item 3&lt;\/li&gt;    &lt;\/ul&gt;    Ordered Lists  To create an ordered list, use the &lt;ol&gt; tag and wrap each item with the &lt;li&gt; tag.  Example:      &lt;ol&gt;      &lt;li&gt;First item&lt;\/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Second item&lt;\/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Third item&lt;\/li&gt;    &lt;\/ol&gt;    Links  External Links  To create a link to an external website, use the &lt;a&gt; tag with the href attribute specifying the URL.  Example:      &lt;a href=\"https:\/\/www.example.com\"&gt;Link text&lt;\/a&gt;  SEO-Markdown: \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  Markdown Syntax Cheatsheet  Markdown Syntax Cheatsheet  Headings      &lt;h1&gt;Heading 1&lt;\/h1&gt;    &lt;h2&gt;Heading 2&lt;\/h2&gt;    &lt;h3&gt;Heading 3&lt;\/h3&gt;    &lt;h4&gt;Heading 4&lt;\/h4&gt;    &lt;h5&gt;Heading 5&lt;\/h5&gt;    &lt;h6&gt;Heading 6&lt;\/h6&gt;    Emphasis and Bold      &lt;em&gt;Emphasized text&lt;\/em&gt;    &lt;strong&gt;Bold text&lt;\/strong&gt;    Lists  Unordered Lists      &lt;ul&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Item 1&lt;\/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Item 2&lt;\/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Item 3&lt;\/li&gt;    &lt;\/ul&gt;    Ordered Lists      &lt;ol&gt;      &lt;li&gt;First item&lt;\/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Second item&lt;\/li&gt;      &lt;li&gt;Third item&lt;\/li&gt;    &lt;\/ol&gt;    Links  External Links      &lt;a href=\"https:\/\/www.example.com\"&gt;Link text&lt;\/a&gt;    Images      &lt;img src=\"image.jpg\" alt=\"Image\"&gt;    Code Blocks      &lt;pre&gt;      &lt;code&gt;        \/\/ Code block        function example() {          return \"Hello, World!\";        }      &lt;\/code&gt;    &lt;\/pre&gt;    Horizontal Rule      &lt;hr&gt;    Blockquotes      &lt;blockquote&gt;      This is a blockquote.    &lt;\/blockquote&gt;  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Seo Tools","item":"https:\/\/searcheoptimizer.com\/seo-tools\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"SEO-Markdown Syntax Cheatsheet","item":"https:\/\/searcheoptimizer.com\/seo-tools\/seo-markdown-syntax-cheatsheet\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
