What is Markdown?

A plain text formatting syntax called Markdown was created with the goal of simplifying internet writing. The idea behind Markdown is that while there should be a method to add text modifiers like lists, bold, italics, etc., plain text documents should still be readable without tags cluttering up everything.

All about README file :

A README file is crucial because it provides other developers and contributors with a thorough summary of your GitHub project.

Why would I spend the effort developing a README file must be a question that some people have. Well, I'll offer you a few reasons why it won't be a waste of time.

1. A strong README makes your project stand out from the competition, thus it must be just as strong as your project itself.

2. Any project's README file is the first thing that users notice, so it should be brief, visually appealing, and of course well-explained.

Therefore, it is evident from the foregoing reasons why you should have a single README file that is both useful and appealing.One of the few things you can focus on to improve your chances of attracting the attention of other developers is that.

Starting with Markdown's building blocks:

1. Headings :

# That's Heading 1
## That's Heading 2
### That's Heading 3
#### That's Heading 4
##### That's Heading 5
###### That's Heading 6

5. Images :

Add an exclamation point (!) at the beginning of your Markdown file, followed by square brackets for the picture alt text, and then add the URL or path of the image inside the parentheses.

Keep in mind: Be sure there is no gap between the exclamation point, square brackets, and parenthesis!

6. Code Blocks :

Simply enclose any code block with the Grave accent keys (') three times to display it.

a = 10

print(5 < a < 15)
print(7 == a < 3)

Reminder: After pressing the top triple grave accent key, add the language name to enable syntax highlighting in code blocks.

a = 10

print(5 < a < 15)
print(7 == a < 3)

9. Lists :

Both ordered and unordered lists can contain items.

• Ordered Lists :

Add line items with numbers followed by periods to form an ordered list.

1. Ordered List 1
2. Ordered List 2
3. Ordered List 3

🙄 Preview :

1. Ordered List 1
2. Ordered List 2
    1. Indented item 1
    2. Indented item 2
3. Ordered List 3

🙄 Preview :

• Unordered Lists :

Add dashes (-), asterisks (*), or plus signs (+) in front of line items to create an unordered list. Additionally, a nested list can be created by indenting one or more elements.

* Unordered List 1
* Unordered List 2
* Unordered List 3

🙄 Preview :

- Unordered List 1
- Unordered List 2
    - Indented item 1

10. Tables :

To make tables, we can use pipes to divide the columns (|), three or more hyphens to form a heading for each column (---), and pipes on either end of the table.

| Country    | Capital|
| ---------- | -------|
| Germany    | Berlin |
| Qatar      | Doha   |
| Cuba       | Havana |
