Basic Syntax
Markdown is a lightweight and easy-to-use syntax for styling your writing.
Headers
When the content of the article is extensive, you can use headers to segment:
# Header 1
## Header 2
## Large Header
### Small HeadermarkdownHeader previews would disrupt the structure of the article, so they are not displayed here.

Symbol Escaping
If you need to use markdown symbols like _ # * in your description but don’t want them to be escaped, you can add a backslash before these symbols, such as \_ \# \* to avoid it.
\_Don't want the text here to be italic\_
\*\*Don't want the text here to be bold\*\*markdownPreview:
_Don’t want the text here to be italic_
