Two new lines to make a new paragraph.
Or two empty spaces and one “return” at the end of the previous line to make it just a new line, not a new paragraph.
Good for poetry.
Or song lyrics.
Italics, just get wrapped in asterisks, like *this*.
The reason I can type it out like this so you can see it is because I “escaped” the asterisk, by putting a backslash (\) before it.
That backslash in the last paragraph was placed between two back ticks, `like this`, to make it appear in a fixed-widthfont, like this. Good for code or CLI commands.
