What is Markdown?

Markdown is a quick way to format text, making it readable and attractive anywhere your message is shown: on websites, schedules, or promotions.

Supported Markdown Features

You can use these simple Markdown tags anywhere the editor supports formatted text:

1. Headings

Use “#” at the start of a line to add a large heading—great for titles or section names.

# Welcome to Our Studio!

Shows as:

Welcome to Our Studio!

2. Bullet Points

Start a line with “-” (a dash and space) to create a bullet point list.

- Beginner Classes
- Advanced Workshops
- Private Pilates Sessions

3. Bold and Italic

  • Make text bold by placing double asterisks ** around it:
