Using Markdown | Made with Supernova

You can use Markdown to write and edit your documentation; from adding blocks, to applying styles to text.

One of the major benefits to using Markdown is our Markdown exporter, which allows you to export all of your documentation content into a Markdown definition, that can then be committed to a repository. It’s a quick and easy way of backing up your documentation!

Writing with Markdown

Creating documentation content with Markdown couldn’t be easier.

In an empty documentation page, type /

Type one of the following Markdown syntax elements:

At the beginning of a block:

#	Heading 1 block
##	Heading 2 block
###	Heading 3 block
-, +, or *	Bullet list block
1.	Numbered list block. Any other number is viable for further items in the list, but 1. is required to start it.
\|, >, or “	Quote block
```	Code block

To apply different styles to text:

word or __word__	Applies bold style to the word
_word_	Applies italic style to the word
~word~	Applies ~~strikethrough~~ style to the word
`word`	Applies inline code to the word.

You can then continue writing your documentation as normal.
