How do I make text bold or italic in Markdown?

Wrap text in single asterisks or underscores for italic (*italic* or _italic_), double for bold (**bold**), and triple for both (***bold italic***). Strikethrough uses double tildes (~~text~~) in GitHub Flavored Markdown.

How do I write a table in Markdown?

Use pipes to separate columns, for example | a | b |, then add a separator row of dashes (| --- | --- |) below the header row. Each following row is a data row. Tables are a GitHub Flavored Markdown feature.
