` and `` are created by
"underlining" with equal signs (`=`) and hyphens (`-`), respectively.
To create an atx-style header, you put 1-6 hash marks (`#`) at the
beginning of the line -- the number of hashes equals the resulting
HTML header level.
Blockquotes are indicated using email-style '`>`' angle brackets.

### Phrase Emphasis ### Markdown uses asterisks and underscores to indicate spans of emphasis. Markdown: Some of these words *are emphasized*. Some of these words _are emphasized also_. Use two asterisks for **strong emphasis**. Or, if you prefer, __use two underscores instead__. Output:This is a blockquote.
This is the second paragraph in the blockquote.
This is an H2 in a blockquote
Some of these words are emphasized. Some of these words are emphasized also.
Use two asterisks for strong emphasis. Or, if you prefer, use two underscores instead.
## Lists ## Unordered (bulleted) lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens (`*`, `+`, and `-`) as list markers. These three markers are interchangable; this: * Candy. * Gum. * Booze. this: + Candy. + Gum. + Booze. and this: - Candy. - Gum. - Booze. all produce the same output:- Candy.
- Gum.
- Booze.
- Red
- Green

[1]: http://google.com/ "Google" [2]: http://search.yahoo.com/ "Yahoo Search" [3]: http://search.msn.com/ "MSN Search" Output:I get 10 times more traffic from Google than from Yahoo or MSN.
The title attribute is optional. Link names may contain letters, numbers and spaces, but are *not* case sensitive: I start my morning with a cup of coffee and [The New York Times][NY Times]. [ny times]: http://www.nytimes.com/ Output:I start my morning with a cup of coffee and The New York Times.
### Images ### Image syntax is very much like link syntax. Inline (titles are optional):  Reference-style: ![alt text][id] [id]: /path/to/img.jpg "Title" Both of the above examples produce the same output:
