Backslash \*prevents\* these asterisks from causing formatting.  Backslash is the \`escape\` character.

Bare URLs are auto-linked by only some parsers.  http://example.com

* Unordered List
    * With nesting
    * Always use 4 spaces per indent
        - Can also use hyphen instead of asterisk
        - Like this
* Some parsers work with other spacing, but all work with 4

# Header Level 1 - document title

Although you can follow the header immediately with text, it is safest to wrap it with blank lines.  Must put blank line BEFORE any header.  Must separate the # from the text with a space.  They do not necessarily proceed from largest to smallest. (e.g. Jekyll renders level 1 as smaller, red text, when compared with level 2.)

## Header Level 2 - Chapter/Section title

Text goes here.

### Header Level 3 - Not yet defined

Text goes here.

#### Header Level 4 - Not yet defined

Text goes here.

##### Header Level 5 - Not yet defined

Text goes here.

###### Header Level 6 - Not yet defined.  This is the lowest level supported.

ordinary text

    preformatted text
    is rendered in fixed-width font
    and retaining your line breaks
    if you begin the line with four spaces.
    two spaces works with only some parsers.
    you may need to wrap with blank lines for some parsers.

horizontal rule below.
3 dashes is sufficient.  I use 5 dashes because I think it reads better.  Wrap with blank line above and below.

LaTeX / MathJax / KaTeX support varies.  If you need it, use it.  Wrap it with $$.
