Or to make a phrase bold, you add two asterisks before and after it (e.g., **this text is bold**). When you create a Markdown-formatted file, you add Markdown syntax to the text to indicate which words and phrases should look different.įor example, to denote a heading, you add a number sign before it (e.g., # Heading One).
