More === for lower-level headings.

Hint: type your text first, then insert the == in front. That way you can see the format change as you insert more =.

asterisk * Starts a bullet list
  • item

** not this

* nor this

One * followed by a space for top-level items, don’t use ** for sub-items.
hash # Starts a numbered list
  1. one
  2. two
 You can also type "1. "
colon : Formats as blockquote

quote
? unknown Insert a table, image, map, etc.

Note that these block-level formatting shortcuts should be typed at the beginning of a line and followed by a space. (Or, as above, at the beginning of a table cell.) Equals signs for headings apply immediately, without the space.
