Markdown Tutorial
Hugo, Docsy, & GitHub will be the three fundamental building blocks for building and deploying your website to the web. Below is a brief overview of the functionality and strengths of each.

Headers are created using ‘#’ symbols. The number of ‘#’ symbols determines the level of the header.
# This is a level 1 header
## This is a level 2 header
### This is a level 3 header
#### This is a level 4 header
##### This is a level 5 header
###### This is a level 6 header
Output:
This is a level 1 header
This is a level 2 header
This is a level 3 header
This is a level 4 header
This is a level 5 header
This is a level 6 header

You can make text bold or italic using double asterisks or underscores.

italic word #1
