# GitHub Markdown

MeetBit uses GitHub's version of Markdown to style several customer-facing elements of the platform. This section is a brief guide outlining the basics of using GitHub Markdown. For more in-depth knowledge, you can refer to the [official Github Markdown documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Contrary to GitGub's Markdown version, **MeetBit does not permit the use of HTML code in any of its fields** that employ Markdown.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Markdown is commonly used along with [Liquid Templating](https://meetbit.gitbook.io/docs/others/liquid-templating). In these cases, Liquid is applied first before Markdown processing takes place.

## Headings

Headings are denoted by the hash sign (`#`). The number of hash signs denotes what level of heading it is.

```markdown
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
```

## Styling Text

Markdown allows you to stylize your text by making it bold, italic, and strikethrough.

<pre class="language-markdown"><code class="lang-markdown"><strong>**This is bold**
</strong><strong>*This is italic**
</strong></code></pre>

## Links

You may include clickable links to external URLs through Markdown.

```markdown
You may click the link [here](https://meetbit.io).
