Handbook Format Tutorial

This tutorial will guide you on how to format your handbook in the desired style. Following this format will ensure consistency and readability throughout your document.

Table of Contents

Headers

Headers are used to structure your document and provide hierarchy. There are six levels of headers available, denoted by the number of "#" symbols preceding the header text. For example:

# Level 1 Header
## Level 2 Header
### Level 3 Header
#### Level 4 Header
##### Level 5 Header
###### Level 6 Header

Lists

There are two types of lists you can use: ordered and unordered.

Ordered List

To create an ordered list, use numbers followed by a period (e.g., "1. Item 1"). For example:

1. Item 1
2. Item 2
3. Item 3

Unordered List

To create an unordered list, use hyphens, asterisks, or plus signs (e.g., "- Item 1"). For example:

- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3

You can add links to your handbook to provide additional resources or references. To create a link, use the following format:

[Link Text](URL)

For example:

Images

To add an image to your handbook, use the following format:

![Alt Text](image-url)

For example:

![Logo](https://example.com/logo.png)

Code Blocks

To display code or command snippets, use code blocks.

Inline code can be formatted using backticks (`). For example:

Use `git commit -m "Commit message"` to commit changes.

To create a code block with multiple lines, use triple backticks (```). Specify the language for syntax highlighting after the opening triple backticks. For example:

```python def hello_world(): print("Hello, world!") ```

Tables

Tables can be created using the pipe symbol (|) to separate columns and hyphens (-) to create the header row. For example:

| Header 1 | Header 2 |
|----------|----------|
| Cell 1 | Cell 2 |
| Cell 3 | Cell 4 |

Blockquotes

To create a blockquote, use the greater-than symbol (>). For example:

> This is a blockquote.
> It can span multiple lines.

These formatting guidelines will help you create a well-structured and visually appealing handbook. Remember to keep the content concise and informative to provide the best experience for your readers. Happy writing!
