# markdown in RMarkdown

Text in RMarkdown documents is written in **markdown**.

This is a *tiny* markup language which has the following features:

- Set headings with #, ##, ###

- \*italics\* and \*\*bold\*\* markup text, respectively

- \[link text\]\(url\)

- ... see the [RMarkdown Cheatsheet for more](https://github.com/rstudio/cheatsheets/raw/master/rmarkdown-2.0.pdf)

Note that markdown is used for formatting content in StackOverflow, GitHub and many other places - it's worth learning.
