Welcome to Next Wave

Ordered List

Links

Links are encouraged and should appear in inline text like so.

Images

Images are to be used sparingly, and you are responsible for hosting your own images (I suggest imgur).

The styling for images will be worked on iteratively as more blog posts are submitted.

Blockquotes

This is a blockquote. You can use it to emphasize a quote or important information.

Code

Inline code can be added with backticks.

For code blocks, use triple backticks:

def hello_world():
    print("Hello, World!")

Horizontal Rule

Tables

Tables are preferably formatted in Markdown so that they render natively. You can use your own image, just beware as it may not format properly on mobile.

| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | |----------|----------|----------| | Row 1, Col 1 | Row 1, Col 2 | Row 1, Col 3 | | Row 2, Col 1 | Row 2, Col 2 | Row 2, Col 3 |

Task Lists

• [x] Completed task
• [ ] Incomplete task

Remember, the formatting options available may depend on the markdown parser used in your blog setup. Adjust as needed!
