Markdown <br>
Hello! This is my first entry on Medium. This blog will be a record of the things I’ve learned, ranging from large concepts to tips and tricks I’ve come across as I work my way through the Launch School curriculum. First off, I’d like to offer a solution to a nagging problem that’s come up for me twice now on that journey.
The problem is related to Markdown. It’s a basic formatting mistake that took me way longer to solve than it probably should have.

Hopefully, the next time you find yourself writing a message on a platform that uses Markdown, you’ll remember this little trick, and save yourself some time.
Thanks for reading!
