BlockQuote

Inorder to create a blockquote, we can use the greater than sign >. We can create a single-line or multi-line blockquote. Also, blockquote inside a blockquote. We can add other text styles inside a blockquote, such as bold or italic text styles.

> single - line Hello World

Multi-Line
>  Hello World line-1
>                      line-2
> Hello World  line-3
>                      line-4

>  Heading 1 - Hello World.
>>  sub heading Hello World.
>>> sub heading Hello World.
> **Bold in blockquote** *italic in blockquote.*

The output of Block quote is:

single - line Hello World

Hello World line-1 line-2 Hello World line-3 line-4

Heading 1 - Hello World.

sub heading Hello World.

sub heading Hello World.

Bold in blockquote italic in blockquote.

Text Decorations

We can do text decorations for a given line by adding Underline, Monospaced and strike Text Decoration Syntax are:

Monospaced
<samp>Markdown is a for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor.</samp>

Underlined
<ins>Underlined text.</ins>

Strike-through
~~ striking for discount or deprecated ~~

Table

We can use <table/> to write tables

<table><tr><td>hi.</td><td>hello</td></tr><tr><td>hi.</td><td>hello</td></tr></table>

Scripts-style

we can write sub and super scripts

Subscript <sub>stays at bottom</sub>
Superscript <sup>stays on top</sup>

The output of subscripts and superscripts are:

Subscript _{stays at bottom} Superscript ^{stays on top}

Alignments

We can align the content right or left or center for text or images Aligning elements at left <p align="left"> ![image.png](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1658736340838/y85p_u7XC.png align="left") </p>

Unorderd-List

Unordered list, we can asterisk, plus, or minus sign instead of number as we keep in ordered list.

* 1
+ 1
- 1

Task-List

Now let’s create a task list. We can create a task list using a hyphen followed by [ ], and to mark a task complete, we put an x inside the brackets.
