## Text Styling

**Bold**  
To make text bold, wrap it with two asterisks (`**`) or two underscores (`__`). For example:

```
**This is bold text**
__This is also bold text__
```

**Italics**  
To italicize text, wrap it with one asterisk (`*`) or one underscore (`_`). For example:

```
*This is italic text*
_This is also italic text_
```

**Strikethrough**  
To strikethrough text, wrap it with two tildes (`~~`). For example:

```
~~This text is strikethrough~~
```

**Bold and Italics Combined**  
You can combine bold and italics for even more emphasis. For example:

```
***This is bold and italic text***
___This is also bold and italic text___
```

## Links

To create a hyperlink, use square brackets `[ ]` to set the text and parentheses `( )` to set the URL. For example:

```
[Glue](/content/site-root.html)
```

**User Mentions**  
To mention a user in our chat app, use the following format:

```
[Jason Yonker](glue:usr_2PtTG7GFSgcgwfpeDOBGEQtyB24)
```

## Inline Code

To include inline code, wrap your text with backticks (`). For example:

```
Here is some inline code: `print("Hello, World!")`
```

## Code Blocks

For longer code snippets, use triple backticks (```) before and after your code block. You can also specify the language for syntax highlighting. For example:

````
```python
for i in range(10):
    print(i)
```
````

## Blockquotes

To create a blockquote, use the greater than (`>`) symbol followed by a space. For example:

```
> This is a blockquote.
```

## Paragraphs

To create paragraphs, simply separate your text with one or more blank lines. For example:

```
This is the first paragraph.

This is the second paragraph.
```

## Lists

**Unordered Lists**
To create an unordered list, use `-`, `*`, or `+` followed by a space. For example:

```
- Item 1
- Item 2
  - Subitem 1
  - Subitem 2
* Item 3
+ Item 4
```

**Ordered Lists**
To create an ordered list, use numbers followed by a period and a space. For example:

```
1. First item
2. Second item
   1. Subitem 1
   2. Subitem 2
3. Third item
```
