* Doing 3 (three) arrows doesn't work, it just creates an text indent, and you can include a space inbetween the arrows.

 > this will create a block quote

 >> this will create a block quote within the first.

lists

 + list

 - also list

 * is as well

 – creates list indentation

 — big indentation line

ordered list

 1. this will make a list

 2. big lists

 1. but you can also keep the number as 1

 1. it'll automatically count them in number order when you're out of editing mode

backticks

 `backticks create code blocks`

 ``as far as i'm aware``

 ```there's no difference in how each of these function or show up on SP```

links

you can paste these normally into any box that has markdown enabled

 [but text in these brackets](with the link here, will hide the link behind the text to make clickable text)

 ![with the exclamation mark, the text you put here could be an image description](with a direct link to the image here)
