## 🎯 Quick Start

Your notes support **Markdown** — a simple way to format text that's easy to learn and powerful to use. Everything you write is automatically saved and synced.

---

## 📝 Headings

Create a hierarchy in your notes using `#` symbols:

```markdown
# Chapter Title (H1)
## Section (H2)
### Subsection (H3)
#### Topic (H4)
##### Subtopic (H5)
###### Detail (H6)
```

**Tip:** Use headings to organize lecture notes, study guides, or project outlines!

---

## ✨ Text Emphasis

Make your text stand out:

| Style | Syntax | Result |
|-------|--------|--------|
| Bold | `**bold**` or `__bold__` | **bold** |
| Italic | `*italic*` or `_italic_` | *italic* |
| Bold + Italic | `***both***` | ***both*** |
| Strikethrough | `~~crossed out~~` | ~~crossed out~~ |

**Example:**
```markdown
This is **important** and this is *emphasized*.
You can also use ***both together*** for maximum impact!
```

## 📋 Lists

### Unordered Lists (Bullet Points)
```markdown
- First item
- Second item
  - Nested item
  - Another nested item
- Third item
```

### Ordered Lists (Numbered)
```markdown
1. First step
2. Second step
   1. Sub-step A
   2. Sub-step B
3. Third step
```

### Task Lists (Checklists)
Perfect for tracking study tasks!
```markdown
- [x] Complete Chapter 1 reading
- [x] Review lecture notes
- [ ] Practice problems 1-10
- [ ] Prepare for quiz
```

---

## 🔗 Links

```markdown
[Visible Text](https://example.com)
[Google](https://google.com)
```

---

## 💻 Code

### Inline Code
Use backticks for inline code:
```markdown
The `console.log()` function prints output.
```

### Code Blocks
Use triple backticks with optional language for syntax highlighting:

````markdown
```python
def hello_world():
    print("Hello, Study Cipher!")
```

```javascript
const greet = () => console.log("Hello!");
```

```java
public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Hello!");
}
```
````

## 📊 Tables

Organize data neatly:

```markdown
| Subject | Status | Priority |
|---------|--------|----------|
| Math | In Progress | High |
| Physics | Complete | Medium |
| Chemistry | Not Started | Low |
```

**Alignment options:**
```markdown
| Left | Center | Right |
|:-----|:------:|------:|
| L    | C      | R     |
```

---

## 💬 Blockquotes

Great for highlighting key concepts or quotes:

```markdown
> "The only way to do great work is to love what you do."
> — Steve Jobs

> **Key Concept:** This is an important definition 
> that spans multiple lines.
```

---

## ➖ Horizontal Rules

Separate sections with a horizontal line:

```markdown
---
```
or
```markdown
***
```

---

## 🖼️ Images

```markdown
![Alt text](image-url.jpg)
![Study Diagram](https://example.com/diagram.png)
```
