    Two new lines to make a new paragraph.
    Or two empty spaces and one “return” at the end of the previous line to make it just a new line, not a new paragraph.

    Good for poetry.
    Or song lyrics.

    Italics, just get wrapped in asterisks, like *this*.

    The reason I can type it out like this so you can see it is because I “escaped” the asterisk, by putting a backslash (\) before it.

    That backslash in the last paragraph was placed between two back ticks, `like this`, to make it appear in a fixed-width font, like this. Good for code or CLI commands.
