**Paragraphs** are the most ubiquitous blocks. You will use them a lot.
To create a paragraph, just write text. Paragraphs are separated by empty lines.
* {```
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
Second line of paragraph 2
```}
* {
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
Second line of paragraph 2
}
You can apply styling to paragraph content.
* {```
You can use //italic//, **bold**, `monospace`, ++highlighted++, ^^lifted&^, __underscored__, ,,lowered,, or ~~striked-through~~ text. You can also ++//combine//++ them!
```}
* You can use //italic//, **bold**, `monospace`, ++highlighted++, ^^lifted^^, __underscored__, ,,lowered,, or ~~striked-through~~ text. You can also ++//combine//++ them!
Use the backslash to prevent the styling.
* {```
This is not \//italic\//
```}
* This is not \//italic\//
You do not have to close the stylings, they will span until the end of line.
* {```
This is //italic
This is not
```}
* {
This is //italic
This is not
}
You can include inline links.
* {```
Just a paragraph with a couple of [[https://example.org | links]] leading [[nowhere]].
```}
* Just a paragraph with a couple of [[https://example.org | links]] leading [[nowhere]].

## Heading
There are six levels of **headings**. They consist of some hash signs followed by a space and the heading itself. You can format the heading like a paragraph. You should probably not use level 1 because the hypha name title is already level 1.
```
# level 1
## level 2
### level 3
#### level 4
##### level 5
###### level 6
```
There is an invisible link denoted by the § sign near every heading. You can reveal it with a mouse. If you click it, the URL in the browser will change to the URL leading to that very heading. Try that on headings in this article.
## Codeblock
Use **codeblocks** to show code or any other preformatted text. Codeblocks start with triple backticks on column 1 and end similarly. You can write any text after the backticks, it is ignored. Put the preformatted text between them.
Like that, but without leading spaces:
```
```
this is preformatted
see
```
```
```
this is preformatted
see
```
## Horizontal line
Write four hyphens to insert a **horizontal line**.
Use **image galleries** to embed images to the page. Images can be either hyphae or external files. In the example below you can replace the URL with a hypha's name. If that hypha is an image, the image will be shown.
You can write a description for the image and specify its size.
