Sure!

The three below seem the most useful, though being able to *make* **text** ~~pretty~~ is also nice.

  1. Escaping special characters with \ whenever the syntax breaks :0
  2. Links, the bedrock of the web: [text](https://example.com)
  3. Lists are great!

    Just add * or - for bullet points, like this:
    * first
    * second
    * third

    Numbered lists are a bit weird though: just 1., 2., 3., but the numbers always start with 1, and you can't override that.
    The text in the bullet point can be multiline if you add two spaces after each line and three one or more before each line after the first one.

There's a short formatting help in the comment form with links to the original Markdown syntax and the reddit's version of it.

There's also CommonMark, an effort to standardize Markdown. The original spec wasn't precise enough, so every parser is a bit different.
