When you're writing descriptions or other large blocks of copy, Sheep allows you to add some simple formatting to your text by using a system known as Markdown.

Here are a few simple examples to help you get started:

Headings

# Heading text
To create a heading use the # character at the beginning of a line.

Subheadings

## Subheading text
To create a subheading use two ## characters at the beginning of a line.

Paragraphs

Paragraphs are created by adding an empty line between two blocks of text. A single enter keypress is ignored in Markdown, to allow you to easily format your text.

Two enter key presses begins a new paragraph.

Formatting

You can make text bold or italic for emphasis using one or two of either the * or _ characters.

You can make text **bold** or _italic_ (or __bold__ or *italic*) for emphasis using one or two of either the `*` or `_` characters.

Lists

Markdown can create two sorts of list:

unordered list (with bullet points)
ordered list (with numbers)

To create an unordered list:

start with a blank line
enter * list item on a new line
enter * next list item on a new line
end with a blank line

To create an ordered list:

start with a blank line
enter 1. list item on a new line
enter 5. next list item on a new line (the actual number doesn't matter - Markdown will increment the list for you)
enter 1. last list item on another new line (see?)
end with a blank line

Links

Links can be added by using [link text](url) method. Below is an example:
