Code

The simplest way to format text as code is to indent 4 spaces.
Text `inside tick marks` is considered code.

Text inside tick marks is considered code.

```markdown
Code can be "fenced" by placing three tick marks above and below.
Putting the name of the language after the first three tick marks will (depending on the engine you're using) format the code.  For example, the lines below will be formatted as markdown.  
    This is a comment.
*Italics*
**Bold**

Tables

*Note: tables are not part of the original set of Markdown instructions and may or may not be rendered correctly depending on the interpreter.

Miscellaneous

The overall philosophy of markdown is that it should be "publishable as-is, in plain text, without looking like it's been marked up with tags or formatting instructions."
