+# Lemmy Markdown
+
+Lemmy uses markdown-it for rendering markdown. This means that you can use the same markdown syntax that you would use on Lemmy and it follows the [CommonMark spec](https://commonmark.org/). Here are some examples of markdown that you can use on Lemmy:
+
+## Headers
+
+```markdown
+# Header 1
+## Header 2
+### Header 3
+#### Header 4
+##### Header 5
+###### Header 6
+```

+Result:
+
+<ThemedImage  lightImageUrl="/img/guides/markdown/headers_light.png" darkImageUrl="/img/guides/markdown/headers_dark.png" alt="Markdown Headers"/>
