@Desmi-Dizney, I think you are right. Including the Markdown section under the section for writers is better.

* Update markdown-guide.md

Headings

Try to stay within three or four heading levels. Complicated documents may use more, but pages with a simpler structure are easier to read.

The Fleet website currently supports the following Markdown link types.

It's a classic.

Example

[This is an inline link](https://domain.com/example.md)

Rendered output

This is an inline link

Adding a tooltip to your link is a great way to provide additional information.

Example

[This is link with a tooltip](https://domain.com/example.md "You're awesome!")

Rendered output

This is link with a tooltip

URLs

Add angle brackets "< >" around a URL to turn it into a link.

Example

<https://fleetdm.com>

Rendered output

https://fleetdm.com

Emails

To create a mailto link... oh wait, I'm not going to tell you.

Important

: To avoid spam, we NEVER use mailto links.

Tables

To create a table, start with the header by separating rows with pipes (" | "). Use dashes (at least 3) to separate the header, and add colons to align the text in the table columns.

Example

| Category one | Category two | Category three |
|:---|---:|:---:|
| Left alignment | Right alignment | Center Alignment |

Rendered output

Category one Category two Category three
Left alignment Right alignment Center Alignment
