Code Blocks

// JavaScript example
const greeting = "Hello, G:URL*s!";

function welcomeUser(name) {
  console.log(`${greeting} Welcome, ${name}!`);
  return true;
}

welcomeUser("Developer");
# Python example
def calculate_sum(a, b):
    """Calculate the sum of two numbers"""
    return a + b

result = calculate_sum(5, 3)
print(f"The result is: {result}")
<!-- HTML example -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>G:URL*s</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome!</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Blockquotes

This is a blockquote with important information. It can span multiple lines and will be styled beautifully.

You can even have multiple paragraphs in a blockquote.

Getting Started with JavaScript

JavaScript is the programming language of the web. Here’s what you need to know:

Key Concepts:

  1. Variables - Store data using let, const, or var
  2. Functions - Reusable blocks of code
  3. Objects - Collections of key-value pairs

Pro Tip: Always use const by default, and only use let when you need to reassign a variable.

Try this simple example:

const message = "Hello, World!";
console.log(message);

For more information, check out MDN Web Docs.
