## Titles
Best used for section headers.
```md
## Titles
```
### Subtitles
Best use to subsection headers.
```md
### Subtitles
```
<Tip>
Each **title** and **subtitle** creates an anchor and also shows up on the table of contents on the right.

## Text Formatting
We support most markdown formatting. Simply add `**`, `_`, or `~` around text to format it.
| Style | How to write it | Result |
| ------------- | ----------------- | --------------- |
| Bold | `**bold**` | **bold** |
| Italic | `_italic_` | _italic_ |
| Strikethrough | `~strikethrough~` | ~strikethrough~ |
You can combine these. For example, write `**_bold and italic_**` to get **_bold and italic_** text.
You need to use HTML to write superscript and subscript text. That is, add `<sup>` or `<sub>` around your text.
| Text Size | How to write it | Result |
| ----------- | ------------------------ | ---------------------- |
| Superscript | `<sup>superscript</sup>` | <sup>superscript</sup> |
| Subscript | `<sub>subscript</sub>` | <sub>subscript</sub> |
## Linking to Pages
You can add a link by wrapping text in `[]()`. You would write `[link to google](https://google.com)` to [link to google](https://google.com).
Links to pages in your docs need to be root-relative. Basically, you should include the entire folder path. For example, `[link to text](/writing-content/text)` links to the page "Text" in our components section.
Relative links like `[link to text](../text)` will open slower because we cannot optimize them as easily.
## Blockquotes
### Singleline
To create a blockquote, add a `>` in front of a paragraph.
> Dorothy followed her through many of the beautiful rooms in her castle.
```md
> Dorothy followed her through many of the beautiful rooms in her castle.
```
### Multiline
> Dorothy followed her through many of the beautiful rooms in her castle.
>
> The Witch bade her clean the pots and kettles and sweep the floor and keep the fire fed with wood.
