+# Markdown style guide
+
+This guide for Markdown style helps keep contributions consistent across all documentation
+created for Grafana products. Refer to the guide and update its sections as needed when a
+Subject Matter Expert answers a question on Markdown style, or a decision is made about
+how to apply Markdown.
+
+## Headers
+
+In Markdown, the number of "#" symbols creates different heading levels, similar to
+HTML heading levels:
+
+**Example**
+
+* \# is \<h1>.
+* \#\# is \<h2>.
+* \#\#\# is \<h3>.
+
+Start your document with a single ``#`` for the title of the page. Add the sub-headings with two ``##``.
+
+## Bold and emphasis
+
+* Make text **bold** using two asterisks.
+
+**Example:** It is ``**important**`` to use Github Flavored Markdown emoji consistently.
+
+* Make text ``*emphasized*`` using single `` _underscores_`` or a single asterisk.
+
+**Example:** Github Flavored Markdown emoji should _only_ appear in specific cases.
+
+
+## Links and references
+
+Create links to other website by wrapping the display text in square brackets, and
+the web URL in curved brackets.
+
+\[text to display](www.website.com)
+
+**Example:** For more information on including emoji in Github flavored Markdown, refer to the [webfx page on emoji](https://www.webfx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/) for a list of emoji.
+
+## Block quotes
+
+Include Block quotes inside text using right-facing arrows:
+
+**Example**
+
+> Any important information
+> about emoji can be separated into
+> a blockquote.
+
+## Code blocks
+
+Code blocks written with markdown can show off syntax highlighting specific
+to different languages. Use three back tics to create a code block:
+
+```
+function testNum(a) {
+  if (a > 0) {
+    return "positive";
+  } else {
+    return "NOT positive";
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Write the name of the language after the first set of back tics, no spaces,
+to show specific syntax highlighting. For example; "\```javascript" produces the following:
+
+```javascript
+function testNum(a) {
+  if (a > 0) {
+    return "positive";
+  } else {
+    return "NOT positive";
+  }
+}
+```
+## Tables
+
+Construct a table by typing the table headings, and separating them with
+a "|" character. Then, add a second line of dashes ("-") separated by
+another "|" character. When constructing the table cells, separate each cell data with another
+"|".
+
+**Example**
+
+Heading one | Heading two
+
+\------------|------------
+
+Cell one data| Cell two data
+
+Will publish as:
+
+Heading one | Heading two
+------------|------------
+Cell one data| Cell two data
+
+## Lists
+
+### Numbered lists
+
+To avoid inconsistent list numbering, use repetitive list numbering:
+
+\1. First
+
+\1. Second
+
+\1. Third
+
+The list above will always display as:
+
+1. First
+2. Second
+3. Third
+
+### Unordered lists
+
+Build a list of points - an unordered or unnumbered list - by
+using "\*" characters.
+
+**Example**
+
+* First
+* Another item
+* The last list item
+
+## Images
+
+Include images in a document using the following syntax:
+
+**Example** \!\[Grafana Logo](/link/to/grafanalogo/logo.png)
+
+This follows the format of "!", alt text wrapped in "[]" and the link URL wrapped in "()".
+
+## Comments
+
+You can include comments that will not appear in published markdown using the
+following syntax:
+
+\[comment]: <> (Comment text to display)
+
+The word "comment" wrapped in "[]" followed by a ":", a space, "<>", and then
+the comment itself wrapped in "()".
