It's just a guide on how to format your text while writing post on the forum.

For example, the guide tells you that surround a word by two asterisks will make it look bold after you posted.

That means that when we want to ask a Question in the form we should go the the relevant language and then click on it so that the format appears Right!!! Its a sorta template?

No, it's just a formatting syntax to make your post looks nicer. It's totally okay to post in plain text without using markdown at all in the forum. If you wanna learn more about it, you can check out this Youtube video https://youtu.be/6A5EpqqDOdk

Markdown is just a teams of formatting code so it makes displaying your code easier and clearer.

Don't worry if it's daunting at the moment. The more you use it the more you'll get the hang of it. :)
