This is an example rule + markdown cheatsheet to show you the things you can use to format an SSW rule.

1. Headings, paragraphs, and blockquotes

# This is a heading 1
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation. qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laboru.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborumsunt in culpa qui officia.

## This is a heading 2
### This is a heading 3
#### This is a heading 4 
##### This is a heading 5
###### This is a heading 6 and below is a blockquote
> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante.  
>                                   - Someone famous in Source Title

if(iceCream === 'chocolate') {
  alert('Yay, I love chocolate ice cream!');    
} else {
  alert('Awwww, but chocolate is my favorite...');    
}
