What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to write formatted text using plain text syntax. Created by John Gruber in 2004, Markdown has become the de facto standard for writing documentation, README files, blog posts, and technical content. Its simplicity and readability make it ideal for both humans and machines to process.
Common Markdown Syntax
- Headings: Use # for h1, ## for h2, ### for h3, etc.
- Bold: Wrap text with **double asterisks** or __double underscores__
- Italic: Wrap text with *single asterisks* or _single underscores_
- Links: [Link text](https://url.com) creates hyperlinks
- Images:  embeds images
- Code: Use backticks for `inline code` or triple backticks for code blocks
- Lists: Use - or * for unordered lists, numbers for ordered lists
- Blockquotes: Start lines with > for quoted text
Why Use Markdown?
Markdown is platform-independent and future-proof. Files are plain text, so they'll never become obsolete. It's supported by GitHub, GitLab, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Discord, and countless other platforms. Markdown is faster to write than HTML, easier to read than rich text formats, and converts beautifully to HTML, PDF, and other formats. It's perfect for documentation, note-taking, blogging, and technical writing.
