What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup
language that you can use to add
formatting elements to plaintext text
documents.
Created by John Gruber in 2004,
Markdown is now one of the world’s
most popular markup languages.
Markdown syntax is designed to be
readable and unobtrusive, so the text
in Markdown files can be read even if it
isn’t rendered.
