What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It allows you to write formatted text using plain text syntax that is easy to read and write. Markdown is widely used for documentation, README files, blog posts, and content management systems.

The main advantage of Markdown is its simplicity. Unlike HTML, which requires tags for every formatting element, Markdown uses intuitive symbols like asterisks for bold, hashes for headings, and dashes for lists. This makes it faster to write and easier to maintain.

Common Use Cases

  • Converting README.md files to HTML for websites or documentation
  • Preparing blog posts written in Markdown for web publishing
  • Generating HTML emails from Markdown templates
  • Creating documentation pages from Markdown source files
  • Converting notes and documents for web presentation
