What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It allows you to format plain text using simple syntax that's easy to read and write. Markdown is widely used for creating documentation, README files, blog posts, and technical writing because it converts seamlessly to HTML while remaining human-readable.
Common Use Cases for Markdown
Technical Documentation
Create comprehensive API docs, user guides, and software documentation with proper formatting and code examples
GitHub README Files
Write compelling project descriptions, installation guides, and contribution guidelines for your repositories
Blog Writing & Content Creation
Draft blog posts, articles, and web content with clean formatting that converts easily to HTML
Meeting Notes & Documentation
Take structured meeting notes, create project plans, and maintain team documentation
Academic Writing
Write research papers, thesis documents, and academic content with proper citations and formatting
Personal Knowledge Base
Create personal wikis, study notes, and knowledge management systems
