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.

Markdown is lightweight, version-control friendly, and platform-independent unlike proprietary Word formats

Markdown vs Rich Text Editors

Markdown separates content from formatting, making it faster to write and easier to maintain

Markdown vs HTML

Markdown is human-readable and much faster to write while still converting perfectly to HTML

Markdown vs LaTeX

Markdown has a gentler learning curve and is more suitable for web-based content and documentation

Add language identifiers to code blocks for syntax highlighting
Use tables for structured data presentation
Leverage task lists for todo items and project planning
Keep lines under 80 characters when possible for better version control
