What is Markdown?

Understanding the lightweight markup language that powers modern documentation

Markdown Basics

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It allows you to format plain text documents using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write syntax that converts to HTML.

It's widely used for README files, documentation, blogs, and note-taking because of its simplicity and readability.

Why Use Markdown?

  • Easy to Learn: Simple syntax that anyone can master in minutes
  • Platform Independent: Works everywhere, from GitHub to WordPress
  • Future-Proof: Plain text files that will always be readable
  • Widely Supported: Used by GitHub, Reddit, Stack Overflow, and more
