What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that uses plain text formatting syntax. It was created so that people could write using an easy-to-read format that converts to valid HTML. It is used everywhere - GitHub READMEs, blog posts, documentation, and chat applications like Slack and Discord all support Markdown.

The idea is simple. Instead of writing HTML tags you use simple punctuation. A hash sign makes a heading. Asterisks make text bold or italic. A hyphen makes a list item. The result is text that is readable as-is and also converts cleanly to HTML.

Common Markdown Syntax

# Heading 1 - ## Heading 2 - **bold** - *italic* - `code` - [link](url) - ![image](url) - - list item - > blockquote
