What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It's designed to be easy to read and write, using plain text formatting that converts to HTML. Markdown is widely used in documentation, README files, blogs, forums, and note-taking apps.

Common Use Cases

• Writing README files for GitHub repositories
• Drafting blog posts and documentation
• Preparing content for static site generators (Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby)
• Writing notes in tools like Obsidian, Notion, or Bear
• Creating formatted messages for Discord, Slack, and Reddit
