## Markdown
|
|
Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. It is designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other formats using a tool by the same name. Markdown is often used to format README files, for writing messages in online discussion forums, and to create rich text using a plain text editor. You can also write Markdown in your text editor (like Sublime Text or Visual Studio Code).
|
|
Markdown is gaining in visibility and popularity through the emergence of streamlined, "distraction-free" text editors.
