Markdown ā
An alternative to Markup for writing articles that is designed for simplicity.
Writing content directly in HTML is cumbersome and error-prone. Markdown is pure text at its core. Markdown supports some formatting rules typically used in plain text e-mails, such as bullet points in lists, underscores for emphasis, or marking each line of quoted text with > at the beginning of the line. Thus, most plain text is automatically valid Markdown.
Normally Markdown is translated into HTML and formatted with CSS. The core of Markdown is quite limited when it comes to fancy formatting. This has led to a number of extensions, which in turn bring back some of the original complexity of HTML š.
