What is Markdown
We learned about the md file format today. A plain text formatting syntax called Markdown was created to simplify internet writing. The idea behind Markdown is that plain text documents ought to be readable without the interference of tags, but that there needs to be a mechanism to include text modifiers like lists, bold, italics, etc. It serves as an alternative to WYSIWYG editors, which use rich text that is later translated to correct HTML.
