Why Markdown?

Markdown is a simple formatting tool that helps turn plain text into a pretty document, — be it a post, a blog, a paper, a book or just a couple of notes.

It enables faster creating and editing of posts. You can mark up your text in nearly any way you like. It is widely used, easy to pick up and makes writing much more productive.

Markdown gives you a nice durable way to create readable text that you will be able to read and edit any time. It eliminates dependency on a single software app and lets you create, publish and share with confidence.

When presenting content in Markdown, the input looks as nice as the output.
