What is Markdown?
Markdown is a way to style text on the web. You can control the display of your text; formatting words as bold or italic, and creating lists are just a few of the things you can do with Markdown. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters thrown in, like # or *.
