What Is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses plain-text formatting (# for headings, ** for bold, - for lists) that converts to HTML. Markdown is the standard for README files, documentation, blogs, and note-taking apps. GitHub, Stack Overflow, Reddit, and most developer tools support it natively.
