What is Markdown?

Markdown is a versatile text-to-HTML conversion tool that empowers web writers to compose content using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, which can then be seamlessly converted into structurally valid XHTML or HTML. This multifaceted solution comprises two key components: (1) a comprehensive plain text formatting syntax, and (2) a powerful software tool, written in Perl, that transforms the formatted plain text into dynamic and well-structured web content
