Markdown is a lightweight markup language widely used by application developers to format text while maintaining simplicity. It allows developers to create rich text documents using plain text syntax, which can be easily converted to HTML and other formats. Markdown is particularly popular for writing documentation, README files, and technical blogs due to its readability and minimalistic style. Its syntax is straightforward—using symbols like asterisks for lists and headers with hash symbols—making it simple to learn and use. Many modern development tools and platforms, such as GitHub, Jupyter Notebooks, and Visual Studio Code, natively support or extend Markdown's capabilities, enhancing its utility in the development workflow for creating well-structured and visually appealing text content without needing extensive HTML knowledge.
