Introduction

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax aimed for web writers. It allows you to easily write text, without the need or help of external tools or a user interface, that later will be formatted as HTML while maintaining readability. Markdown can be used instead of or in conjunction of text formatted with BBCode.
