What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that allows you to add formatting elements to plaintext documents. Created by John Gruber in 2004, it is now one of the world's most popular markup languages used by millions of developers, writers, and content creators worldwide.

Unlike complex word processors, Markdown uses simple syntax like asterisks for bold and hashtags for headings. This simplicity makes it perfect for writing documentation and README files without getting distracted.
