Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown
|
||
|
|
allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text
|
||
|
|
format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The overriding design goal for Markdown's formatting syntax is to make
|
||
|
|
it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted
|
||
|
|
document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking
|
||
|
|
like it?s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While
|
||
|
|
Markdown's syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML
|
||
|
|
filters, the single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown's
|
||
|
|
syntax is the format of plain text email.
