+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.
+
+Original Markdown implementation is written in Perl. Discount provides a
+Markdown CLI tool and a library, written in C.
