Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other formats using a tool by the same name. It is great as a source writing format for notes, outlines, blog posts, and perhaps even a novel.This course will begin with an introduction to Markdown and will show you how to setup the editor. Once we understand the benefits and purpose of Markdown and have the editor ready to go, we’ll start off with some basics that covers all the core aspects of the Markdown syntax. With the foundations in place, we’ll move on to extended or enhanced flavors of Markdown, which have been nearly universally adopted, and are nearly as well supported as the original core of Markdown. Next, the course shifts from technical execution of various features of Markdown to practical examples and use-cases of Markdown in action.
