What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language used to add formatting elements to plain text documents. Markdown was created by John Gruber in 2004 and has since become one of the most popular markup languages worldwide.
Focuses on content;
Plain text, easy to read and write, and can be easily integrated into version control systems;
Simple syntax, no learning cost, allowing you to type and simultaneously create visually appealing layouts.
Using Markdown differs from using editing tools similar to Word. In Word-like applications, you can instantly format words or phrases by clicking buttons, with changes visible immediately. Markdown differs from this: when creating a Markdown-formatted document, you can add Markdown syntax directly into the text to indicate which words or phrases should appear differently. You can use a text editor to add Markdown formatting elements to plain text files. Alternatively, you can install Markdown applications compatible with macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android operating systems. Or, you can use web-based applications to write in Markdown. Depending on the application you use, you may not be able to preview the formatted document in real time. However, this is not an issue. According to Gruber, Markdown's syntax is designed to be highly readable and unobtrusive, so even without rendering, the text in a Markdown file remains easy to read.
Why use Markdown?
Since text can be formatted via buttons on a graphical interface, why use Markdown for writing? Reasons to use Markdown instead of Word-like editors include:
Markdown is everywhere: mainstream code hosting platforms and many open-source projects use Markdown for README files, development documentation, help guides, Wikis, etc.
Markdown is plain text and portable. Markdown-formatted text files can be opened with virtually any application. If you don't like your current Markdown application, you can import your Markdown files into another Markdown application. This contrasts sharply with Microsoft Word and other word processing applications, which lock your content into proprietary file formats.
Markdown is platform-independent. You can create Markdown-formatted text on any device running any operating system.
Markdown is future-proof. Even if the application you use becomes obsolete in the future, you can still read Markdown-formatted text files with a basic text editor. This is a critical consideration when dealing with books, university theses, and other documents requiring long-term preservation.
