Markdown

Last updated 6 months ago

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. It is designed to be easy-to-read and easy-to-write, using an intuitive syntax that converts into HTML for web displays.

Markdown allows writers to create formatted documents using simple text editors without needing to delve into intricate HTML coding. Basic elements like headings, lists, links, and emphasis are represented by simple symbols, such as asterisks for emphasis or hashtags for headings, making it efficient for writers to format content consistently across various platforms.

Markdown simply converts to HTML underneath allowing you to quickly write code in web applications like Discord.

Some example of Markdown are below:

# Heading

This is some paragraph text, with a [link](https://docs.gitbook.com) to our docs. 

## Heading 2

- List Item 1
- List Item 2
- List Item 3

*Italicized text* or _Italicized text_

**Bold text**
