What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight text format invented by John Gruber in 2004. It uses simple syntax like # for headings and ** for bold to write formatted content in plain text.
Markdown is used for blog posts, documentation, README files, forum posts, and any web content where easy writing matters more than complex formatting.
What is HTML?
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the language of the web. Converting Markdown to HTML produces the code needed to display your formatted content in any web browser.
Web developers often write content in Markdown and convert to HTML for publishing, since Markdown is much easier to write than raw HTML.
