What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax. Created by John Gruber in 2004, it's designed to be easy to write and read in its source form, while still allowing it to be converted to HTML and other formats. Markdown is widely used for documentation, readme files, forum posts, and note-taking due to its simplicity and versatility.
