About Markdown
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004 for writing formatted text using a plain-text editor. With simple syntax like # for headings and **bold** for emphasis, Markdown is widely used for documentation, README files, technical writing, and note-taking. Files typically use .md or .markdown extensions.

Markdown's simplicity makes it ideal for version-controlled documentation—GitHub, GitLab, and most development platforms render it natively. For sharing with non-technical audiences or printing, converting to PDF preserves formatting universally.
