What is a .MD file?

Markdown (MD) is a lightweight plain-text formatting syntax that renders to HTML.

Did you know
  • Markdown was created by John Gruber, with Aaron Swartz, in 2004.
  • Markdown’s overriding design goal was readability: a Markdown document should be publishable as-is as plain text, without looking like it has been marked up.
  • Gruber said the single biggest influence on Markdown’s syntax was the way people had long formatted plain-text email by hand.
  • Markdown was originally a Perl script, Markdown.pl, that converted the marked-up text into valid XHTML or HTML.
