Markdown
Markdown is a lightweight markup format for writing plain-text documents that can render as HTML, PDFs, documentation, or blog posts.
Markdown is plain text with a small amount of markup for headings, links, lists, emphasis, code blocks, and images.
Its appeal is portability. A Markdown file can live in Git, be reviewed in a pull request, render nicely on GitHub, power a documentation site, or become a blog post.
Many static sites pair Markdown or MDX body content with YAML frontmatter at the top of the file. The body carries the writing; the frontmatter carries metadata such as title, description, tags, and dates.
