Markdown
Markdown is a plain text markup language intended to be rendered as a web page. Variants and extensions exist.
The Markdown markup at a glance:
# Heading ## Heading ### Heading ... ###### Heading Alternative heading markup ========================== Alternative heading markup -------------------------- Paragraph text spanning two lines, featuring _italics_, __boldface__, `code`, and a [hyperlink](http://en.wikibooks.org/). Also possible are *italics* and **boldface**, and as an extension, ~~strikethrough~~. Bulleted list: * item 1 * item 2 * item 3 Numbered list: 1. item 1 2. item 2 3. item 3 ---- The above is a horizontal rule. Let me quote: > This is formatted > as a block quote.
