What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format that can be converted to HTML. Markdown is widely used for README files, documentation, forums, and blogging platforms.

GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)

GitHub Flavored Markdown extends the standard Markdown syntax with additional features like:

Strikethrough text (~~text~~)
Task lists (- [ ] and - [x])
Tables
Automatic URL linking
Syntax highlighting in code blocks

Best Practices

Use headers to structure your content hierarchically
Add blank lines between different elements
Use meaningful link text instead of "click here"
Specify language for code blocks for syntax highlighting
Keep lines under 80 characters for better readability
Use consistent list markers (- or *)
Preview your Markdown before converting
