Re: MD Format
Markdown is a lightweight mark-up language with plain text formatting syntax designed so that it can be converted to HTML and many other formats using a tool by the same name. Markdown is often used to format readme files, for writing messages in online discussion forums, and to create rich text using a plain text editor. There is no clearly defined Markdown standard, apart from the original write up and implementation by John Gruber, which some consider abandon ware. This has led to fragmentation as different vendors write their own variants of the language to correct flaws or add missing feature. A standards effort for the Internet media type text/markdown (independent of the syntax) is underway in the IETF. Plans are to submit the Internet-Draft, draft-ietf-appsawg-text-markdown to the IESG. The Markdown community is invited to submit use cases for Markdown to inform the media type standardization process. A number of other lightweight markup languages extend Markdown by adding features (such as tables, footnotes, definition lists, and Markdown inside HTML blocks) not available in plain Markdown syntax. Among these are Markdown Extra, Multi Markdown, and the Pandoc Markdown extension. Example text using Markdown syntax Heading ======= Sub-heading ----------- ### Another deeper heading Paragraphs are separated by a blank line. Leave 2 spaces at the end of a line to do a line break Text attributes *italic*, **bold**, `monospace`, ~~strikethrough~~ .
