Learn Markdown: The Complete Guide on Markdown Formatting

Markdown is a plain text formatting method. Formatting is done in structured style using syntax, which is basically punctuations and characters. You don't need to use opening and closing tags as you do in Markup language. In Markdown, you don't need to create any styles for formatting; you can apply a style by typing a syntax. However, many of the Markdown editors have predefined styles that you need to simply apply to format content. In case, you don't find any syntax for formatting, you can simply use the tags that you may use in normal HTML.Markdown is a lightweight plain text file and is best preferred for the web-based content, standalone web pages, and single HTML pages such as readme, user license, privacy policy, terms & conditions, FAQs, email text, discussion forums, blogs, wikis, and others. It also gives good result for the Help files for handheld devices and HTML5.
