Markdown is a lightweight markup language used to create formatted text using a plain-text editor. Created by John Gruber in 2004, it has become the de facto standard for technical documentation, GitHub READMEs, and static site blogging. Because it is highly flexible, different writers often use different styles for lists or tables. Formatting ensures that these differences are reconciled into a single, clean standard like CommonMark or GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM).
