!SLIDE bullets

What is Markdown?

• plain text-to-HTML markup language
• easy to read and write
• implementations in every language

!SLIDE bullets

Why plain text?

• Readable in any text editor
• Version control
• Use the same tools

!SLIDE

But isn’t this just another markup language?

I had to use PmWiki/MediaWiki/BBCode

on a project and it sucked!

!SLIDE bullets

• Bold text
  **now it's bold!**
• Heading
  # h1 ## h2
• Links
  [text here](url here)
• Code snippet
  `one-liner`

!SLIDE bullets

Use any of these sites?

Github

Stack Overflow

Reddit

already using Markdown
