# Markdown

Markdown is a language that makes it easy to write nicely formatted (rich) text. It's easy to learn and looks nice even without any syntax highlighting.

It converts to HTML. So, most static site generators support markdown, many as its primary data format.

It is also used for writing:

• books
• research papers
• documentation
• technical specification
• Wiki
• digital gardens

If you are a professional or hobbyist who writes a lot, learning this will benefit you.
