A Basic Guide to Markdown
I prefer to draft my articles using a Markdown editor. Markdown has a simple syntax for formatting documents, and it is easy to convert to other formats, which allows my stories to be published on different platforms.
As this is a brief introduction to Markdown, I won’t show alternative syntaxes for achieving the same result or cover all possible Markdown syntaxes.
In this guide, the Markdown syntax is followed by its HTML equivalent and the resulting output.
