Writing in Markdown

Despite how it sounds, Markdown is actually a markup language! A markup language is a system for annotating a document in a way that is syntactically distinguishable from the text. Markup languages tend to encourage writers to focus on content and structure before concerning themselves with presentation.

Structure is defined for a processor through the use of tags embedded directly in the text.

You learned about Markdown and Markdown files last topic, but let’s look at another example:

Markdown

A **markup language** is a system for annotating a document in a way that is syntactically distinguishable from the text. Markup languages tend to encourage writers to focus on *content* and *structure* before concerning themselves with presentation.

You can see that in order to make text bold, I need to wrap it in double asterisks: **bold**. Italic text is wrapped in single asterisks: *italic*.
