It allows you to skim a document in any editor and have an idea of the formatting in front of you. Easy to readĪs mentioned in the standard, Markdown was designed to be a highly readable in plain text. The style sheets on your blog, the beautiful theme on your note-taking app or a book publishing template take care of most of your visuals beforehand and unless you’re doing an entirely custom document it is very rare to feel limited by using Markdown. It’s important to acknowledge that a lot of the styling done to your Markdown document happens somewhere else and that’s why you are able to use a minimal syntax. The syntax can really accelerate your output as you don’t need to interrupt your thought process to format the text but it doesn’t prevent editors from providing formatting bars 1 and allowing for rich media embeds like in Dropbox Paper. Result: My quick example gets formatted like this. Markdown Text: My *quick* example gets **formatted** like ~~this~~. This allows you to seamlessly interweave formatting and content typing with minimal disruption. Bold letters, italics, headings or lists are added by using using simple markers instead of wrapping text with tags or relying on formatting bars. Markdown’s syntax allows you to quickly format your text while you write.
