Markdown

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. Once you written your document in Markdown, you can convert it to HTML, XHTML and other formats. John Gruber developed the Markdown language in 2004. Unlike mark up languages, text in Markdown is not marked with tags like <h1> <b> etc.,  It is easy to read and write.
