Markdown is a powerful and yet simple markup language that allows you to create formatted text documents, all while writing in plain text. These plain text documents can be opened and read in any text editor.
In this tutorial from Allison, you learn the basics of the Markdown syntax, like bold and italics, as well as making checkboxes, create links, and even embed image links, to name a few. Allison also shows you several applications that support Markdown, including TextEdit and BBEdit, with Brett Terpstra's Marked app as a companion renderer. She plays around with Markdown in Meta's Messenger, Apple's own Notes, and much more. Oh, and you find out what Allison's favorite Markdown text editor is!
