What Markdown is
Markdown is a plain-text writing format that uses small punctuation conventions for structure. A line beginning with # becomes a heading, **double asterisks** make bold text, and a hyphen begins a list item. It stays readable even before conversion.
Markdown to HTML basics
HTML gives browsers structure; Markdown gives writers a short way to describe that structure. A Markdown converter turns the readable source into tags such as h1, p, strong, a, ul, and li.
- # Heading becomes an h1 element.
- **bold** becomes strong text.
- [label](https://example.com) becomes a link.
- - item becomes an unordered list.
Check links and raw HTML
Always review the generated HTML before publishing. Check that links point to the intended destination and that any raw HTML or embedded content follows the security rules of the site where you will paste it.
Keep the original Markdown as your source file. HTML is usually the publishing format, but Markdown is easier to edit and version-control.
