Frequently Asked Questions
What is Markdown?
Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. It allows you to write using an easy-to-read plain text format, which then converts to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).
How do I make text bold?
Wrap the text in double asterisks, like **this**. For italics, use single asterisks, like *this*.
Can I use HTML tags?
Yes, Markdown supports inline HTML. If you need a specific table or div, you can just type standard HTML code.
