# Markdown in 5min

## Introduction to Markdown Language

Markdown is a simple language to build web pages. It is easier to read and write than HTML (the language web browsers read) and so we use it to write articles and have a system called Zensical that will compile your Markdown into HTML. You can use this reference to help you write posts and pages directly in our repository where the source documents for this wiki are held. See Contributing for more and check the Zensical docs on authoring for a more complete set of markdown notations you can use with Tree.
