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. 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.
