Markdown is a way of writing rich-text (formatted text) content using plain text formatting syntax. It is also a tool that converts the plain text formatting to HTML.
- 2004: John Gruber developed Markdown.
- 2014: CommonMark was established as a standard specification for Markdown to resolve inconsistencies and ambiguities in Markdown implementations. This initiative was spearheaded by John MacFarlane and backed by other Markdown enthusiasts to ensure a reliable and consistent specification.
This guide will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the key commands in GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), it is a strict superset of CommonMark. You can read the full article, The Ultimate Markdown Cheat Sheet on Medium.
