Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor.
It is recommended to use a tool such as Visual Studio Code [Link] with the extension Auto-Open Markdown Preview [Link] or at least one online editor like StackEdit [Link].
GitHub has its own flavor of markdown with few extra features.
