What is Markdown?

**Markdown** is a lightweight markup language that allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format. It was created by John Gruber in 2004. Unlike HTML, which is heavy with tags like `<p>` and `<div>`, Markdown uses simple symbols like `#` for headings and `*` for lists.

Why Convert Markdown to HTML?

Web Publishing: Most CMS platforms (WordPress, Ghost) and static site generators (Jekyll, Hugo) prefer Markdown for writing but ultimately render HTML for the browser.
Email Marketing: Writing emails in HTML is painful. Markdown allows you to draft quickly and convert to clean HTML for newsletters.
Documentation: Platforms like GitHub (ReadMe.md) use Markdown exclusively for documentation. Converting it to HTML allows you to host that documentation on your own website.
