Start coding free →Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004 for writing formatted text with plain-text syntax. It uses asterisks for bold, underscores for italic, and hashes for headings, and it renders cleanly to HTML. It is the standard format for README files, documentation, and blog posts, and RunCode workspaces support Markdown editing and preview through VS Code in the browser.
Open a Markdown workspace →Markdown syntax is plain text with a few conventions: asterisks around a word make it bold, underscores make it italic, and a hash at the start of a line makes it a heading. Tools convert that plain text to HTML. Markdown is supported by text editors, blogging platforms, GitHub, GitLab, and most content management systems.
