Frequently Asked Questions
What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004. It lets you write formatted text using plain ASCII characters that are readable even without rendering. Wrapping text in **double asterisks** makes it bold, and starting a line with # creates a heading. Markdown is widely used for GitHub README files, technical documentation, blog posts, and many content management systems.
How do I write headings in Markdown?
Use the # symbol before a line to create headings. One # creates an h1, two ## creates an h2, and so on up to six levels. Always put a space between the hash and your heading text — ## Getting Started becomes a rendered h2. Markdown headings are quick to type and visually clear even in raw source form.
How do I add links and images in Markdown?
Links use the format [link text](URL) — for example, [Rajesh R Nair](https://rajeshrnair.com) creates a clickable anchor. Images use the same syntax with an exclamation mark prefix: . You can add a title attribute in quotes after the URL: [text](url "Title"). Both render correctly when converted by this tool.
