Markdown is a lightweight plain-text markup language created by John Gruber that uses simple syntax (like asterisks for bold or pound signs for headers) to format text, which is then converted to HTML or other formats. It is widely used by developers and writers for README files, documentation, blog posts, and note-taking due to its readability and simplicity.
