Video description
Markdown is the easiest way to create web (HTML) content, and
can be used to generate PDFs, Word and other documents with all the
flexibility of CSS styling. The syntax is easy to learn and the
various flavors of Markdown extend it to a point where it's
adaptible enough to handle most needs. Working in plain text means
creating future-proof documents that can shift with the changing
tides of content creation tools and presentation formats. It's an
ideal means of content creation for everyone from web professionals
to office workers, and from casual bloggers to authors of long-form
works. This course begins by explaining the basic syntax of
Markdown, as defined by John Gruber and goes on to explore other
versions of Markdown, including MultiMarkdown, GitHub Flavored
Markdown, Kramdown and others. It finishes by showing how to turn
your Markdown into web content and polished documents.
