Launched in 2004, Markdown is an alternative to WYSIWYG editors, a simple tool to use with raw text, formatting it with special markers and then using the Perl library to convert it to standards-compliant HTML.

The way Markdown works is to take the text and look for various triggers and markers which are automatically converted (along with their associated content) to an HTML tag.

The outputted HTML block will be used to present the text on the frontend, styled and looking pretty, while the Markdown syntax keeps the original text free of any complex HTML code that may make it hard to read.

This incredibly simple and widely used text formatting syntax originated from this Perl library, the un-official standard for the whole syntax.

The Markdown Perl library is also compatible with Movable Type, Blosxom, and BBEdit.

Requirements:

  • Perl 5.6 or higher
