Markdown is a texttoHTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easytoread, easytowrite plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

Thus, “Markdown” is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML.
