What is Markdown?
Markdown is a plain text formatting syntax used for writing for the internet easier. As we know everywhere the coding tags are clustering the documents, it is the markdown that improves the readability in the form of a plain text document. Although, it's been a plain text document it is possible to add text modifiers such as bold, italics, headings, and many more. It serves as an alternative to WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors, which use rich text that is later translated to proper HTML. You might not be familiar with but Facebook, Skype, and Reddit use different forms of Markdown for their message formatting. Here is the quick cheat sheet for the markdown syntax elements that cover the revert edge case.
