Markdown

Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. According to Brett Terpstra, it's also easy, fast, clean, portable, flexible, and a good fit for any workflow. I'll let you decide.

When you have a moment, review the basics and syntax of Markdown. In your text editor (e.g., Notepad++, TextWrangler, or Sublime), just be sure to save your file with the .md extension. As you write, you might find this cheatsheet, or this one, handy.

During our next meeting, we'll review how to apply revision control to your Markdown content and then push it to a shared repository (with access restricted to English 507 students). In the meantime, get in touch with questions!
