Markdown Cheatsheet
Wikipedia
Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor.
Introducing Markdown was published by John Gruber in 2004 as a markup language that is easier to read in its source code form. It is widely used for blogging, instant messaging, online forums, collaborative software, documentation pages, and readme files.
The initial description in Introducing Markdown contained ambiguities which were eventually addressed in 2014 by CommonMark, specification and test suite.
