What is Markdown and Why Convert to HTML?
Created in 2004 by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz, Markdown is a lightweight markup language designed to be readable and editable in plain text form, while retaining the capability to compile into valid HTML.
Developers, content writers, and documentation teams write in Markdown because of its minimal punctuation overhead. However, web browsers only render HTML. Using the EcrioX Markdown to HTML compiler allows you to draft articles comfortably and export production-ready markup ready for websites, blogs, and documentation engines.
