Markdown
Markdown is plain text with a light convention for headings, emphasis, lists and links. Because it stays readable unrendered, it has become the default for READMEs, documentation, notes apps and static site content.

Opening a .md file
If you landed here because something handed you a .md file and
nothing on your machine will open it, converting it to a format you already have a
reader for is usually faster than installing new software. Every conversion above runs
in this browser — the file is not uploaded, so it works on a locked-down work machine
and on a file you are not allowed to send anywhere.
