I Love Markdown and you should too!

As a blogger on occasion (its been too long since my last post), I have to write up my posts. Having to think about formatting, spacing, italics, bold, quotes and all that I personally find will break up my flow when drafting. Luckily, there’s a free standard called Markdown that allows me to keep writing and have the formatting happen without a second thought.

I made a video below that feel does a great job demoing how useful markdown can be. I show the basic formatting, but if you want more information, this is a great syntax guide. I can’t recommend enough switching over to using markdown instead of rich editors for your work, once you do you’ll never go back.

I sped up some typing and scrolling in the video for easier viewing. Don’t worry text prompts don’t normally blink that much!
