Markdown may be a mystery to most of you, it was to me at
first. My background is in HTML, I am a web developer working mostly with WordPress
and various other content management applications. There are many guides for
writing markdown which are easy to follow and provide good information to get
you started, however, if you want to get a head start and produce formatted
content right off the bat there are a few markdown converters out there that
can make it easy for you. These tools may not be perfect, but they should provide you a great place to start and show you the basics of creating well formatted content with mark down.
Mark it Down - http://markitdown.medusis.com
This site allows you to create your document in a regular rich
text editor such as Apple’s pages or Microsoft Word. You then copy that text
with its formatting into the top text box and press the button “convert to
markdown” to get the mark down formatted equivalent
To-Markdown - https://domchristie.github.io/to-markdown/
If you, like me, are accustomed to formatting with HTML,
then you may find it easier to use To-Markdown. With this conversion tool you
can create your document with HTML then paste that code into the conversion
tool which in turn will output markdown formatted text.
