Markdown is a lightweight markup language that uses plain text formatting shorthand. It helps writers write structured content without using complex rich text editors.

1. Basic Markdown Syntax

Markdown uses simple indicators: # for H1 headings, ## for H2 subheadings, ** for bold text, and * for bulleted list entries.

2. Previewing Rendered HTML

Use the **Markdown Previewer** on our dashboard to type markdown shorthand and view rendered HTML previews in real-time.
