31 | | - |
32 | | -<p class="lead">I'm a technical writer, and I've used a lot of writing tools over the course of my professional career. One of the most interesting tools I've encountered is Markdown.</p> |
33 | | - |
34 | | -<p class="lead">I've been using Markdown for years now and I recommend it to everyone I know. There are lots of reasons why you should learn to write using Markdown, but one of the best reasons is that it's better than the alternatives.</p> |
35 | | - |
36 | | -<p class="lead" style="padding-bottom: 10px">Learning Markdown means you can stop using all the subpar writing tools you've tolerated for years. <strong style="font-weight: 600">It can also further your career.</strong> Believe it or not, knowing how to write using Markdown is a requirement for many jobs.</p> |
37 | | - |
38 | | -<h3 class="no-anchor">Markdown is Everywhere</h3> |
39 | | - |
40 | | -<p class="lead">My litmus test for a successful writing tool is whether using it can become second nature. Does writing with it feel natural? Or do I feel like I'm constantly fighting against it? I stop using tools that hinder me. Time is valuable, and I don't have the luxury of indulging things that squander that precious resource.</p> |
41 | | - |
42 | | -<p class="lead">Markdown passes the test with flying colors. Writing using Markdown just <em>feels right</em>. Since its introduction in 2004, millions of people have starting using it to write everything from notes to documents. <strong style="font-weight: 600">It's one of the most successful markup languages of all time.</strong></p> |
43 | | - |
44 | | -<p class="lead" style="padding-bottom: 10px">Markdown has succeeded where other markup languages have failed because it strikes the right balance between power and simplicity. It's easy to learn and simple to use. Its tremendous success means it's ubiquitous enough to replace WYSIWYG editors on websites like Reddit and GitHub. But Markdown is also powerful enough to create documents, books, and technical documentation. Markdown is literally everywhere.</p> |
