Markdown is a markup language for text documents. It lets you focus on the writing. Markdown is nice because programmers don't have to think about the design of the document (which they usually do a bad job at). [[GitHub]] makes it easy to publish pretty documents using Markdown. Over time, this made programmers look more professional (whether they knew it or not). These days, you have to try really hard to make things look bad. # Heading ranks [Heading ranks](https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/page-structure/headings/) are important to understand when writing Markdown (and HTML for that matter). Think of headings as a hierarchical system. Nest headings by their rank (or level). Please don't [abuse bold to create headings](https://practicaltypography.com/bold-or-italic.html). > Use bold and italic as little as possible. They are tools for emphasis. But if everything is emphasized, then nothing is emphasized. # How to create a link Use [Marklink](https://github.com/staticaland/marklink) or one of the alternatives. One kitten is saved every time you avoid reacing for `[]()` on a keyboard. ``` [VG](https://vg.no) ``` [VG](https://vg.no)!
