# Markdown

## What's Markdown?

As programmers we often have to document our repositories and apps. In order to do so in a pleasant and readable fashion, we have some tools available. One of them is Markdown.&#x20;

Markdown is a markup language (like HTML). One place that you will get to use Markdown is on source-control platforms like Github. It is a good practice to document your repository by adding a README.md-file.

To get started with markdown, have a look at the following website: <https://www.markdownguide.org/>.&#x20;
