Where Markdown is used
Markdown is the lingua franca for technical writing in 2026. README files on GitHub, documentation on most static site generators, notes in Obsidian/Notion/Bear, comments on Reddit and Discord — they all speak some flavor of Markdown.
This editor uses a minimal CommonMark-compatible subset. For more advanced features (tables, footnotes, task lists), most platforms support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) which extends the basics.
