Pre-reading: Markdown

Overview
Markup is specifically used to label parts of the document for what they are, rather than how they should be processed.
Markdown
The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. […] To this end, Markdown’s syntax is comprised entirely of punctuation characters, which punctuation characters have been carefully chosen so as to look like what they mean. E.g., asterisks around a word actually look like *emphasis*.
