The Markdown language

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that you can use to add formatting elements to plaintext text documents. Created by John Gruber in 2004, Markdown is now one of the world’s most popular markup languages.

Editing with markdown output

The CKEditor 5 WYSIWYG editor lets the user utilize this flexible yet simple markup language, in the GitHub flavor. The output covers the most important features, like links, different kinds of emphasis, the inline code formatting or the code blocks:


	p {
		text-align: center;
		color: red;
	  }

Headings are supported, too!

Try it yourself, add elements and see the Markdown output below.
