Markdown notes
Markdown was designed by John Gruber in 2004 as a plain-text format that converts to HTML. It has since splintered into dozens of dialects.
Common dialects
- CommonMark is the strict spec most parsers target today
- GFM adds tables, task lists, and strikethrough
- MDX lets you embed JSX inside Markdown documents
“The single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown’s syntax is the format of plain text email.” (John Gruber, 2004)
import { markdownToHtml } from "satteri";
const { html } = markdownToHtml("# Hello, *world*");
| Dialect | Tables | Math |
|---|---|---|
| CommonMark | no | no |
| GFM | yes | no |
| MDX | yes | opt |
