Markdown was created by John Gruber in 2004 as a lightweight markup language designed to be readable in its raw form. GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) is the most popular extension, adding tables, task lists, strikethrough, and more. Good Markdown formatting practices include: blank lines before headings for semantic clarity, colon alignment in tables, language identifiers on code blocks, and spaces between CJK and Latin text. Tools like prettier and markdownlint can automate these checks in CI/CD pipelines.
