<h2 id="markup-markdown">Markup / Markdown</h2>
<h1 id="markup-markdown">Markup / Markdown</h1>
<p>Markup languages are one of the most pervasive and common types of language on the Internet. In fact HTML is a type of markup language responsible to instruct our web browsers on how to layout text, images and the likes on our screens. Behind all web pages, there is a markup text file that is sent from a server to our browsers when we type in a URL. The beauty of markup languages is that they are both <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human-readable_medium">human-readable</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-readable_data">machine-readable</a> and written in plain text format. Reading a marked up text one can notice the special &quot;meta-codes&quot; and related syntax that direct machines in interpreting the same text. The idea is thus to have some standards and conventions describing these meta-codes and expected machine interpretation.</p>

<p>In this lesson we will introduce the Markdown language for writing (academic) texts. Markdown is a type of markup language that features very intuitive set of meta-codes and a simple syntax that can seamlessly integrate with normal text without transforming them much.</p>
