Before Starting, Let understand what is Markup?

What is Markdown?

Back In 2004 John Gruber and Aaron created Markdown. It is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor. A markup language that is appealing to human readers in its source code form.

Note: The extension of the Markdown file is .md
