Markdown is a lightweight and human readable markup format for text formatting created by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz. It is similar to various forms of wiki markup.
There is no formal specification for Markdown, and it has ambiguities that are handled inconsistently by different implementations. There is an initiative[1] to write such a specification.
