Markdown Web Part Overview
The Markdown Web Part provides additional functionality for publishing News and information to a SharePoint site. Although features may be limited, this web part provides a light-weight method for authors familiar with the markdown language.
Some authors may be familiar with the markdown language from using other applications with plain text editors that support this markdown format.
The use cases and experiences may vary from past use of README.txt files, online discussion forums, and simple formatting within plain text editors.
