What is a Markdown File?
A Markdown file is a plain text file that contains content written in Markdown syntax. These files are saved with extensions like .md or .markdown.
Markdown files are human-readable, meaning you can open and read them in any text editor. However, when viewed in a Markdown-compatible application or converted to HTML, the formatting is rendered visually.
