A clear reference for learning Markdown syntax and web writing.

Markdown Guide is a web handbook for learning Markdown, from first steps through detailed syntax lookups. It covers core formatting, common extensions such as tables and fenced code blocks, plus cheat sheets, hacks, tools, a book, and open-source project links.

Why it stands out

  • Covers both original-style Markdown basics and widely used extended syntax in one place.
  • Useful for both beginners and experienced users because it pairs tutorials with quick-reference pages.
  • Open-source project with permissive reuse terms, making it more transparent than many one-off tutorials.
  • Includes practical extras such as hacks and tool references, not just syntax definitions.

Good to know

  • It is an instructional reference, not a built-in Markdown editor, previewer, or publishing workspace.
  • Extended Markdown features are not supported uniformly across every app, so examples should be checked against the renderer you plan to use.

Under the radar: When a Markdown app lacks a formatting feature, check the Hacks section for fallback approaches before assuming you need a different editor.
