Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML). Thus, “Markdown” is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML. See the Syntax page for details pertaining to Markdown’s formatting syntax. You can try it out, right now, using the online Dingus. The overriding design goal for Markdown’s formatting syntax is to make it as readable as possible. The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While Markdown’s syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML filters, the single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown’s syntax is the format of plain text email.

Mermaid is an AI-powered diagramming and visual collaboration platform that enables users to create flowcharts, system architecture diagrams, timelines, and other visualizations using natural language, code, or a graphical editor. The software transforms text prompts, uploaded documents, meeting transcripts, and code snippets into editable diagrams. Its AI assistant supports conversational diagram generation, diagram modifications, and recommendations for selecting appropriate visualization types. Users can create sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, entity relationship diagrams, mind maps, organizational charts, and other technical or business visualizations using Mermaid syntax. The platform provides real-time collaboration, shared workspaces, visual editing tools, diagram presentations, and integrations with developer and productivity applications. Mermaid also supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, version-controlled diagrams, single sign-on, and more.

HTML, short for HyperText Markup Language, is the markup language that is used by every website on the internet. HTML is code that websites use to build and structure every part of their website and web pages. HTML5 is a markup language used for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. It is the fifth and final major HTML version that is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation. The current specification is known as the HTML Living Standard. It is maintained by the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), a consortium of the major browser vendors (Apple, Google, Mozilla, and Microsoft). HTML5 includes detailed processing models to encourage more interoperable implementations; it extends, improves, and rationalizes the markup available for documents and introduces markup and application programming interfaces (APIs) for complex web applications. For the same reasons, HTML5 is also a candidate for cross-platform mobile applications.
