What is Markdown?

Markdown was created by John Gruber in 2004 with strong influence from Aaron Schwartz. Markdown goal? To be a lightweight markup language that was easily readable AND easily converted to HTML!

Why VimNotion is Built on Markdown

There are many popular text editors/note takers like Notion, Obsidian, and Inkdrop that embarace Markdown format! Rather than click buttons on navbars or right click for menu options, ***you can create headers, bullets, links or bold, italic, underline
text*** directly in your text with Markdown syntax.
VimNotion is all about flow, so keeping your hands on your keyboard with the ability to move at the speed of your thoughts is what it"s all about.

Markdown Basics

This is the base text. 

Two newlines (enter keys) to start a new line. One newline will just continue your paragraph,
so for example, this sentence will still be just one line.
