What best describes Markdown?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax. It is designed to be easy to write and read in its raw form, and it can be converted into HTML and other formats. Markdown is commonly used for formatting readme files, writing messages in online discussion forums, and creating rich text documents.

Markup Language:

Option A is correct because Markdown is indeed a markup language. It is not a programming language, scripting language, version control system, or containerization solution.

Incorrect Options:

Option B is incorrect because Markdown is not a programming language; it does not involve control structures or variables.

Option C is incorrect because Markdown is not used for scripting or automation.

Option D is incorrect because Markdown does not manage version control.

Option E is incorrect because Markdown is not related to containerization technologies like Docker.

Containerization solution? Really? I thought Markdown was for writing documents, not packaging software. Someone's been watching too many tech talks.

Markdown is definitely not a version control system. That's just silly. Unless it's a secret feature I don't know about.

Hmm, I think Markdown might be a scripting language. Wait, no, that can't be right. What even is a scripting language?

I'm pretty sure Markdown is not a programming language. That's like saying HTML is a programming language.
