Markdown and HTML compared
| Markdown | HTML | |
|---|---|---|
| Full name | Markdown | HyperText Markup Language |
| Extension | .md, .markdown | .html, .htm |
| MIME type | text/markdown | text/html |
Markdown: Plain text that reads as text and renders as formatted output. The default for READMEs, documentation and static sites, because it stays diffable in version control.
HTML: The web's document format. Converting to it is straightforward; converting out of it means deciding what to do with styling, scripts and layout that have no equivalent in the target.
