markdown language or markup language?

[Bubble99]

What do programmers use markdown language or markup language for?

And can you use markdown language or markup language for say note taking and making web sites?

Not really programmers specifically that use it. Markdown is just a fast way to create formatted text. for example.

Online Markdown Editor - Dillinger, the Last Markdown Editor ever.

Dillinger is an online cloud based HTML5 filled Markdown Editor. Sync with Dropbox, Github, Google Drive or OneDrive. Convert HTML to Markdown. 100% Open Source!

When I am building a site I will add a markdown editor to create content on the site.

Also, many CMSs (and code repository hosting services) support Markdown these days. I also use it for notetaking.
