Hello Friends,

1) What is Markdown?
2)How to work with markdown in Visual studio code?
3) Who is using Markdown?
4) how to create a markdown file and how to see a preview in visual studio code.
===========================================================
- What is Markdown?
Markdown is a lightweight markup language that you can use to add formatting elements to plaintext documents.
- We need to simply write plaintext in a text file by using some symbols and the file will be saved as .md extension.
- Markdown applications use something called a Markdown processor (also commonly referred to as a "parser" or an "implementation") to take the Markdown-formatted text and output it to HTML format.
At that point, your document can be viewed in a web browser or combined with a style sheet and printed.

VS Code supports Markdown files out of the box. You just start writing Markdown text, save the file with the .md extension, and then you can toggle the visualization of the editor between the code and the preview.

- Who is using it?
Markdown is everywhere. Websites like Reddit and GitHub support Markdown and lots of desktop and web-based applications support it.

Let's write some markdown text in VS Code Editor- ( demo )

Important points to learn:
- Switching between code and preview shortcut key: (ctrl + Shift + V)
- Dynamic preview of Markdown file.
- currently selected line in the editor is indicated in the Markdown preview by a light gray bar in the left margin.
- Outline view#
The Outline view is a separate section in the bottom of the File Explorer. When expanded, it will show the symbol tree of the currently active editor.
