Markdown is an ubiquitous, lighweight markup language known to almost any engineer. If you don’t know Markdown, it’s easy to learn. Presidium uses a version of Markdown known as Github Flavoured Markdown and leverages this ‘common tongue’ to enable multiple contributors to create documentation quickly without wasting time doing point & click styling or having to alter HTML and CSS.
Style Guides
For any documentation project, a Markdown style guide ensures that contributors write documentation that is consistent with your intended tone and layout.
Flexibility
If you need more flexibility than Markdown offers, you can also use HTML separately or mixed with Markdown content in articles.
