Use Markdown

Markdown is so easy to use, use it and consider extending your Markdown toolchain with:

• Markdown preview tool (like MarkdownD or online like: http://markdownlivepreview.com/)
• Use Markdown converters for other formats (like pod2markdown if you are a Perl developer)
• Enable Markdownlint in your favorite editor or use one of the available cli tools like: markdownlint (markdownlint-cli written in Javascript) or mdl (Ruby implementation)
• Added a Markdown configuration to your EditorConfig configuration
