Markdown

Last week while I sat in a Udi Dahans distributed systems design course, taking notes on my laptop. I was told about this tool called markdown. It allows you to include some basic format specifiers in your text file so that it can later be converted to html using something like rdiscount.

Syntax Documentation

TODO::

• discuss how this relates to jekyll and why you would want to convert text to html.
• installation ?
• vim syntax files
