# A quick reference to  Markdown

In this article, you will learn to write a basic markdown file, most of the times you can find a readme.md file which contains basic information of the files in the repository. Markdown is a scripting language used to format plain text to a respective design. Popular repository providers like Github and bitbucket use readme.md for providing description about the repository.

I am going to explain about the syntax of the markdown so that you will have a better understanding of the markdown script
