Today, we learned Markdown for code. Coupled with our new live preview feature in Ultra Edit v25.20, if you’re already writing Markdown documents, you’ll be able to enjoy a real-time preview of your rendered Markdown as you make them in your source file. Additionally, we’ve added a completely new syntax parser for Markdown, so you’ll get full, context-aware Markdown code highlighting support out of the box. No plugins to download and install, no config files to set up. It just works—and that’s the way it should be.
Those of you who are already familiar with Markdown will understand why this is so exciting. But there are others among you who have heard of Markdown but have never used it, or who haven’t heard of it at all! So, we wanted to talk about some of the reasons why Markdown is so great.
