Docs as Code
Docs as Code means applying software development processes and tools to documentation you create. Teams write content in plain text with Markdown using text editor. Then content is transformed to documentation page using a static site generator rather than a publishing system.
Markdown
Markdown is a plain text formatting syntax aimed at making writing for the Internet easier. The philosophy behind Markdown is that plain text documents should be readable without tags mussing everything up, but there should still be ways to add text modifiers like lists, bold, italics, etc. It is an alternative to WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editors, which use rich text that later gets converted to proper HTML.
