# What is Hack MD?

> Best way to write and share your knowledge in Markdown

# What is Markdown?

> Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. Its design allows it to be converted to many output formats...most commonly for this class is HTML.

e.g. a way to turn almost plain text into nicely formatted HTML.

# How will we use this in class

We will use this notepad throughout the term to
* Ask & answer questions as a class
* Share code, links and examples
* Discuss & provide solutions to challenge questions

To keep our work secure to this class, you need a Hack.md account. I suggest using your campus email. There is a navigation pane (only seen in view mode) on the right to help find content.

## How to toggle views

Click the buttons in the top right to switch between editing and viewing :eyes: (or both!)

* In editing mode, on the left pane you see the Markdown code for this document.
* Different colors indicate different text formats.
* Multiple users can add text simultaneously (Like google docs)

## Your turn
Introduce yourself. Name, pronouns, hometown, and one emoji. [[Emojipedia]](https://emojipedia.org/)
