Introduction What is Semantic Markdown? Semantic Markdown is a plain-text format for writing documents that embed machine-readable data. The documents are easy to author and both human and machine-readable, so that the structured data contained within these documents is available to tools and applications. Technically speaking, Semantic Markdown is "RDFa Lite for Markdown"
