# Markdown is awesome!

With Markdown you no longer have to mess around with ugly HTML code. Instead you create things like [links](http://postach.io) using a syntax that’s much easier to read. You can also do things like _italics_ and **bold** text.

## Headings are easy too!

With Markdown you can stop worrying about HTML markup and just focus on your writing.
