About

Markdown is a special plain text formatting language that is extremely popular among developers. It is used in documents, research articles, Github README files, and other things. In this project, you will write an editor that will be able to recognize several tags, structures, and save your results to a file. You will practice concepts frequently tested in technical interviews at top tech companies.

It's a easy project, at the same time there are a lot of topics: fonctions, loops, string composition and file management. I think it could be one of the first for beginners.

I learned more about functional decomposition and creating modular programs. Testing and validating user input and formatting text using the terminal!
