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.

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

I have learned:- markdown format,- handling classes,- handling files.One silly difficulty. In stage 1 I made mistake in the text ("live" instead of "life") and I spend one hour looking for the clue... :-)
