- [Introducing Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/2004/03/introducing_markdown) by John Gruber - March 15, 2004
> I've written a text-to-HTML formatting tool called Markdown, which is now available for download.
> Markdown allows web writers to compose text using a simple, readable, plain text formatting syntax;
> Markdown takes care of translating it to valid XHTML (or, if you prefer, HTML).

> You don't need to "preview" an email before you send it -- you write it, you read it, you edit it, right there.
>
> In fact, I love writing email. Email is my favorite writing medium. I've sent over 16,000 emails in the last five years.
> The conventions of plain text email allow me to express myself clearly and precisely, without ever getting in my way.
>
> Thus, Markdown. Email-style writing for the web.
- [Markdown](http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/001189) by Aaron Swartz - March 22, 2004
> For months I've been working with John Gruber on a new project. The idea was to make writing simple web pages,
> and especially weblog entries, as easy as writing an email, by allowing you to use much the same syntax and converting it
> automatically into HTML.
>
> Together we pored over the syntax details from top to bottom, trying to develop the perfect format,
> and I think we've got something pretty darn great. We've tested it extensively: on our blogs, in my comments form, in our emails.
