# Markdown

[demos](../../demos/markdown/index.md) | [workflow](../workflows/markdown.md) | [js](edit://src/components/widgets/lively-markdown.js) | [html](edit://src/components/widgets/lively-markdown.html) |  [open](open://lively-markdown)

We use markdown syntax for documentation and other writing purpose in Lively4. 
The  [markdown component](open://lively-markdown) will render markdown contents. The [container](../tools/container.md) can browse and edit markdown files.
