Markdown

GitBook is backed by Markdown, so existing Markdown files paste straight into the editor. See the supported syntax and how imports work.

GitBook supports many different types of content, and is backed by Markdown — meaning you can copy and paste any existing Markdown files directly into the editor!

Feel free to test it out and copy the Markdown below by hovering over the code block in the upper right, and pasting into a new line underneath.
