Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes you write notes, like reminders for yourself or maybe you share some information with others? Well, imagine you want to do this on a computer or phone, how do you do it so that it's easy, simple and looks nice?
That's where the lightweight markup language comes in. It's like a secret code that makes it easy to write notes and other text in a way that the computer or phone can easily understand and make it look nice.
Let's say you want to write something in bold letters. Instead of using the mouse to highlight the text and click on a button to make it bold, with the markup language you simply put two asterisks before and after the word or phrase, like this: **bold**. When you type it, you see that it looks bold, just like that!
And that's not all, you can also make text look italic, highlighted, underlined, or even create headings and bullet points. All with these simple codes that just add a few characters to your text.
The best part about the lightweight markup language is that it's easy to learn and use. You don't need to be a computer expert, you just need to remember a few simple codes and you can write beautiful notes or documents.
So, that's it kiddo, the lightweight markup language is like a secret code that helps you write beautiful notes and other text easily and quickly.
