Text markup

Text markup refers to adding specific codes or tags to a document to indicate how the text should appear or function, such as bolding, italicizing, or creating links. These tags aren’t visible in the final reading view but tell the computer or browser how to display or interpret the content. Common examples include HTML for web pages and Markdown for simpler formatting. Markup helps organize, style, and structure text consistently, making documents more readable and accessible across different devices and platforms.
