Markdown is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text.
It is used in ContactsLaw for notes (associated with contacts, matters, etc) as well as in document templates.
One of the principal reasons for using Markdown (as opposed to other representations, such as Rich Text Format or HTML) is that it separates markup (paragraphs, lists, headings, etc) from style (colours, fonts, etc). This means that the same content can be displayed in different ways without affecting its semantics. This is particularly useful in document production as the author of the template does not need to be aware of any business-specific branding or design and, indeed, these can be altered freely without affecting content specifications.
