On Windows 11, the Notepad app now includes native support for Markdown (.md) files, making it easier to review formatted text as well as the ability to create text files using the markup language without installing extra tools. This integration is available in the latest update of the note-taking app, offering a built-in Markdown rendering experience similar to modern text editors.
Markdown isn't new. It's been available for a long time, and it's a lightweight markup language that you can use to add formatting elements to plaintext documents, including headings, lists, bold, italic, links, and more.
