    Hi,
    Having a bit of a nightmare with documentation - we are using Mark Down :mad:

    Using Atom to write the documents and the Atom preview is really nice, but might not look the best in a browser or PDF view.

    Is there any way to "format for all" ?

    I know it's unlikely since it's not standardized but thought I'd ask.

    Thanks

    Markdown is essentially just a simple way of writing HTML. The headers, bullets etc. are just translated to HTML tags like <h1> and <ul>. If you want to view it in a browser/PDF and have it nicely formatted, you'll need to add CSS in there somewhere, something that Markdown doesn't do by default.

    Here's an example of the CSS github use: https://github.com/sindresorhus/github-markdown-css
