language. For a detailed discussion and the syntax of markdown, see the
Markdown Wikipedia page.
Stata uses Flexmark's Pegdown emulation as its default Markdown document
processing engine. For information on Pegdown's flavor of Markdown, see
the Pegdown GitHub page.
See [P] dyndoc and [P] dyntext for a full description of Stata's dynamic
document-generation commands. markdown is used by dyndoc but may also be
used directly by programmers.
