Dawid Bednarski: The History of Markdown: A Prelude to the No-Code Movement. (Blog) Taskade.com, 25. März 2022, abgerufen am 31. Juli 2023 (englisch): „Swartz’s atx syntax was based on TeX encoding, reST syntax, as well as plain-text email conventions. He redefined formatting rules, including the use of lists, links, and H1-H6 headings that were now set off by a corresponding number of ‘#’ characters. At some point, Gruber and Swartz communicated and the latter became Markdown’s ‘sole beta-tester.’ Swartz provided feedback on the syntax and even wrote html2text, a free conversion tool for turning HTML into Markdown.“
