-  Markdown provides a straightforward way to create articles and documentation in a form where the underlying text is easily readable, while also facilitating the generation of various other formats. This includes \TeX, HTML, docx, and PDF (via \TeX) files. This article and the associated code describe a template which can be used to write articles in Markdown and use the pandoc software to convert the markdown text into an \aastex-compatible tex file for submission to the AAS Journals. The advantage of this approach is ease of readability for the source files and flexibility in output formats.

 The Markdown specification was released by John Gruber in 2004^[<https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/>].
 Markdown was originally intended to specify a plain text format which could be converted to `html` but in which the source could easily be read.
