Markdown
A lightweight text formatting language that uses simple syntax (# for headings, ** for bold) to structure documents. Used by Signbee to create contracts without a visual editor.
Markdown is the native language of developers and AI agents. Instead of building documents in a visual template editor, you write contracts as plain text with formatting syntax.
This makes document creation fully programmatic — AI agents can generate markdown contracts on the fly, and developers can template contracts using string interpolation in any programming language.
Signbee converts markdown to professionally rendered PDFs automatically.
