GitHub supports a number of lightweight markup languages (see GitHub Markup).

• Markdown

Note that after rendering, GitHub performs aggressive sanitization on the resulting HTML, including removal of script tags, style attributes, class attributes, etc. See the GitHub Markup repository for more information.
