title: Markdown vs markup - are they related?
body: <p>I'm using markdown to edit this question right now. In some <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page#Wiki_markup" rel="noreferrer">wikis</a> I used wiki markup. Are they the same thing? Are they related? Please explain. If I want to implement one or the other in a web project (like stackoverflow) what do I need to use?</p>
