# Switching to Markdown
*Written 2022-07-12 23:59*

Sphinx supports Markdown through `myst-parser` as documented in
[https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/markdown.html](https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/markdown.html).
This is nice because most of the time I am writing Markdown especially on
GitLab, I don't have a hard dependency on RestructuredText itself meaning I can
safely just make the switch.
