Markdown vs Boost: What are the differences?

Developers describe Markdown as "Text-to-HTML conversion tool/syntax for web writers, by John Gruber". Markdown is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML. On the other hand, Boost is detailed as "Provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries". It is a set of libraries for the C++ programming language that provide support for tasks and structures such as linear algebra, pseudorandom number generation, multithreading, image processing, regular expressions, and unit testing.

Markdown and Boost belong to "Languages" category of the tech stack.

Boost is an open source tool with 2.96K GitHub stars and 882 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Boost's open source repository on GitHub.
