The Markdown card is used to render Markdown.
The renderer uses Marked.js, which supports several specifications of Markdown, including CommonMark, GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) and markdown.pl.

To add the Markdown card to your user interface, click the Lovelace menu (three dots at the top right of the screen) and then Edit Dashboard. Click the "Add Card" button in the bottom right corner and select Markdown from the card picker.

## Lovelace
Starting with Home Assistant 0.72, we're experimenting with a new way of defining your interface. We're calling it the **Lovelace UI**.
Template variables
A special template variable - config is set up for the content of the card. It contains the configuration of the card.
For example:
{% raw %}
type: entity-filter
entities:
- light.bed_light
- light.ceiling_lights
- light.kitchen_lights
state_filter:
- 'on'
card:
type: markdown
content: |
The lights that are on are:
{% for l in config.entities %}
- {{ l.entity }}
{%- endfor %}
And the door is {% if is_state('binary_sensor.door', 'on') %} open {% else %} closed {% endif %}.
{% endraw %}
A special template variable - user is set up for the content of the card. It contains the currently logged in user.
For example:
{% raw %}
type: markdown
content: |
Hello, {{user}}
{% endraw %}
Icons
You can also use materialdesignicons.com icons in the content of the card.
For example:
{% raw %}
type: markdown
content: |
<ha-icon icon="mdi:home-assistant" />
{% endraw %}
