Joost De Cock b34a2ee2ed feat: Flat import of markdown repo
This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content
from our markdown module.

We've imported this without history because the repo contains our
blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi.

Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo
to import the full history.

Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo
at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown

Rayon

I use rayon for my underwear

Rayon, sometimes referred to as viscose, is a synthetic fiber. It originates from wood pulp, but there's a lot of chemical hoops to jump through before it becomes fabric.

As rayon is a fiber (like cotton is) the resulting fabric will depend on how it is woven. However, in general rayon is a versatile fabric that is smooth to the touch, drapes, and is somewhat slippery.

Rayon is not a good insulator of body heat. That makes it a poor choice for a winter coat, but a good choice for your summer dresses or underwear.

Wikipedia has a lot to say about rayon: Rayon on Wikipedia
