It is eventually encoded into the DOM possibly via HTML or possibly through direct node creation but it’s more accurate to say it’s markdown.

Markdown, never heard the term, the m in html is markup I thought, it’s been years since I did any web design. 2006 I think is when I studied it, so I used notepad, and Dreamweaver was still owned by macro media haha

Markdown and HTML are indeed both markup languages, markdown is one that was designed to align with a lot of internet text habits that emerged organically like using *s to create lists and ascii tables.
