Argdown is a simple syntax for analyzing complex argumentation.

  • Listing pros & cons in Argdown is as simple as writing a twitter message. You don't have to learn anything new, except a few simple rules that will feel very natural.
  • With these simple rules you will be able to define more complex relations between arguments or dive into the details of their logical premise-conclusion structures.
  • Argdown can even be used within Markdown! Your code is transformed into an argument map while you are typing. When your are ready, you can publish your analysis as pdf, embed it as a web-component in a webpage or simply export your map as an image.

Start with the docs or try it out in the Browser Sandbox.

If you want to start working right away, you should install the Argdown VS Code extension.
