Convert DOC to MD
What is DOC?
DOC
DOC is Microsoft Word's legacy binary format using OLE compound document structure. Stores text with complex formatting, styles, embedded objects, and macros. Less efficient than DOCX—no ZIP compression, larger file sizes. Maximum practical size around 32MB. Widely compatible but gradually replaced by DOCX since Office 2007. Supports rich formatting, tables, images, and document metadata.
- DOC stores editable documents with text, formatting, and embedded content
What is MD?
MD
Markdown is a lightweight markup language using plain text with simple syntax for formatting. Created by John Gruber in 2004. Uses characters like # (headers), ** (bold), * (lists) for structure. Human-readable in plain text form. Converts easily to HTML, PDF, or DOCX. Multiple flavors exist (CommonMark, GitHub Flavored, MultiMarkdown). Extremely portable and version-control friendly. Maximum size limited by text editor.
- MD stores editable documents with text, formatting, and embedded content
