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 preserves document structure with text, formatting, and layout information

No compression—larger files than XLSX. Maximum 65,536 rows and 256 columns per sheet. Gradually replaced by XLSX since Office 2007 but widely compatible with older systems.
