Format Details
AsciiDoc
AsciiDoc is a lightweight text-based markup language designed for authoring technical documentation, books, articles, and presentations in plain text files. It provides a richer feature set than Markdown, including built-in support for tables, cross-references, document includes, and complex layouts. AsciiDoc is widely used by technical publishers and open-source projects, and can be converted to HTML, PDF, EPUB, and DocBook.
documentMarkdown
Markdown is a lightweight plain-text markup language created by John Gruber in 2004 to make writing formatted content for the web as easy as possible. It uses minimal punctuation-based syntax to define headings, emphasis, links, images, lists, and code blocks that convert cleanly to HTML. Markdown is the dominant format for README files, software documentation, technical blogs, and static site generators across the entire software industry.
documentConverting ADOC to MD: what actually changes
AsciiDoc to Markdown is one of the conversions this site performs, but the two formats are not interchangeable containers. Here is what the file keeps, what it loses, and how to get a result you can use.
What .ADOC and .MD each hold
.ADOC is a document format built for reading, printing or circulating a document, storing text, layout, fonts and images. .MD is a document format built for reading, printing or circulating a document, storing text, layout, fonts and images. Converting between them is a decision about which of those two jobs the result needs to do.
What changes in the conversion
Both files belong to the document category, so this is a like-for-like repackage: the same kind of content, stored in a different container. What changes is how .MD encodes text, layout, fonts and images — not what the file is about.
When this conversion is the right one
Reach for .MD when the software, device or platform you are sending to expects it — the content is the same document, only the packaging differs. The reverse direction works the same way, so you can always convert back from .MD to .ADOC using the same tool.
Tips for a clean ADOC to MD conversion
Start from the original file
Convert the .ADOC you started with, not an earlier .MD output. Every extra round trip costs quality and can accumulate formatting drift.
Check the real type, not the extension
Text/asciidoc becomes text/markdown. If a file was renamed rather than converted, it will fail to open — rename it back to its true extension before uploading and the conversion will recognise it.
Keep the output next to the original
Save the .MD file alongside the source rather than replacing it. Having both means you can try a different target later without hunting down the original again.
Limits worth knowing
Uploads are capped per file (30 MB, or 100 MB for video) and processed temporarily — nothing is kept as a permanent copy. For huge document files, split or compress the source first.
