Format Details
DOC
DOC is the legacy binary file format used by Microsoft Word for the Office 97-2003 era. It stores document content, formatting, images, and metadata in a proprietary binary structure. Although superseded by the modern XML-based DOCX format, DOC remains common in older archives and is supported for import by virtually all modern word processors and office suites.
Markdown
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.
