Convert DOC (Word) to MKD

The DOC file extension, standing for "Microsoft Word Document", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Word. Introduced in the early 1980s with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, it became the standard format for saving documents until the adoption of the DOCX format with Microsoft Word 2007. DOC files encapsulate text, formatting, images, and other document elements, and were pivotal in advancing word processing capabilities, offering extensive features for creating professional and complex documents in both personal and professional contexts. Despite the shift to DOCX, DOC files remain significant for their compatibility with older software versions and extensive archival of legacy documents.

The MKD file extension stands for Markdown Documentation and is used primarily for creating formatted text using plain text. Originating in 2004 by John Gruber, Markdown offers a simple way to write documentation that is easy to read in plain text and can be converted to HTML for web presentation. Its simplicity and readability have made it a popular choice for software documentation, technical writing, and even blogging. The MKD extension supports various formatting options, including headings, lists, links, and code blocks, making them versatile tools in the IT industry.
