Convert DOC (Word) to TXT MARKDOWNMMD

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 MultiMarkdown Documentation (MMD), stored with a TXT file extension, is designed for text documents formatted in MultiMarkdown syntax. The MMD format streamlines the conversion of plain text into various formats such as HTML, PDF, and LaTeX, essential for professional documentation. Introduced in 2005 by Fletcher T. Penney, MMD enhances traditional Markdown by supporting additional features like tables, footnotes, and citations, optimizing documents for better readability and usability in diverse technical environments.
