Convert DOT to MD GFM

The DOT file extension stands for Microsoft Word Document Template. It is utilized to create standardized document formats with predefined settings such as fonts, layouts, and styles, facilitating uniformity and efficiency. Introduced with older versions of Microsoft Word, DOT files enable users to generate consistent documents across different projects, minimizing the need for repetitive formatting tasks. This legacy format was vital in establishing automated document creation processes before the evolution to newer template formats like DOTX.

Markdown (MD) is a lightweight markup language with a file extension MD, commonly used for formatting readme files, documentation, and comments in GitHub repositories. GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) extends the original Markdown's capabilities, adding features like tables, task lists, and auto-linking URLs. Markdown's simplicity and effectiveness in creating formatted text using a plain text editor made it widely adopted in the developer community. GFM, in particular, is optimized for use on GitHub, enhancing collaboration and code documentation.
