The MDOWN file extension stands for "Markdown Documentation". It is used for files written in Markdown, a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax designed by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz in 2004. MDOWN files are commonly employed in software development to create readable and editable documentation, leveraging Markdown's simplicity for formatting text, lists, code blocks, and links. The historical significance of MDOWN lies in its facilitation of seamless documentation, enhancing clarity and accessibility across various platforms while remaining developer-friendly.
The Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) XML file extension is pivotal in digital publishing. XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. JATS, an NISO standard, was designed to tag and structure the content of scholarly articles. Initially derived from NLM (National Library of Medicine) DTDs in the early 2000s, JATS ensures consistent formatting and metadata tagging for articles, facilitating efficient indexing, searchability, and interoperability across various databases and platforms. Its use in the academic and scientific community supports robust archiving and seamless dissemination of knowledge.
