Convert MKD to GIF

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.

The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. It is widely used for its support of animated images, allowing for the compression of graphics with low file sizes and without compromising quality. It's particularly popular on the internet for memes, short animations, and simple graphics due to its ability to loop animations seamlessly. GIFs support up to 256 colors and use the LZW compression algorithm to minimize file size. The format's historical significance lies in its ability to efficiently store and transmit images in an era of slower internet speeds and remains a staple in digital communication and web design today.
