Convert STW to MDOWN

The STW file extension stands for StarOffice Document Template. Developed by Sun Microsystems (later acquired by Oracle Corporation), it was used in the StarOffice suite to create document templates with consistent layouts and formatting. These templates facilitated uniformity across various documents like letters and reports. With the advent of Apache OpenOffice, the ODT (OpenDocument Text) format replaced STW, but STW files remain compatible with older versions of StarOffice and OpenOffice.

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.
