Convert TXT MARKDOWN to RTF

Markdown Documentation files, often stored with a TXT extension, are utilized for writing plain-text formatted documents that are easy to read and convert to HTML. Originating in 2004 by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz, Markdown's intent was to create a simple syntax for writing web-based documents. It is widely adopted in software development, documentation, and content management systems due to its readability and ease of use. These files facilitate collaborative work and version control, making them indispensable in modern IT workflows.

RTF, short for Rich Text Format, is a document file format developed by Microsoft in 1987. It allows users to transfer formatted text and images between different word processors and platforms, ensuring consistency in document appearance. RTF supports basic text formatting, such as bold, italics, and various font types, making it a versatile choice for simple document exchange. Its historical significance lies in its widespread adoption for cross-platform document sharing before the advent of more complex formats like DOCX and PDF. RTF remains relevant for applications that require straightforward, platform-independent text formatting.
