Convert TXT MARKDOWN to TEI

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.

The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), established in 1987, is a standard for encoding machine-readable texts in the humanities and social sciences. TEI files, typically XML-based, are used to represent complex textual data, ensuring interoperability and preservation. The initiative aims to provide a comprehensive framework for text encoding, widely adopted by academic projects, libraries, and digital archives.
