Convert WRI to MDOWN

The WRI file extension stands for Microsoft Write Document, a text document format created using Microsoft Write, a basic word processor included in early versions of Windows (Windows 1.0 to Windows NT 3.51). WRI files typically contain styled text and page formatting information, such as formatted letters or resumes. Microsoft discontinued Write with the release of Windows 95, replacing it with Microsoft WordPad, which led to the decline in the use of WRI files. Despite this, several modern word processing programs can still open and convert WRI files to more common formats like DOCX, RTF, and TXT.

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.
