Convert XML JATS to MDWN

The Journal Article Tag Suite (JATS) XML file extension is pivotal in digital publishing. XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. JATS, an NISO standard, was designed to tag and structure the content of scholarly articles. Initially derived from NLM (National Library of Medicine) DTDs in the early 2000s, JATS ensures consistent formatting and metadata tagging for articles, facilitating efficient indexing, searchability, and interoperability across various databases and platforms. Its use in the academic and scientific community supports robust archiving and seamless dissemination of knowledge.

The MDWN file extension stands for Markdown Document and is associated with the Markdown Markup Language, created by John Gruber. It is used for writing and formatting plain text documents. MDWN files are compatible with various text editors like Markdown, Visual Studio Code, and Atom, and are widely used for documentation, note-taking, and content creation on platforms such as GitHub. The simplicity and readability of Markdown make it popular among developers and technical writers.
