Convert XML JATS to MKDN

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.

An MKDN (Markdown Documentation) file extension is utilized primarily for creating structured text documents using Markdown language, which is a lightweight markup language. This language simplifies the process of formatting text, converting it into HTML, and enhancing readability with plain text formatting syntaxes. MKDN files are highly favored for documentation in software development, due to their ability to seamlessly integrate with various tools and platforms, providing an efficient way to maintain and share documentation.
