Convert XML JATS to TXT MARKDOWNMMD

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 MultiMarkdown Documentation (MMD), stored with a TXT file extension, is designed for text documents formatted in MultiMarkdown syntax. The MMD format streamlines the conversion of plain text into various formats such as HTML, PDF, and LaTeX, essential for professional documentation. Introduced in 2005 by Fletcher T. Penney, MMD enhances traditional Markdown by supporting additional features like tables, footnotes, and citations, optimizing documents for better readability and usability in diverse technical environments.
