Markdown and TXT explained
Markdown is plain text with lightweight conventions — hashes for headings, asterisks for emphasis — that stays readable as written while converting cleanly to HTML.
Plain text is characters and nothing else — no fonts, no sizes, no layout. It is the most durable digital format there is, readable by every computer built in the last fifty years.
- Where Markdown files come from
