Markdown (MD)

If your content is in Microsoft Word but your applications increasingly rely on AI, converting DOCX to Markdown is one of the most impactful moves you can make. DOCX is great for authoring and rich formatting. However, AI systems thrive on clean, explicit structure in plain text. Markdown provides both human-readable text and machine-friendly semantics.

TX Text Control .NET Server fully supports loading and saving Markdown (MD) documents, just like any other file format. This makes it easy to integrate web-based documents into page-oriented formats and vice versa.

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax. Its design allows it to be converted to many output formats, but the original tool by the same name only supports HTML. Markdown is often used to format readme files, for writing messages in online discussion forums, and to create rich text using a plain text editor.

When a Markdown document is loaded, its structure is fully preserved. Headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, links, images, and other elements are converted to their corresponding representations in the document. This ensures that the content remains organized and easy to read.

When saving a document as Markdown, the formatting and structure are converted back to the Markdown syntax. This includes converting headings to their respective Markdown representations (e.g., # for H1, ## for H2), lists to bullet points or numbered lists, and tables to Markdown table syntax.

To use Markdown support, you will need to install the optional Markdown NuGet package. This package provides the necessary functionality to load and save Markdown documents:
