- Description
- Comprises of texts, hyperlinks, and images that make up help documentation saved in HTML format. They provide help solutions that can be viewed on web browsers.
- An MD file is a text file created using one of several possible dialects of the Markdown language. It is saved in plain text format but includes inline text symbols that define how to format the text (e.g., bold, indentations, headers, table formatting). MD files are designed for authoring plain text documentation that can be easily converted to HTML.
