- Description
- 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.
- The dot file extension is associated with Microsoft Word, a popular word processing software developed by Microsoft. Specifically, a dot file is a Word Document Template, which serves as a blueprint for creating multiple documents with a similar format, layout, and structure. These templates can include predefined styles, formatting, text, and even images that can be used to create new documents with a consistent look and feel, saving time and ensuring uniformity across documents for personal, educational, or business purposes.
