- 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.
- Commonly used by web browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer to show format text and images in an HTML web page. In plain text format, they contain markup code.
