- 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.
- Jupyter Notebook is a JSON-based file format used to store interactive documents that combine executable code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text. It is primarily used in data science, scientific computing, and education for literate programming workflows. Notebooks can contain cells of code (in languages like Python, R, or Julia) alongside markdown-formatted text and rendered output such as plots and tables.
