- Description
- The xlsb file type is a binary file format used to store Excel spreadsheets. It is a compressed version of the xlsx file type and can only be opened in the Microsoft Excel application. Compared to the xlsx, the xlsb format is much smaller in size and is less prone to corruption.
- 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.
