- Description
- The XPM (X11 Pixmap Graphic) file format is a plain text file format used to store pixmap images, which are pixel-based graphics. It is designed for use with the X Window System, commonly used in Unix and Linux environments. XPM files define images in a structured format, using ASCII text to describe each pixel's color and location within the image. This format supports both monochrome and color images and allows for the definition of custom color palettes.
- 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.
