- Description
- The XWD (X Windows Dump) image file format is a native graphic format associated with the X Window System, which is a windowing system for bitmap displays commonly used in UNIX and Linux environments. An XWD file is essentially a dump or snapshot of what is being displayed on a screen or part of it at a given moment. It stores image data in an uncompressed form, including the header information that contains details about the image's size, color, and format.
- 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.
