Microsoft Word Document - Legacy (.doc)

The DOC file extension, standing for "Microsoft Word Document", is a legacy format used by Microsoft Word. Introduced in the early 1980s with Microsoft Word for MS-DOS, it became the standard format for saving documents until the adoption of the DOCX format with Microsoft Word 2007. DOC files encapsulate text, formatting, images, and other document elements, and were pivotal in advancing word processing capabilities, offering extensive features for creating professional and complex documents in both personal and professional contexts. Despite the shift to DOCX, DOC files remain significant for their compatibility with older software versions and extensive archival of legacy documents.

The MD file extension stands for "Markdown Documentation", a lightweight markup language used primarily for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor. Originally created by John Gruber in 2004, Markdown aims to be an easy-to-read and easy-to-write syntax for web content creation. Its primary use is in documentation files, readme files, and other technical documents where both simplicity and readability are paramount. The MD extension facilitates smooth conversion into HTML and other formats, making it an essential tool for developers and technical writers.
