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.
The 8 file extension refers to Unix Section 8 Manual Pages, which document system administration commands, daemons, and hardware-related commands. These files are part of the Unix operating system's manual pages and are intended to be viewed using the "man" utility. Each 8 file is named after the command it describes, such as "shutdown.8" for the shutdown command. Historically, Unix manual pages have been a fundamental part of Unix documentation since the early 1970s, providing essential information for system administrators and users.
