Markdown Documentation (.txt)
Markdown Documentation files, often stored with a TXT extension, are utilized for writing plain-text formatted documents that are easy to read and convert to HTML. Originating in 2004 by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz, Markdown's intent was to create a simple syntax for writing web-based documents. It is widely adopted in software development, documentation, and content management systems due to its readability and ease of use. These files facilitate collaborative work and version control, making them indispensable in modern IT workflows.
