Markdown

Markdown is a lightweight markup language using plain text with conventions for headings, lists, links, and emphasis. It is widely used for docs, READMEs, and notes. DocLD may accept Markdown as an input file format for parsing and can output parsed or converted content as Markdown (e.g., PDF-to-Markdown, document-to-Markdown) for use in version control, static sites, or downstream tools.

In DocLD

• Input — Markdown files can be parsed; structure (headings, paragraphs) supports chunking and layout analysis.
• Output — Parsed or transformed documents may be exported in Markdown form for readability and tooling.
• Docs — DocLD documentation and glossary content are written in MDX/Markdown.

Markdown sits between plain text and rich formats; it preserves structure without binary or complex markup. It is a common interchange format for document content.
