About Markdown to TXT
Converting Markdown to plain text strips formatting characters but preserves structure as much as the format allows. Headings keep their hierarchy via blank lines and underline conventions; lists become indented dashes or numbers; emphasis (`*bold*`, `_italic_`) is unwrapped; links become "link text (URL)"; images become "[alt text]". This output is useful for copy-paste into word processors, plain-text email, terminal output, voice-readable formats, or legacy systems that don't support rich text (older ticketing systems, IRC, SMS). Line endings: the export uses `\n` (Unix) by default; convert to `\r\n` if pasting into Windows-only tools.
TXT-specific workflow
- Paste your Markdown.
- Review the plain-text preview — confirm link URLs and image alt text are preserved.
- Copy to clipboard or download as `.txt`.
- For email or chat, paste directly; for legacy systems, save as `.txt` with the encoding (UTF-8 or ASCII) the system expects.
TXT workflow scenarios
- Share TXT output with teams that do not edit Markdown directly.
- Archive finalized documents as TXT for handoff and record keeping.
- Reuse the same Markdown source for iterative editing and TXT distribution.
