About the formats

What is DOCX?

DOCX (Word Open XML) is the modern editable format for word processor documents, used by Microsoft Word, Google Docs and LibreOffice. Despite the file extension, a DOCX file is a ZIP container holding the document text and structure as XML. It has been the default format for Word documents since 2007.

Use DOCX when you need an editable document that others can open and change, reports, letters, essays and any text that will be revised or worked on together. Its open XML structure also makes it the reliable choice for converting into PDF before sharing.

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language that lets you write formatted documents in plain text using simple symbols. The same file reads clearly as text and renders as styled HTML, making it popular for documentation, README files and notes. It is also widely used to feed clean text to large language models.

Use Markdown for content that should be readable as plain text but publishable with formatting, README files, documentation, wikis, notes and posts. Write it anywhere, and it stays usable forever because the source is plain text.
