About the Formats

RTF (Rich Text Format)

RTF is a document format created by Microsoft in 1987 for cross-platform text exchange. It supports basic formatting — bold, italics, font sizes, colours, and tables — while remaining compatible with virtually every word processor: Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, TextEdit, and WordPad.

Compatibility: Near-universal — readable by Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, Apple Pages, Google Docs, and most word processors.

Markdown (Markdown)

Markdown is a lightweight, human-readable plain-text formatting syntax created by John Gruber and Aaron Swartz. Simple punctuation marks up headings, bold, italics, links, code, and lists — and it converts cleanly to HTML.

Compatibility: Supported by GitHub, VS Code, Notion, Obsidian, Hugo, Jekyll, and virtually all developer tools.
