Markdown files are text-based files that use lightweight symbols to define formatting (like # for headings or ** for bold).AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and others often output content in Markdown format - using bold text, bullet points, headings, and code blocks to structure their responses.
The Markdown format is frequently used by developers for README files, documentation, and note-taking. You can find Markdown files on platforms like GitHub, Stack Overflow, Reddit, and Discord, and personal knowledge bases like Obsidian and Notion.
