Markdown (.md)

Markdown provides an easy, human-readable way to structure and style text while remaining compatible with digital publishing systems. It’s widely used for documentation, technical communication, software readme files and web content because it can be easily converted into HTML, PDF or XML formats.

In content management and localization, Markdown offers flexibility and interoperability. It allows content teams to maintain consistent structure while simplifying translation and reuse. Because Markdown files separate content from formatting, they integrate seamlessly with structured content management systems (SCMS) like Tridion, where metadata, components and content modules can be localized efficiently. RWS supports Markdown-based workflows through intelligent content and localization solutions. By combining structured content principles with translation technology, RWS enables organizations to deliver clear, consistent and multilingual information across channels.
