Microsoft Launches Tool to Convert Files into Markdown
By
–
Breaking: Microsoft just shipped a tool that converts almost any file format into clean Markdown automatically. PDFs, Word docs, Excel sheets, PowerPoint decks, audio files, YouTube URLs. All of it. Clean output every time. Markdown is the format large language models process best and getting files into it has always been messier than it should be. No clean parser, broken layouts, scrambled text. This removes all of that. One install. Clean structured markup. Ready for any model to consume. (Link in the comments) [Translated from EN to English]
