MD at a glance
MD
Convert to Markdown when the output should remain easy to edit in plain text, store in Git, review in diffs, or feed into automated publishing systems.
It is ideal for documentation, articles, developer guides, release notes, and notes that will later be rendered into richer formats.
Use Markdown when semantic structure matters more than exact page layout.
CSV at a glance
CSV
Convert to CSV when data needs to move between tools rather than preserve layout.
It is the standard target for database exports, spreadsheet imports, mailing-list uploads, analytics extracts, and one-time migrations into other business systems.
Use CSV when recipients need a simple table they can open anywhere or ingest programmatically, and avoid it when formulas, multiple sheets, cell formatting, comments, or strong typing need to survive the conversion.
CSV is best when interoperability and machine-readability matter more than presentation.
