MD at a glance
MD
Markdown was created in 2004 by John Gruber with Aaron Swartz, but the later CommonMark effort became important because the original syntax description was too ambiguous to keep implementations aligned.
JPS at a glance
JPS
JPS belongs to the period when consumer 3D displays, cameras, and media players experimented with stereo-photo conventions built on ordinary JPEG assets instead of inventing entirely new everyday imaging stacks.

FAQs
Why convert MD to JPS?

It is mainly useful for legacy stereoscopic-image exchange rather than mainstream still-image publishing.
What changes when converting MD to JPS?
This conversion changes how the format behaves in downstream tools and delivery environments.
Moving to JPS adds vector scaling.
What should I review after converting MD to JPS?
Validate output quality on representative files and confirm the target format behaves correctly in the destination workflow.
