TEX at a glance
TEX
Convert to TEX when the destination workflow expects source for LaTeX or TeX-based publishing rather than a finished office document.
It is the right target for papers, theses, technical manuals, books, and any content that will be typeset with strong control over equations, references, and print layout.
Use TEX when structured source and compile-time publishing matter more than immediate WYSIWYG editing.
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.
