MarkItDown

Overview

MarkItDown is Microsoft's lightweight Python utility for turning common documents into structure-preserving Markdown. Its output is designed primarily for indexing, text analysis, search, and LLM ingestion—not high-fidelity visual reproduction.

This skill targets MarkItDown 0.1.8, released September 21, 2026. New code should use result.markdown; result.text_content remains only as a soft-deprecated compatibility alias.
