Move text into Obsidian-style vaults

Markdown-first vaults work best with .md files. Convert TXT notes before organizing them with links and metadata.

Create a lightweight documentation file

Use MD when you want a human-readable document that is still plain text but can carry simple formatting instructions.

Keep notes portable while adding structure

Markdown stays readable as plain text, so it is useful when you want headings and lists without locking the file into a word-processing format.

Move meeting notes into a Markdown knowledge base

Markdown works well in documentation systems, Git repositories, note apps, and static sites. Convert the TXT first, then add the structure you need.
