How MD Handles CAP Data
Convert CAP to SRT for non-broadcast use On the output side, Use Markdown for all developer documentation and README files Together, following these practices ensures the best conversion outcome between CAP Subtitle and Markdown Document. Dynamic range — the span from darkest to brightest values — is handled carefully during this conversion. CAP Subtitle preserves the full range. Markdown Document maintains the complete dynamic range. Xonvert preserves embedded metadata (EXIF, XMP, ID3 tags, etc.) whenever the Markdown Document format supports it. Format-exclusive metadata fields that have no equivalent in Markdown Document are gracefully omitted without affecting the converted content.
This is a cross-category conversion from Subtitle (CAP Subtitle) to Document (Markdown Document). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your CAP Subtitle source and maps it into the Markdown Document format. Subtitle files typically contain broadcast television closed captioning, while Document files are used for README files. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.
