How MARKDOWN Handles ODG Data
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. Quality in this conversion depends primarily on your source file. A high-quality OpenDocument Drawing input produces an excellent Markdown Document output. Since the target format is lossless, output quality matches your input exactly. OpenDocument Drawing encodes data using mathematical algorithms that preserve every data point. Markdown Document prioritizes exact data preservation. The conversion maps between these approaches intelligently.
Document conversion from OpenDocument Drawing to Markdown Document involves translating formatting, layout, fonts, and embedded content between document models. Complex formatting like tables, headers, footers, and page breaks are mapped as accurately as possible. Some format-specific features (macros, track changes, advanced styles) may not have direct equivalents in the target format.

What if my ODG file won't convert?▼
