    What actually changes

    DOCX and MD are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    Word styles are mapped back to Markdown syntax: headings, bold, italic, lists, links and tables. Everything else is dropped, which is normally the point of the exercise.

    Worth knowing first

    Documents formatted by hand rather than with styles convert badly. If a heading is just bold 16pt text rather than Heading 1, there is nothing structural to detect, and it comes out as a bold paragraph in the middle of the flow.

    Questions

    DOCX to MD, answered

    What happens to images?

    They are extracted as separate files and referenced from the Markdown. They cannot stay inside a plain text file.

    Do comments and tracked changes carry over?

    No. Resolve them in Word first, or they are silently discarded.
