dotnet-managedcode-markitdown

Use ManagedCode.MarkItDown inside a dedicated ingestion or processing service in your .NET app. Feed it the office or rich-text documents your application handles, then pass the resulting Markdown to indexing, chunking, or AI summarization stages.

Place Markdown conversion before indexing, chunking, or AI enrichment so every downstream stage receives consistent Markdown input. Keep it isolated in one service rather than scattering format handling across the codebase.

It targets office and rich-text content commonly handled in .NET ingestion flows. You should validate converted output against the real input formats your application claims to support, including structure, links, headings, and attachments.

Check the converted Markdown for correct structure, links, headings, and attachment handling using tests or review samples drawn from real input files. The output only needs to be good enough for the actual downstream consumer.

It fits .NET applications that need deterministic document-to-Markdown conversion inside a processing pipeline. If your app is not on .NET or does not depend on Markdown for downstream processing, a different conversion approach may fit better.
