MultiMarkdown is an expanded Perl-based implementation of John Gruber’s original Markdown language. It builds on the simplicity of Markdown’s text-to-HTML conversion by adding support for features that make it more useful for technical writing, academic publishing, and complex documents. The project allows users to write documents in a human-readable plain text format and convert them into structured HTML or other formats. Unlike standard Markdown, MultiMarkdown adds capabilities for tables, footnotes, citations, cross-references, and metadata, making it especially valuable for longer and more detailed documents. Its design philosophy is to maintain Markdown’s ease of use while expanding its ability to handle professional publishing needs. Although this version is no longer under active development since MultiMarkdown 3, it remains a reference implementation for earlier enhancements to Markdown.

Previously known as Damaged DOCX2TXT, this GUI program will extract text from damaged/corrupted Word 2007 - 2013 DOCX format documents. DOCX files are actually zipped collections of mostly XML files. The main text in docx files is found in document.xml file in the collection. Corrupt DOCX Salvager uses 7Zip, an unzipper that sometimes unzips partially corrupt document.xml files despite reporting an error. XML as a format is unforgiving of data corruption but Corrupt DOCX Salvager uses a Perl routine used to extract the text from the document.xml file which doesn't care about well-formed XML, a recovery stumbling block for Microsoft Word. Recent changes include the pretreatment of docx files with InfoZip's zip.exe -FF repair command, improving success rates. Also added are links to other solutions. If you are unsatisfied with the results, try my other corrupt Word recovery capable programs here on Sourceforge, S2 Recovery Tools for Word and Savvy DOCX Recovery.
