Writage is a plugin for Microsoft Word that lets you create, edit and save Markdown files (.md, .markdown and .txt). Thanks to the add-on you'll avoid the work of manipulating the Markdown editors and in this way you can convert your .doc files into a Markdown file.

To convert documents, you need to have "Pandoc" installed on your computer.
