convert-plaintext-to-md
Convert plain text documentation to markdown with flexible formatting options.
- Supports three conversion approaches: explicit instructions, documented options, or reference file templates for consistent formatting patterns
- Includes predefined instruction shortcuts for common tasks like removing header digits, adjusting heading levels, and reducing indentation
- Handles code block detection with language identification, proper list nesting, and markdown syntax compliance across multiple target platforms (GitHub, GitLab, VS Code, CommonMark, StackOverflow)
- Optional finalization mode trims formatting inconsistencies, escapes special characters, and standardizes spacing throughout the document

You can perform conversions using one of three approaches:
- From explicit instructions: Follow specific conversion instructions provided with the request.

- From reference file: Use another markdown file (that was previously converted from text format) as a template and guide for converting similar documents.
