SQL Server documentation formats

dbForge Studio for SQL Server supports the following file formats for documentation generation: HTML, PDF, and Markdown.

Format	Description	When to use
HTML	Generates documentation as a set of linked HTML pages, including a main.html file and subfolders with information about database objects. Open main.html to browse the documentation by using the navigation tree.	Use this format for large Microsoft SQL Server databases when you need structured, easy-to-navigate documentation across multiple pages.
PDF	Generates the documentation as a single PDF file. Open the file in any application that supports the PDF format.	Use this format when you need read-only documentation that is easy to share, review, or print.
Markdown	Generates documentation as .md (Markdown) files that contain plain text with Markdown formatting. These files can be opened in Markdown editors or converted to HTML. Since Markdown is a markup language, you can work with the text on any device that uses any operating system.	Use this format when you need flexible, editable documentation that works well with version control systems and can be reused across different platforms.
