Is there a place where I can find the standard for the Google Drive “Document” format, or an API method for converting from it to a standard format? I’m investigating the feasibility of making a note-taking app that works in either Markdown or plain text and syncs with Google Drive. Rather than sync the raw files, it seems better to convert them to and from the Google Drive HTML format so that they can be edited with Google Drive and other integrated apps.

Yes, you can export them to common types using the API. There are no public specs about the internal Google Docs types, however.
