'''DWD''' is a game map format used by DoomEd, the in-house level editor used by id Software to create the levels for the game Doom. Maps in DWD format were used as input to the map compiler DoomBSP, which converted them to the [[Doom WAD]] format.

Unlike the WAD format, which is binary, DWD files are plaintext files, which list all lines and objects on the map in fairly human-readable format.
