Description

Hello everybody!

Hope you are doing well.

I reviewed the latest version of the _markitdown.py file, and its content is already more than 1.5K. Maybe it's time to leave in _markitdown.py only the class MarkItDown, and move other classes in other modules?

It's just a suggestion.

Research direction

Start by reviewing _markitdown.py and identifying the classes besides MarkItDown that would be affected. The issue does not name target modules, tests, or a concrete module layout, so first establish those boundaries and how existing behavior will be verified. Done means the structure is split without changing the converter's behavior.
