Frequently asked questions
What HTML elements are supported?
Headings (h1-h3), bold/strong, italic/em, links, ordered and unordered lists, code, images, horizontal rules, and paragraphs. Complex elements like tables may need manual adjustment.
What about inline styles and classes?
HTML styles, classes, and attributes are stripped — Markdown doesn't support styling. Only the semantic content is preserved. This is actually beneficial for clean, portable content.
Can I convert an entire web page?
You can paste the content HTML, but skip navigation, headers, footers, and scripts. The converter works best with article/content HTML, not full page source.
Why use Markdown instead of HTML?
Markdown is human-readable, easier to write, and platform-independent. It's the standard for documentation, READMEs, and static site generators. Converting from HTML to Markdown makes content portable.
