What this converter supports
The browser-based converter handles common headings, paragraphs, emphasis, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, inline code, code blocks, line breaks and horizontal rules. Unknown layout elements are reduced to their text content rather than copied as raw HTML.
Why HTML and Markdown are not identical
HTML can represent complex layouts, attributes, forms, scripts and styling that standard Markdown cannot express. Conversion therefore focuses on document meaning rather than pixel-perfect appearance. Tables, embedded media and custom components may need manual revision after conversion.
Editing checklist
- Check relative links and image paths.
- Verify nested lists and code fences.
- Remove navigation or boilerplate that should not be part of the document.
- Preview the Markdown in the platform where it will be published.
Frequently asked questions
Will CSS styles be converted?
No. Markdown represents document structure and emphasis, not most CSS layout or visual styling.
Are tables supported?
This version focuses on common document elements. Complex HTML tables should be reviewed and converted manually or with a dedicated table converter.
Is pasted HTML sent to a server?
No. The conversion is performed locally in your browser.
