Frequently Asked Questions

How does HTML to Markdown conversion work?

The converter parses HTML DOM elements and maps them to their Markdown equivalents: <h1>-<h6> become '#', <strong> becomes '**', <em> becomes '*', <a> becomes '[text](url)', <img> becomes '![alt](url)', and <table> elements are formatted into Markdown pipe syntax.

Does it support complex HTML tables?

Yes, standard HTML <table> structures with <thead> and <tbody> are automatically transformed into clean GFM pipe-delimited tables with aligned header rows.

Why convert HTML to Markdown?

Markdown is lightweight, human-readable, version-control friendly (ideal for Git), and widely supported across modern documentation platforms like GitHub, Notion, Obsidian, and static site generators.
