Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert HTML to Markdown?

Markdown is the standard format for README files, documentation (GitBook, MkDocs), static site generators (Hugo, Jekyll, Next.js MDX), and note-taking apps. Converting HTML to Markdown makes content portable and human-readable.

Does the converter handle all HTML tags?

It handles common structural tags (headings, paragraphs, links, images, lists, bold, italic, code). Complex tables and forms are converted to plain text. For production-grade conversion, use a dedicated library like Turndown.
