Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this support all HTML elements?
- The converter handles the most common elements: headings (h1–h6), bold, italic, links, images, unordered lists, ordered lists, code, pre blocks, blockquotes, paragraphs, line breaks, and horizontal rules. Non-standard or CSS-styled layout elements (divs, spans, tables) are stripped.
- Is my HTML sent to a server?
- No. The conversion is a pure regex transformation running in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or transmitted.
- Can I use this for CMS migrations?
- Yes. This tool is useful for converting legacy HTML blog posts or documentation pages to Markdown when migrating to a Markdown-based CMS. For large-scale migrations, consider the Pandoc CLI tool (pandoc -f html -t markdown input.html -o output.md).
- Why does my Markdown look slightly different from the original HTML?
- Markdown is a simpler format than HTML. Some visual formatting (alignment, colour, custom fonts) cannot be expressed in standard Markdown and is intentionally stripped. The converter focuses on semantic content (headings, emphasis, links) rather than presentation.
