Frequently Asked Questions

HTML is for web browsers—complex, tag-heavy. Markdown is human-readable plain text that converts to HTML. It's easier to write and edit documentation, READMEs, and blog posts.
Why convert HTML to Markdown?
Migrating content from websites to static site generators (Jekyll, Hugo), editing in Markdown-friendly editors (Obsidian, Typora), or creating cleaner documentation.
What HTML elements are supported?
Headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold/italic, lists (ul/ol), links, images, blockquotes, code blocks, and horizontal rules. Tables and complex HTML may need manual tweaking.
