Frequently Asked Questions

What HTML elements does the converter support?

The converter handles headings (h1-h6), paragraphs, bold/strong, italic/em, strikethrough, links, images, code, pre/code blocks, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, tables, horizontal rules, and line breaks.

Why convert HTML to Markdown?

Markdown is much easier to read and write than HTML. Common use cases include converting blog post content for a static site generator, preparing content for GitHub READMEs, or migrating from a CMS to a Markdown-based system.

Will nested elements be converted correctly?

Yes. Nested structures like lists inside lists, bold inside links, or code inside paragraphs are handled correctly using recursive DOM traversal.

Is the output GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM)?

Mostly yes. The converter outputs GFM-compatible Markdown including strikethrough (~~text~~), tables with alignment separators, and fenced code blocks (``` syntax).
