Frequently Asked Questions

Which HTML elements are converted?
Common elements including headings (h1–h6), paragraphs, bold, italic, links, images, ordered and unordered lists, blockquotes, inline code, and fenced code blocks are all converted to their Markdown equivalents.
What happens to unsupported HTML elements?
Elements without a Markdown equivalent (like div, span, or table) are typically stripped or their text content is preserved without formatting.

About HTML to Markdown Converter

The HTML to Markdown Converter makes migrating content from HTML-based platforms to Markdown-driven systems straightforward. Whether you are moving a blog from WordPress to a static site generator, creating documentation in GitHub-flavoured Markdown, or cleaning up pasted web content, this tool handles the conversion accurately and instantly.

The converter recognises all standard HTML elements and maps them to appropriate Markdown syntax — headings become # symbols, bold text becomes **bold**, and code blocks get fenced with triple backticks. Complex nested structures are handled gracefully, with unsupported elements degenerating cleanly to their plain text content.
