Why convert HTML to Markdown
Markdown is more readable than HTML in raw form, easier to write and edit by hand, and is the standard format for developer documentation, README files, and many content management systems. Converting HTML to Markdown lets you move content from websites, legacy CMS exports, or HTML editors into a Markdown-based workflow. Static site generators like Jekyll, Hugo, and Gatsby all work natively with Markdown.
What gets converted
All common HTML elements with Markdown equivalents are handled. Heading tags h1 through h6 become hash symbols. Bold tags become double asterisks. Italic tags become single asterisks. Strikethrough becomes double tildes. Code tags become backticks. Pre and code blocks become fenced code blocks. Anchor tags become Markdown links. Image tags become Markdown image syntax. Lists, tables, blockquotes, and horizontal rules all convert correctly.
What gets stripped
HTML elements with no Markdown equivalent — div, span, section, aside, nav, header, footer — are stripped with their text content preserved. Class names, IDs, and style attributes are removed, giving clean Markdown focused on content structure.
