Frequently asked questions
Does this tool preserve HTML tables as Markdown tables?
Yes, standard HTML tables are converted into GitHub Flavored Markdown table syntax with aligned pipes and header separators.
What happens to inline styles and class attributes?
Styling attributes like class, style, and inline CSS are dropped since Markdown doesn't support them - only structural content is preserved.
Can it convert nested lists correctly?
Yes, nested ordered and unordered lists are converted with proper indentation to preserve their hierarchy in Markdown.
Does it handle images and links?
Yes, anchor tags become Markdown links and img tags become Markdown image syntax, preserving href, src, and alt text.
Is my HTML content uploaded to convert it?
No, the entire conversion runs locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript, so nothing is sent to a server.
Can I convert the Markdown back to HTML afterward?
Yes, use the companion Markdown to HTML converter to reverse the transformation at any time.
Does it support code blocks and inline code?
Yes, pre and code elements are converted into fenced code blocks or inline backtick syntax as appropriate.
