Convert HTML to Markdown
About HTML to Markdown Conversion
This tool converts HTML content to Markdown format, which is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. Markdown is widely used for documentation, README files, forum posts, and more.
Common Use Cases
- Converting web content for use in documentation
- Preparing content for GitHub repositories
- Migrating content between different CMS platforms
- Simplifying complex HTML into more readable format
- Creating content for Markdown-based static site generators
Conversion Features
- Converts headings (h1-h6) to Markdown headings (#)
- Preserves links and their attributes
- Converts lists (ordered and unordered)
- Handles emphasis (bold, italic) correctly
- Converts tables to Markdown table syntax
- Preserves code blocks and inline code
- Sanitizes HTML to remove potentially unsafe content
Tip: For best results, ensure your HTML is well-formed before conversion. The sanitize option can help clean up messy HTML, but it may also remove some content that it considers unsafe.
