Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax. It's designed to be readable as plain text while being convertible to HTML. GitHub, Reddit, Stack Overflow, and many CMSs use Markdown for content.

Does it handle tables?

Yes, HTML tables are converted to GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) table syntax. For complex tables with merged cells, a simplified version is generated.

What happens to HTML that has no Markdown equivalent?

HTML attributes not representable in standard Markdown (like CSS classes, inline styles, data attributes) are stripped, keeping only the semantic content. You can choose to keep some HTML as raw HTML in the output.

Can I convert a whole web page?

You can paste the full HTML source of any page. The tool will convert all supported elements and ignore non-content HTML (script, style, meta tags). For best results, paste only the body content.

Is the output compatible with GitHub Markdown?

Yes, the output uses GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) syntax, which includes tables, task lists, and fenced code blocks with language syntax highlighting hints.
