Conversion Tips

What happens to inline styles?

Markdown doesn't support complex CSS, so inline styles are stripped and replaced with their semantic equivalent (e.g., strong for bold, em for italic).

Handling Images and Links

Our tool automatically converts `<a>` tags to `[text](url)` and `<img>` tags to `![alt](url)` for seamless transition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it handle complex tables?

Yes! We attempt to convert HTML tables into the standard Markdown pipe-and-dash table format where possible.

Is there a limit to the HTML size?

This tool is designed for snippets and individual page sections. For entire websites, we recommend a batch-processing utility.
